[Stage 3 Motorsports]

Wish i had a bronco in front of me to help with that question.... in due time.

2021 Ford Bronco under hood mounting bracket?

Not that I am aware of Just yet but the second I know the forum will know

I’ll probably mount another CKMA12 in the rear storage compartment again, like i did with my Jeep. It’s not super fast, but it’s small, affordable and will fill a 37”!tire from 8psi-25psi in about 2 minutes.

Grimm Offroad will have their current underhood bracket and switch relocation solution for the JL for the Bronco as soon as they can get their hands on a unit for development

ARB showed off their under-hood mount. We'll see if it goes into production

And a Ford version has shown up in accessory lists but it's yet to surface on their site.

Any idea when the ARB parts might go on sale?

I emailed them and they said they should have a better idea of that late this month. Don't know if that means they will be releasing their stuff then though. I am hoping soon because I like the rear bumper they have for the bronco

I am trying to stay on top of all product releases, although im sure everyone is, as soon as I have more info ill be sure to share it.

 

[Ttp2017]

Thanks for the info! I just took the modular bumper off my build as I really want to order their front bumper and rock rails instead.

Thanks for posting this! Good info on the differences.

I like the ability to run a small impact gun is also nice if going with the dual.

Anyone use a Power tank?

My research on this very topic was done right after Ford first announced their under-hood mount for the dual compressor. Quite a few folks loved the power tank and stood by them.

The main draw-backs are that it's large, and not reliable in that if you run out of air out on the trail, you're done for and need a tow or somebody else with a compressor. Plenty of folks that came across as solid outdoorsy people admitting they forgot to fill the tank because they had already loaded the vehicle and didn't want to un-load to get to the tank and check, only to have to rely upon their friends.

Power Tank is a perfectly viable direction to go, but there are more limitations than an on-board system. (which isn't flawless, a low battery or failing alternator will see the on-board air leaving you stranded just as well)

It just comes down to preference, and how much space you want to dedicate to the tank. Underhood compressor along with a small gun and airline under a seat doesn't take too much room.
