heres the bracket i made to mount the arb compressor uner my hood. It fits nicely on the fender next to the ruise control. AS you all know there isnt much room under a 3rd gen hood for the compressor, i was able to keep everything in the factory location.


I will get pics of it in place in the next day or 2

 

looks good! lets see some pics of it installed

 

A few years ago I did the same thing.

cool, yeah it toom me few monutes of starring at it to figureout the design to make it fit in there, but it works really well. Steve, is your compressor really loud. Mine is, it vibrates everything, i think i might put something between the bracket and the fender to absorb some of it.
Also remember you have a 4cyl, i have a V6, also my cruise control is on that fender as well.

 

Yes my compressor is loud and does vibrate. It does not run that long though, less than a minute and then the charge is good for 3-4 front locker engagements.

I do have the ABS box but I didn't have the crusie control thing, so I did have a bit more room, but my Warn Winch box sits where the cruise goes so maybe we had the same ammount of space then.

 

Gotta love that annoying BRRRRRRRRRR sound that the compressor makes. One of these days I'm going to add rubber mounts to see if it makes any difference.

 

but that sound means traction. Its fun to hit the compressor switch while sitting in traffic or at a light, people jump and look at you like your crazy cause the truck makes funny noises.

 

I tossed my POS arb compressor (granted, mine was the older/better vesion) long ago, run everything off my OBA...
