You can loosen the 2 allen heads in the blue barre to slide the compressor up. It’s easier to reach the top middle mount bolt with the compressor slide down. After that I pushed it all the way up and tightened the Allen bolts to create as much separation between body/frame.

Unless it's somehow absolutely necessary to make a note about "other forums", I'd be grateful if you could just leave that bit of info out. I think you can still be of significant help to others without it. As far as Spod goes, there's no need to apologize for anything. I just wanted to make a note of it so that others who aren't aware of what transpired here will be informed of it. Nothing needs to be edited.
With all that said, I appreciate your understanding.

I really like it being plumbed up front for hose access, not having to open the hood to access my compressor would be cool. The only thing I'd be worried about is getting debris in the fitting for the hose.
Any concerns?

Good catch on the coupler being open and exposed to debris. Actually I ordered a cover to go over the coupler. I'll post up info when I know it fits properly. ARB actually makes a cover specifically for the coupler but good luck finding one. Lol

Good to know. Thanks
WooHoo!! Awesome :thumb:
Glad to see everything installed without any issues and I love where you installed your remote chuck. The wiring shielding is a great idea too. Thanks for posting this up :yup:
Hmmm, I've been running mine for a while now and haven't found it to be a problem or at least, not as of yet.
You'll have to let me know what you found for it

If anyone is concerned about debris in the fitting, you could get the male air fitting that fits in, same as the hose, and thread a cap on it then leave it plugged in.
When you are ready to use it, pull that plug and the fitting will be clean and ready.

That's a great option
Could you elaborate on single vs twin in this space? Did you take measurements or what stood out as likely deal breakers? Maybe the twin is just that much larger or maybe it wouldn't leave any room to fasten the mount?
Umm, the twin is a much bigger compressor and there's no way you could mount it up the way I have the single mounted to the firewall. Not say there isn't a way to make it work in this space but it would require a different mounting system.

I have seen the twin mounted in a similar fashion with a custom bracket but I’d be cautious of how close the twin gets to the CAT on that side. The single likely stays far enough away from it that it isn’t an issue but the twin has a much larger footprint.

Well I finally installed my ACM mount and compressor! It works great! Thanks for this mount I really didn’t want it inside the Jeep. I guess I was also too excited to take a picture of it wired. [emoji51]

Looks good. I think this is my next mod. Did you wire it to the ARB switch or did you use the OEM Aux switches?

I wired it to the OEM Aux switches. It was very easy once I figured out what each wire was for.
