I used the search with every word combination I could think of and got everything but what I was looking for.
Where on the truck, have those who need a ARB air compresser mounted it?
I am looking at the inside passenger front fender. Less congested and on the same side as the hookup on the rear end.
Anyone put it inside the cab? Noisy? Not much room inside a half cab.
Thanks for any replies.

I run it on the driver fender left rear corner- keeps the air lines as short as possible and it is close to the firewall- it is a little loud though but it barely runs as all when in use to run the air lockers

I just used a Co2 bottle instead. It doesnt make any noise and mounts to my roll bar in the back.

Thanks for everyones knowledge and advise.
A couple more questions. Did you use rubberized holders or maybe half moon holders that capure the line? Did you run the line on the inside of the frame or outside, on the way back to the rear?
