- Overview of how I decided to install my on board air. I went with the ARB twin compressor using the ARB underseat mount.

Part numbers for fittings needed:
ARB0740201 = 0.3 meter braided hose
ARB0740101 = 1/4 NPT(m)/JIC-04(m) adapter (2 pack)
ARB0740104 = JIC-04(m)/JIC-04(f) elbow (2 pack)
ARB0740113 = hose coupling dust cap
ARB0740111 = hose coupling JIC-4 - Авто та транспорт
Plan on doing the same mount and location. Looks great by the way. Does the mount kit include everything you need or was there more needed?
You will need to purchase a few fittings separately in order to route the hose from the compressor manifold at the correct angle. You can find more info about the fittings and hoses needed on JL Wrangler Forums.
Great video. I plan on installing the same thing when my Jeep comes in. Can you share what you all ordered from ARB? I like that mount protection from the passengers in the back seat. Is this a complete kit or did you have to buy extra items to complete this install?
Click on the description and scroll down, I’ve included all the part numbers you will need to order in addition to utilize this exact setup. Should be able to find on Northridge4x4 or eBay.
Did you have to extend the wire harness the arb came with? I’m planning on ditching the spider web loom and keeping the purple wire, and wires for lockers while installed under either seat and fishing wires through the firewall. Ideally under the driver side.
I went ahead and bought some 10-gauge wire and heat wraps just in case I will let you know. Edit: Hell, yes you have too it's too short when you run it under the jeep.
Thanks for the video. What are the molle bags you have mounted on your rear cage?
XG Cargo. I have a video on them as well. I love them! ua-cam.com/video/zbGq5vvF_n4/v-deo.html
which wheels is that ? and what size ?
thanks for the video
Hi,when I looked up this part is shows a silver air canister that is mounted under the Jeep. Did you have to use this or can you fill directly from the dual air compressor? Thanks for sharing the video. cheers
Sorry for the super late reply. Just now seeing this. The canister thing is the manifold. If you are just using to air up you do not need the manifold. If you plan on running air lockers, you will need the manifold to run the lockers.
what about the pressure ? do you need to release the pressure manually every single time after starting the compressor ?
Those tan seats look pretty awesome on the sting gray.... not a common combo
Thanks! I didn’t care for the tan leather they had in the 18 to 19s but for 2020 they went with a Saddle brown thats a bit darker. I love how they turned out
@krazyk86cu Great video, thank you!
I know it has been a while since you posted, but I'm trying to install the same setup on my JLU and I am curious how you were able to get the wires through the Passenger side firewall grommet? I'm assuming you had to remove the ARB Connector or the 2 large ARB fuses? How do you remove and then re-attach the ARB Connector or 2 large ARB fuses in order to get the wires through the grommet?
I’m going to be honest. Getting the harness through that grommet was the absolute biggest pain in the ass I have ever dealt with. If you are going to go through that grommet, make sure you pull out the battery and fuse box. It will help with access. I failed to do that with my install and it took hours with my body half way shoved into the wheel well.
Rather than removing the fuses and pushing from the inside to the engine bay, I taped up the connectors and pushed them from the engine bay to the interior. I didn’t want to cut the fuses off and re-attach but that would likely be easier than the way I did it.
@@krazyk86cu Thank you so much Bro !!!
I am installing today the ARB compressor underneath the seat. This video is worth in gold for me 👍🏻I have quick question, hoping to get the answer quickly and hope others will find it useful, too.
When you are talking about using the passenger side firewall grommet, is that the big grommet with main wiring going already through and you just add the compressor wires, or there is a SECOND grommet somewhere, same as the "blank" grommet on the drivers side? I chose to go your way (no fuse box removal), so I want to know what grommet I need to find...
@@alopandur so it’s going to be the big grommet that is already in use. Have a look at this forum post I’m going to link and scroll until you see a picture of the grommet. The OP specifically advises against using the passenger side grommet, but they made their own hole in the side of the grommet. What I did was use that nipple looking piece and cut the end off of it. That way, you aren’t really in any danger of snagging the preexisting wiring. It’s a HUGE pain in the ass though, so be ready lol.

You are the KING Kevin !!! 👑👑👑
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, for both your advice and speedy reply, and especially for the link which gave me the much needed info about built in tube in that grommet and the manual clutch unused hole (for us with the automatic JLs)
Cheers, Nash
@@alopandur glad I could help!
Hello,
quick question. Under the seat there is also a vent for heating, what did you do with that? Thank you.
You just trim the vent with a utility knife. With this setup, the vent will just end up blowing on the compressor. The kit comes with instructions on where to cut it. On the JL forums I saw one guy who cut the flare off of it, removed a section and then reattached the flare lol
@@krazyk86cu many thanks. I am still waiting for my kit....
Great video! Do you have any pics of the ignition wire you tapped into? What was the color? I'm looking to follow your same install process. Do you have a list of everything you purchased? Thanks!
Let me do some digging and I’ll post it up in the description. I’ll let you know here when it’s up.
@@krazyk86cu Thank you!
Did your Jeep come with the Aux switches? If so, the ignition wire will be taped up with the aux wires in the passenger footwell. If you do not have the factory aux package, there will not be one there to tap.
@@jimblaha6763 updated the description with pet numbers for the fittings
@@krazyk86cu my Jeep didn’t come with the aux switches however I bought the mopar kit and installed them. What wire did you tap into? Thank you for your help and replies!
Can you include links to the installation video you speak of and also a link to the specific kit and bracket you have installed. Thank you!
Just updated the description with each of those links. The ARB underseat mount can be found on several sites, but I ended up posting one from Northridge4x4. Its prob on Quadratec as well.
Im installing my arb twin compressor in Jeep JL Rubicon under the seat and was wondering if you had to trim the air duct under the seat. I'm running into problems where the air duct is in the way of the bracket. Thanks for any information on how you installed yours.
Yes, you will need to trim the air duct. Assuming you are using the ARB mount, it specifies in the instructions to cut the duct. I just used a Dremel
Thanks so much for this information, this helps alot. I will go back and reread the instructions I missed this the first time.
@@marcosmalacara4377 no problem! Glad to help.
I just used a razor to cut through the duct - it's super easy!
How loud is the system for your occupants if the top and the doors are on?
It's not deafening. It would be annoying but not any louder than how loud most people listen to their music. I'll upload a video of it. Just keep an eye out for the video.
Thanks for the update...
No louder than having to air up anyway outside or otherwise. Airing up involves a compressor they are going to hear it.
what color wire did you tap into for the dome light?
The yellow/purple wire on the footwell light is the one connected to the dome lights
Getting ready to install mine. This part or these two wires confuse me. The provided harness has so many fame wires! Lol. Where is the ignition wire you tapped into? I’m wanted to do the exact same.
What mount is that? Did it include the kick plate so people in the rear don’t hit it? I like that feature
It is the ARB underseat mount. Yes, the plate is included in the kit. It is solid and protects the compressor very well.
He clearly answered all of that in the first couple minutes of the video
@@Cornpone thank you for your useless comment 👍🏻
What are those awesome foot pegs??
They are the Steinjager pegs. You can get them on Quadratec/Extreme Terrain pretty cheap
Did the same, and currently facing overheating issues and the fuse keeps blowing
Turn your car on and set your AC to foot and it will blow cold ac air from the duct right under the driver see and should cool your compressor
Aux 1 and Aux 2 are both 40 amp and the leads are under the hood and behind the glove box. You didn't need to wire anything under the hood.
