[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]Now I spent ALOT of time looking for the perfect location for the ARB locker air compressor
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]I have had one of these (older version) under the hood of my BII since 1999 or so?? It still works like new to this day/. My wifes FJ cruiser also mounted compressor under the hood. Under the hood works it keeps them out of the elements cuts down on the noise and makes for a cleaner install w all the wiring and plumbing following factory routes. Also closer to the power distribution and dash for the switches.

[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]I wanted to put it under the hood for sure. Other options were under the truck, behind the grill, and a few others I looked at.
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]I finally decided to keep it simple
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]found a perfect location for the cruise control and used the factory cruise control bracket (or two) to mount things

[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]ARB HO Air compressor, factory mounting brackets are very nice, lots of ways to rotate and move things around to suit your needs
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]This is where I want the compressor to land
