ARB CMK Compressor/ Traxide setup

**b.anzellotti** · 25th September 2015, 11:01 AM

Hi all,
I have a 2010 Disco 4 HSE that is the 3.0, went to ARB today to look at fitting a compressor. They were wanting to mount in front of battery but i want to use that spot for the Traxide setup. I have seen some mounted on the drivers side but when we took the plastic cover off it seemed as though not enough room.

Any suggestions? I'd like to not mount inside car as just about everytime I left the beach and went to air up my Patrol one of the kids would be sleeping. Outside was ok and didn't wake the monsters. But not sure how noisy it would be for kids in car while airing up.

Also any thoughts on the trade kit. Like which one to get? Just would like to be able to run a fridge at beach and when I go on trips and maybe have the possibility of inverter mounted somewhere to charge laptop and such. Anybody have a good clean mounting location for outlet?

Thanks guys

O, and I have tried searching but either Safari for Mac is crazy or its my computer. Page just stays blank..

Traxide Kit. I think you want the D4-5S kit. This provides good power to the rear, both a 2nd cig plug outlet and an Anderson plug to the outside rear in with the trailer plugs.

This allows running a fridge and an inverter in the inside rear, plus option to charge from solar panel or connect to a camper as well (outside rear).

Add your own lead if you want the inverter mounted in the front. Under the passenger seat is an excellent spot unless you have factory accessories already mounted there.

For example, I ran my UHF power spliced from the supplied Traxide cable to rear, run back to the front where UHF mounts. Provides permanent power rather than accessory power.

Cheers,
Scott

Buy the D3 Traxide kit,the aux battery does fit in the factory location on the drivers side using a factory battery supplied with the kit,no drilling etc

.I have the D3 kit in mine,you can then fit the compressor next to the main battery.

And he will support you through the DIY install as required too.

Here's where the Traxide kit goes if you go the D4-5S option and put compressor on driver's side.

Because the Traxide kit wiring runs down the passenger side via the rear storage compartment, you have easy access to splice in an extra lead for inverter or UHF or whatever.

Btw, here's my thoughts on the whole setup and install process:

I'm still looking for reasons to go for a drive and it's been nearly a year now.
