ARB dual compressor mounting?

[avslash]

I have a 2012 LR4.

I don't have the dual compressor, but I do have the larger single ARB unit mounted in exactly the location you pictured to provide air for my front locker. I couldn't use the auxiliary battery box, as I have already added another battery in that location.

It was a bit of pain, as the bottom of the open area there is so oddly shaped. I ended up using rivserts to provide anchoring points, and had to hack up the ARB bottom bracket a bit, as well.

I originally wanted to go with the dual compressor, but after poking around in there, I decided that I wouldn't be able to make it fit.

We all enjoy photos of these solutions and who were you responding to?

ARB Twin installed under middle seat, works great, Dual battery up front, so no room under hood.

Nice! Can the seat still work as normal? Folding flat and such?

LOL the seats ARE folded flat.... there's plenty of room in each 3rd row footwell for that compressor. It's where I have a ton of recovery gear, tools, 48" high lift and wheel chocks.

I wouldn't want to use up all that space just to have a faster compressor. A single would also fit inside the rear sidewall behind the plastic. The single will fit up front under the hood in a couple locations though.

Seat folds fine, both upright and when 3rd and 2nd row are flat. no issues. the photo show the chuck missing, but its not a fit issue, i just pulled it temporarily for an airline. My Disco II in the avitar photo has a smaller onboard compressor but with a 1 gallon tank setup. i'm used to having the air in the cab vs in the engine compartment. the noise level is not bad, even if you're in the rig. i store other soft items in the blank space next to the compressor anyways. Its a nice setup if you've added a dual battery setup under the hood.

if i was just filling my tires, a single is fine, but i'm usually filling other's tires and or i can run air tools with this setup. i have a portable 1 gallon i line in as well for the air tools. the twin is a way better setup than the single. If anyone is interested in the single, i've got one new in box, let me know, j

Awesome, I think I'm going to go this route and likely mount an air tank under the truck somewhere.
