Hey guys,
well, I've been putting off my gear/locker install for a long time and it is finally happening. I intended on installing my ARB Compressor today, but that never took off for 2 reasons..
1. Myself and a few fellow 1L's decided to grab a few (too many) brews after class.... (not really the issue..)
2. (real issue) I had originally been dead set on installing the ARB Compressor(larger unit, 2011 model, blue) in the engine bay somewhere along the fender wells as i've seen a few others do. However, when I came home and got into researching a bit, I began to see that there seems to be a real divide on whether or not to mount the compressors in the engine bay or in the interior of the jeep. The engine bay was originally appealing simply because it seemed like the natural spot for it.
I do appreciate the concerns for heat and moisture however... Heat was my primary concern, as we are all well aware, our jeeps have pretty tight, warm engine compartments...
I would really like to hear what other people's input seems to be.
I would also really like to see some pictures of others' installs.
Install is a 98 Cherokee, and I did purchase the Air kit, etc... A pancake tank may also be in the near future....
I found a few threads, but not many producing a lot of pics... here are a few though for others' interested...
