ARB COMPRESSOR INSTALL

[Wayne RSA]

Found a great place to install ARB compressor.....thought I should share with you all.

That looks sweet! It’s almost like that spot was designed specifically for the ARB compressor.

Thanks for sharing!

Great install. I just went to lowes and bought a bunch of parts for my own install but i was going to go onto the frame near the muffler. How did you mount it?

Hi Xexar
I welded up a custom bracket that I made from steel...I then coated it with bin liner black....used one mounting point on brake booster and other side into body of raptor....really came out beautifully.

Sweet! Which ARB unit are you using?

I appreciate that Wayne. I did a quick dry fit in the space where you have it and it gets pretty tight. I'm thinking i'm going to move forward with the frame mount and super-strut. I'll hopefully have pictures to post in a couple of days. One other question. I'm going to wire this into an up-fitter switch which there is a ton of talk on here. But which ground point did you use?

Very nice install. But I do have two issues with it. One is engine heat, compressors heat up fast and engine heat is a problem. You can help by opening your hood when you air up. Second, the single ARB is a little light for 35" tires. It will do it, but if your really air down it will take a while to air up. I prefer the twin for the Raptor, and use the single on my RZR. Just my 2 cents. Again, very nice install.

Agree and disagree…

Agree that heat can be an issue - those ARBs get HOT, and that slows them down. I've got the portable ARB toolbox version and after I've inflated 4 tires, I have to use gloves to disconnect the air hose if I don't want third degree burns, and that's outside the engine bay.

Disagree slightly with the single pump being light for 35" tires. In AZ, it usually takes ~12-20 mins to air up my 35s from 12psi up to 38-40psi; 12-15 mins in winter/20 in summer - the heat really slows the pump's efficiency by the 4th tire (but then I don't wheel much in the AZ summer, either). Not sure how much faster a dual would work, but 12-15 mins is ok w/me.
