[QUOTE="surfnsocal, post: 1248950, member: 24008"] I spent the last weekend installing an onboard ARB Air Compressor. Primary use is for camping (air matress) and airing back up after some offroad fun. I mounted it under vehicle (passenger side between the frame and outer body, adjacent to the muffler) in a place that was the least dirty (practically spotless) after my last trip. Rationale was this spot would be the most protected. I may add a plate or guard later on down the road. I ran an airhose along the top of the frame (secured by heavy duty zip ties until I find a better solution). I added a 4" steel nipple with a brass quick connect to the back and had it welded in place ($20 at my local muffler shop). Added a dust cap for good measure. Ran the wire harness (included) to uplifter switch 6. Pressure switch is included with the kit. I aired down to 20psi and it took just shy of 2 minutes to get to 40psi per tire (I run 38-40 on the street). I decided to not add a tank since I wont be running power tools, air horn, etc. Honestly, I'm not even sure where you could put an air tank under the body.

[ATTACH=full]280850[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]280851[/ATTACH] I mounted to the frame with 5" carriage bolts, with a vibration dampening pad on each side (between the compressor/frame and the back mounting plate/frame).
