Where have you mounted your air compressor?

Post by poss682 »

I have a ARB style Compressor that needs to be mounted in my Nissan Terrano and the engine bay is rather full with duel battery's ect, I was just wondering where others have mounded there compressors.

Tires are like boobs, they always look big until you have played with them for a while, then you just want a bigger set.

yea that's where I was thinking there is an old c.d stacker in behind the seat I was going to rip it out so it could go there, how noisy is it ? do you have any sound deadening on it or have you boxed it in ?

Mine is mounted in the rear on top of the wheel arch on passengers side .... is a long way from battery so have run 16mm cable to it so don't get much voltage drop.... but mine draws up to 80amps.

Wherever you put it be aware they can get very hot, you don't want to be setting your truck on fire when inflating your tyres.
