ARB Twin Compressor Installed -- mounted under bed, above spare

[badger719]

Looks really good.

I have my ARB twin mounted under my passenger seat in my 2021 but I have a feeling on the next Gladiator I get that won't be an option with power seats coming in 2024.

I would recommend number 4 Ga. size wire to feed your install. Your only working with 12 volts so you will need that size wire to keep the compresser from overheating.

The Expedition Essentials extension harness is a proven design and has been on the market for years (and recommended by ARB). If I remember right, it was designed by a former aircraft electrical engineer.

If anyone is mounting their compressor in this location or another that may be vulnerable to water ingression, ARB makes a "snorkel" kit for their compressors. Or you can figure out the fittings (1/4NPT) and make them yourself.

Steven B, Okay and you don't think that Engineers are not part of this group? Just saying that the run of wire is long for 12 volts and the Amps for that run may need bigger gauge wire. If you don't want help then that's fine! I will remember that!

I found this was mentioned in multiple post, but no one ever had any pictures. I just went and mounted it, I'm not saying this is the correct way for everyone, but it works for me. Here are some pictures to help if anyone was thinking about doing it themselves.

I seen one mounted on firewall.. but not there before.

Helping is exactly what I am doing here. Why add extra work by running and crimping 4 gauge wire when a simple, proven option is on the market? You are essentially telling the OP he wired it wrong with your comment because he used an Expedition Essentials harness. How exactly is that helpful here in the post? But what do I know, I only worked for ARB for 17+ years.

Wow you're so cool.

That’s awesome you fit the hole thing up there and only had to drill 2 wholes!
