Anyone see an issue with mounting an ARB single compressor in the dash in front on the HVAC recirculation vent? I'm in a 2015 JK and it will run 2 lockers up air up. I don't like the under seat mount because I've had the floors filled with water and couple times crossing streams and deep Georgia mudholes. I couldn't find searching where someone has tried a dash mount in a 2012+ JK.

 

Kind of slick but what about the underhood option? I can't tell from the pic so can't see the solenoids but I'm sure it'd be a PITA to run the lines and wiring. Especially if you get beefier braided locker lines.

 

I'm worried about the elements and mud under the hood. I think I have figured out how to run all the lines. My biggest problem is figuring out how to bolt it down.

 

It may take bending up some metal to make a bracket to get it to work, also it does get hot so you'll want to keep wires away.

I mounted my ARB compressor behind the passenger side taillight. Works awesome, out of the elements, and isn't as loud as being in the cab.

Wouldn't it be easier to mount the compressor in a more traditional spot and then run a remote air inlet? Maybe run the air inlet to the vehicle air intake box, snorkel, or thru the fire wall to the glove box?

 

I gave up on the dash idea a few hours ago. I would have to take too much of the dash apart to get it mounted or at least make a bracket. I decided to go with under the drivers seat. My plan is to mount it to the floor on a 3/8" thick rubber spacer. It still keeps it cool and away from the mud.
