OEM air compressor accessory -- ARB single or dual compressor?

[Pootklopp]

bumping this tread for anyone watching --

so the OEM compressor that comes with the TH is available -- there are a few in shops around the country. but it is $1250 for the part and an unknown amount to install -- maybe another $800. too much.

seems crazy to have 2400W available in the bed and not have a good and easy and reasonably priced compressor solution. i am still searching for ideas if anyone has figured this out!

I have seen one user here mount an arb in the engine. I also think I saw a company with a rear arb frame mounting kit for the rear.

That may have been me.

I developed a 3D-printed mount for it, and after 3700 miles, it's doing fine. You can find the file and instructions for it on Thingiverse.

Does anyone know if you will be able to use a morrflate type system with this compressor?

Yes you can, but you need a female/female cable to connect the system

Yup thats the one!

This is the rear frame mount option I also saw.

They have no install pictures on these so I have no idea what they end up looking like. It will also end up at ~$1,200 for a trailhunter like install with the price of an arb twin added.

Yowsers.

I had my ARB from the 3rd gen so other than plastic* it hasn't cost me anything. My Aux 1 switch turns it on.

*I don't recall how many prototype prints I did before I got it right, it may have been five.

Yeah half the price would be to buy the twin. The rest gets you lines and connectors for bed access. You have the single right?. Also have the CAtuned mount system for 1k.

Similar to yours but for the twin.

You have the single right?

I do and find it works fine.

Since I am in NJ I won't be airing down often with my truck. I am looking into these options primarily for cold weather use as we don't have much in terms of aired down driving here. Glad to hear you find it adequate, will save me a few hundred.

@Sagebrush -- thanks for this. i decided to go this route and my son printed the mount you posted. looking at the CAtuned video for installing the twin, it looks pretty straightforward. just one question -- is the wiring harness that is included with the single compressor long enough to get over to the passenger side fuse box under the hood (where the 12V system is accessed on the hybrid models)? thanks again!

It's barely long enough to come from my battery location, so you'll have to lengthen it a bit. No big deal, it's not a fistful of wires.

I used @Sagebrush 3D Bracket as well.
