Has anyone done the onboard air with a engine mounted compressor and ran a hookup under the front or rear bumper? I like the idea of having the compressor mounted in the engine bay, but I want to be able to access it without opening the hood.

I plan to mount my connection point at the mirror cowl. I saw someone on here did it and loved the concept. I can’t seem to find the thread now though.

SORT OF. Naturally we're running the ARB Twin under our hood. I have every connector/hose ARB makes in stock at our warehouse so the goal is to find a GOOD spot, out of the way, easy to get to, for this. Once we figure out the best spot we'll put together a "relocation kit" that includes all the fittings/hoses to relocate it.

Right now I'm thinking somewhere near the front bumer to save time/labor/costs in running parts and buying longer hoses. Just not 100% sure where. I need to account for people with standard/hd bumpers as well. The rears are pretty similar across the board but that would require a more expensive hose (longer)

Were the antenna goes looks like a good spot right now for short hoses.

Sorry our system isn't setup for that kind of thing. But once we get it together you know we'll be posting on here :)

We have all the components it's just a matter of DOING it. We just finished moving on Friday into our new warehouse so we've been playing catchup now.

Interested in a front Modular Bumper relocation kit as well if you come up with something. Already have the twin mounted under the hood

Awesome. Planning on getting your bracket and also ordering the ARB twin compressor from you as well. If you have the relocation kit available I will definitely want to order that as well!

Well we sell ARB's mounting plate, but our "kit" isn't available yet. It'll either incorporate ARB's mount and the adapters you need OR we'll make a new mount specific to the Broncos.

Was looking to mount on the crash bar mounts on my SAS.
