Hi everyone it’s BBR

,

When I sold the Wildtrak I discovered you can’t mount the dual ARB in engine bay because of how it’s setup.

Saw a friends awesome setup he put in trunk etc but wanted a different solution, because I tend to change vehicle every few years.

Attached are photos of dual ARB I bought from a company (name escapes me sorry) and then my buddy @Dubsesd connected the ARB air control module for use by ARB app.

Looks good in that Packout. Good option if one is not going to perma-mount one.

That's a smart-looking setup. Down side could be deformation or melting of the plastic case by the end of your air-up cycle. There is intense heat generated at the pump, and at the air fittings under use.

Yeah my first go around shocked me how hot the air fittings got.

Nice. But yes you can mount an ARB in the engine bay of a Wildtrack. We sell a kit that allows this. Our kit works on all broncos except Everglades and Raptors. (I think you forgot to add you HAD a wildtrack but your now IN a Raptor, so yeah... no room for you!)

You're probably spending more on that Packout case and labor to do that though BUT if you have an extra compressor laying around it's a great solution to re-purpose it for a little extra $$.

We do sell the ARB kits which are portable and in a carrying case, BUT again, if you have the air compressor from an old truck... great way to re-purpose it!

I bet that thing rips a lot faster than the Milwaukee Inflator but I've been content to just sit around.
It's not slow by "inflator" standards but big tires stress those things out.
I am a big fan of the LocknFlate air chuck. It seems to get a non-leaking bite much more consistently than single-jaw air chucks, and holding a non-latching one on is just a no-go.

The Lock N Flates are awesome. I bought one on for myself, loved it so much we now stock them. Amazing air chuck!

You can mount a ARB in a Wildtrack, you must mean you traded in the wildtrack and now the pump won't fit in a . . . Raptor?

Yes he has a raptor....anyways, Iike the solution. Check out how vrtical has his mounted. It's pretty slick.

This is the ARB dual compressor and mount from Ford Parts in a 2.7 Fits just fine!

As I often say in threads anything like this...

C02 FTW.

Speed, weight, volume, etc. FTW. Only minor downside is trips and expense for filling. I can get my 37s from 15 to 35 in about 20 seconds (with Monster Valves, of course).

OP meant that while the ARB fit in his Wildtrack, it wouldn't fit in his new Raptor . . . Not enough room in Raptor engine compartment.

Ya could have mounted the compressor in the back - we sell a power extension

I like a mounted air compressor - takes up less room although in a raptor it gets mounted inside

Out DD kit has lights with the amber back light that match it: https://www.4x4truckleds.com/vehicle-specific/ford-bronco/2021-bronco/fog-lights/
