Totally OK! I was going to add that you can keep it close to the vest before reveal but decided not to haha
:) It's taking everything in me not to just share the CAD drawings and all that. Once I finish verifying the final prototype fits I'll put it up for sale on our site and share info here.

Keep in mind this is made from 10 Gauge Stainless Steel + Powder Coated Black. I don't know that many places that sell mounting brackets for ARB Compressors made from Stainless but we like to go overkill.
So your ARB twin bracket will be load bearing. Would certainly be original to hoist a vehicle out of a ditch via it's air compressor bracket.

Just can't imagine how your materials and assembly costs are going to skyrocket over the next year by using 10g SS given current materials costs and their price trajectory

Even Yoder had to increase the price of their pellet smokers by nearly 40% in the past year just to lose less money on using 10g metal.

Would love this to change, but for now, steel is insane. FWIW, both hot rolled band and cold rolled coil prices have gone up even faster than the plate price shown below.

Go big or go home :) LOL. The idea behind our KR Off-Road brand is nothing but PURE quality and durability. Every KR Off-Road product carries a lifetime guarantee. If you break it, we'll replace it!

Yeah when we went to have more Gen2 Raptor brackets cut from our local supplier, the prices were a big increase from the last purchase in December last year. And just looking around and comparing prices, everybody is raising them. And shipping costs are going up as is paint work.

Hot rolled compared to stainless isn't too much in savings. So little that honestly it's maybe a $30 difference so we're just doing stainless and calling it a day. I'd rather know the product can take some abuse and not rust for $30 more or so to the end user then save a few pennies.

For those worried about real estate to mount the ARB twin compressor.....
Just use this as your inspiration:
No one will ever know the difference😉

Can we see the prototype / real thing @4x4TruckLEDs.com ? Were your putting it in the engine bay?
In another week and a half or so :) Once the prototype comes back from being laser cut we'll take photos of it installed

Very likely too many amps to work on the AC plug. Thats why most portable air pumps have direct battery alligator clips. And to mount the air pump in the rear of the vehicle would take a large gauge copper wire to handle the current.
We figured that out months ago
