Ugh! I have amps under each seat. I'll checkout the mount though, might be able to mount it in the back too. Thanks for the suggestion.

Here is my system done in December 2012...I have since added a second ARB compressor head to get additional air output as well as the solenoids for the Air lockers.

Much appreciated JKred!
No problem.

I forgot to add when extending the wires make sure you step up the wire gage to accommodate the increase in length or you will lose pump motor performance.

Nice, did you have to cut out the cubby hole at all?

Yes the box had to be re-built, however in the stock cubby hole you can fit a ARB twin.

Thanks for all of the responses and great insights. Doing some more research and I wanted to share with you a product I found:


Seems to be a pretty straight forward idea, I just do not know what the specs are.

I have an email into the website and just waiting for a response. Here is what I asked them:

1) Where does this product go? Is this a replacement for the storage area found in the rear cargo area? (The bump under the mat?)
2) What are the dimensions of the product? (general width, height, depth)
3) How much additional storage do you gain compared to stock
4) How involved is the installation? Is it just some sheet metal cutting? Do you have to relocate any other components? (exhaust, electrical, brake lines, etc)

I will let you all know what I hear.

I believe you have to relocate the muffler with that enlarged cubby. Not positive though. It will be interesting to see what they say.
