headhunter Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I have a standard (the larger one) ARB Compressor to mount on my 110 CSW, to operate front and rear lockers. Where is the best mounting location? Is it best inside or outside the vehicle? There is room in the under drivers seat battery box but will it get too hot in there without free air access? Does it need to be in a waterproof location? Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Did you try here: you may find a post with photos of Tony's/Nige's setup. In the cab is the best IMHO,bit noisy but acceptable. Mine is located behind the cubby box as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B reg 90 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I fitted mine behind the passenger seat. In theory you are going to be in water up to your arse before it drowns. As long as the system is leak free (not to hard to achieve) I have not found it to be to noisey. Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 inside bolted to the left or right rear wheelbox behind the 2nd row seats or in one of the far rear corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 mines outside in a rear locker above the wheel arches. no problems to date! Having a truck cab internal space is a bit limited hence the decision to mount it outside. i would suggest behind the cubby box, engine bay or behind a seat if inside rather than the battery box. If you are running front and rear lockers you prob have a winch so may want to upgrade to twin batteries at some point and therefore require that space. Battery box also gets full of carp quiet easiliy + water! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrover598 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I've mounted my compressor for the ARB in the roof On the pasengers side, right at the rear corner of the hard top, in the radius of the roof line, It's fixed onto a bit of 12mm ply, and bolted to the underside of the gutter using 4 bolts. If it gets wet / muddy up there i'm in big trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveG Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 There is room in the under drivers seat battery box but will it get too hot in there without free air access?Does it need to be in a waterproof location? If it's being used just for lockers heat build up would not be a problem. You might want to fit a remote air filter on it though to make sure it gets enough air. Even if you plan to use it for tyres it does it heat up quite a bit so not sure in this case. It's not waterproof, just dust & moisture. The smaller dedicated unit is waterproof if fitted with a breather and remote filter. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Mine is between the cubby box and the rear tub bulkhead in what's usually dead space. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveG Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 No good on a 110 I would use the seat box or under mid row seats, unless you regularly fold them forward and use load space. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
