Where to mount a twin ARB compressor

[Dana]

Hi, looking for advice on where to mount my Twin ARB compressor. I have seen them under the hood but has anyone had heat problems? Right now it is just for airing up but one day I would like an airtank and lockers. Inside the cabin could be quite loud? I thought about that little compartment where the jack goes but not sure if that's large enough. Anyway, any advice is welcome. Thanks

I've mounted several, single compressors under hoods. Heat doesn't seem to bother the ARB compressors, unlike the VIAIR I had under my hood. I mounted my double ARB compressor inside the passenger compartment on a bulkhead of a secure compartment. The compressor's not that loud, If you mounted it in the jack storage and add some sound deadening material. You will need to give the compressor room for air movement for cooling, Ron

Thanks, yeah I think if it fits the jack compartment is great. It does mean more wiring and who knows how to secure it back there. It's basically just the skin of the vehicle.
