Hidden Air Compressor Install - Jeep Wrangler or Gladiator

Having the ability to easily air up your tires after a long day on the trail is helpful, but having to lug around a bulky air compressor or installing one in a storage area that takes up space just isn't ideal. In this video, I install the ARB Twin Air Compressor and mount system on my wife's 2018 Jeep Wrangler. This mounting system tucked the compressor away in a nice location, but allows for ease of use when you need to inflate and deflate your tires.

A "Little Patience" my A**!!! But seriously thank you! Received the compressor and bracket yesterday and installed last night. This is exactly the solution I wanted: I thought I was going to have to settle for the single motor solution. The install went as described with the exception of "getting to those nuts was a little tricky, but a little patience ...." To seat those nuts it took me an hour and a half and a 20 minute taride of profanity and expletives, even came up with a few new phrases I didn't even knew existed.

Hey Brad! I'm deployed to Afghanistan currently and I thank you for your videos as they bring a piece of home to me. I'll hopefully be back home to Lake Tahoe in the next few months and I can't wait to get in the Jeep and hit the trails! Thank you, and if you're ever in the Lake Tahoe area I would love to chat and hit the trails! All the best, Nick

After watching this video this is exactly the setup I’ve been looking for, I’ve been wanting to install ARB dual air compressor on my Gladiator and just wasn’t sure about the location. But after seeing the Grimes off-road mount system that was perfect for me, Especially the switch location as my factory switches on the dash have already been designated for different parts on the vehicle such as off road lights, rock lights, etc. Using my E3 overland discount I order the Grimm Off-road / ARB system today. Thanks for anther good video!

Love that it's inside and not in the engine area; so no outside contaminates. Also runs my lockers. With the Mrs. JL 2door that looks like a great place!

I bought that same kit from your site. It's a great setup and inflates my tires pretty quick and was easy to install. I would suggest buying all 10 of the fender clips and when disconnecting the turn signal harness, pull out the red lever and press the small red button to release. I screwed around with the fender for an hour trying to figure it out...otherwise an easy install.

Not near the motor. No issues. Not a cheap product, but works great, very well made. (I have no connection with the manufacturer)

Thinking of installing this in my '05 TJ Rocky Mtn at some point. It's a lot easier with a TJ, there's a metal shelf to the right of the brake booster like it was made for this ARB compressor. For now, my ViAir compressor still does a great job. Can't believe how little room there is under those Jl hoods. I think your son made a great decision getting a TJ, a lot less tech bells and whistles.

Could the mounting bracket have been bolted to the firewall first, then the compressor mounted to it? Nice work and delivery as always!

Great video ... the kit was exactly what I've been looking for. BUT, in the small print, Grimm points out that it fits JL's with OEM equipped fenders and inner liners. There is so much variance between aftermarket liners that they didn't/couldn't accommodate them in the design. Shame on me, but I didn't read/understand this until after my kit was installed. If you have OEM fenders/liners, this is a great kit that was well designed and manufactured with quality parts. If you have aftermarket inner liners you need to be aware that it most likely won't work ... AAL and Metalcloak are two that it won't work with.

I’d be too worried that the dirt and heat from the engine bay would wear out the compressor pre-maturely.

Put rear seat in storage. JLR cargo problem solved. Carry ARB in case. Move it from one vehicle to another. Move it to a vehicle that needs it on the trail. Leave it at home when you are grocery shopping. Save the compressor from exposure to the elements. I just can't rationalize a hard install no matter how cool i think it seems.
