Excited to see what comes out!
You've relocated these?
The ARB Dual compressor have been very reliable over the years.
The biggest issues with mounting them where they can get submerged are the air intake filters (see above pic) and the cylinder head/cooling fan.
The filters are easy to fix, just relocate them to a safe dry spot. ARB makes it easy with their relocation kit: https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/...essories/171319-arb-air-filter-relocation-kit
The cylinder head/cooling fan would be the bigger problem. If you pack the area between the compressors with muck and mud, the fan won't be able to cool the cylinder head properly, causing overheating.
So just be sure to keep that area cleaned out.
For those who are planing on a twin compressor in the future, I saw the drawings for the new Grimm Offroad twin compressor kit. It mounts under the hood and looks pretty cool. If it works as good as their kit for the JL/JT, this will be another winner. I haven't heard a release date for it yet, but I keep pushing them to get it done!
FWIW, on 5th generation Ranger, there hasn't been an ARB dual install that I could find. Only this ARB single which was a tight fit.

There should be more room under-hood for Bronco. As @BroncoUnicorn mentioned, this is his first go at the location and will find out what works! Would love it if there were some mocked up alternatives just to see what's possible for Bronco, since the dual is a bit of a porker.
