I mounted an ARB compressor to the rear cross member on a small mount I fabircated in the drivers side rear wheel well, (It's protected by a lexan cover).

Cheers,

Tim

I've got a TJM comp that I'm going to mount (I think) in the ute section of my crew cab, and try and pick up a second hand truck air tank to mount with it.
Tim, do you have pics of your whole set up? Or anyone else who may enter into this conversation.

Hi Chops, I'll take some pics tomorrow when there is a bit of light around.

Cheers,

I mounted mine in the engine bay, against the firewall, next to the heater matrix.

I've got the hi-flow ARB compressor under the drivers seat in my 200tdi Defender - heaps of room for it. About the only thing I would do different is to fit an extension to the outlet so it came out on the outside of the seat box (I currently have to take the seat off); and fit an extension to the air inlet as I've flooded it a couple of times in some decent water crossings
