Smittybuilt 2781 5.65 CFM engine bay bracket

[khockey02]

Is anybody interested in one of these? I love this compressor and have been working on a design to shoehorn it into the engine bay. Everything fits, but it could use one more revision before I'd call it complete. If people are interested in this and we can put together a group order then I could get the price per unit down pretty low. Otherwise I'll just cut my current bracket to fit and call it a day. Let me know!

I can’t believe you got that thing to fit in there ?? Two JKs ago, I had the smaller version mounted in my engine bay. Then I needed more oomph for 37s so I bought that one. I could not believe how much bigger it was. Just wanted to say kuddos to you!

Looks like its right over the exhaust manifold. Has heat bothered it at all? My ARB is in the fender well which makes it a pain when something needs to be fixed. I like your location better.

I don’t have much time on it yet, but temps are probably my biggest concern with this location. It is right at the top of the engine bay and these compressors are known to run pretty warm.

It's like you keep reading my mind before I do. First the Squeeze and now this. I was just thinking if anyone has mounted one on their gladiator, and if so, how and where? I was also wondering about the location and heat. I was searching youtube and nothing, then thought I needed to check here too.

My next question would be then to how wire it up and turn it on and off without always having to lift the hood. I was just going to use Anderson connectors from the battery to the outside, but if it's already attached to the vehicle...
