[QUOTE="Adrenlin, post: 1799258, member: 51757"] [FONT=Calibri]I just installed an ARB Twin Air Compressor into the bed of my 2022 Raptor. As this will be used to reinflate tires, I'm using just the twin compressor unit and didn't opt for the optional external tank. This is the walkthrough of my installation. Since I can only add 5 photos to a post, I'll be splitting this walkthrough up. Here's what I ordered. Builtright Bedside Rack System 4 Panel Kit F-150/Raptor 2021+ ARB Twin Compressor (ARB CKMTA12) ARB Pump Up Kit (ARB 171302) ARB Tire Pressure Inflator/Deflator (ARB 605A) Even though I ordered, and installed, all four Builtright panels, only one of the panels for the front side of the bed was used for the compressor. So that's all you really need to mount the compressor. The two front panels are the same, regardless of the side of the truck. The bigger rear panels near the tailgate are specific to the left and right sides, in the event you want them as well. The first steps are to attach the compressor mounting plate. There are 8 stainless steel hex head bolts that hold the compressor to the bracket. Remove the bolts and separate the bracket from the compressor so you can attach the bracket to the Builtright panel. I used the supplied hardware with the ARB kit, but added couple of large washers on the backside of Builtright panel since their bolts screw into the mounting plate. I just used some spare washers I had lying around. The exact size doesn’t matter, you just need something that is large enough that you can't pull them through the Builtright panel. Even though there are eight bolt holes on the bracket, only four of them will line up with the Builtright panel. ARB only supplies four bolts anyway. I also took the time to drill a couple of holes into the mounting plate to access the lower bolts that attach the Builtright panel to the bed using the Ford BoxLink system. Otherwise you can't secure the Builtright panel with the ARB bracket in the way. See Figure 1. The next step was to reattach the compressor to the bracket. I found it easier to remove the compressor cover to replace the two stainless steel inside bolts for the lower side of the compressor. See Figure 2. These are some of the bolts that were removed when the bracket and the compressor were separated earlier. I didn't use the two upper middle bolts, as I simply couldn't access them with the bed cover rails in the way. Six out of eight bolts should easily suffice to hold the compressor to the mounting plate though. Once the compressor is mounted, reinstall the compressor cover , and thread on the air filters. I also used this time to go ahead and screw in the air hose fitting. You can use a relocation kit, but I chose to mount this straight onto the compressor. See Figure 3 and Figure 4.
