ARB Air Compressor for Air Locker & Tire Inflation (http://www.northridge4x4.ca/proddetail.php?prod=ARB-RDCKA&cat=109)
and this:
ARB Air Compressor Pump Kit (http://www.northridge4x4.ca/proddetail.php?prod=ARB-RDCKA-PK&cat=109)

Quite happy with both, though I did pick up a longer hose from Princess Auto (supposed to be good to -40 deg C).

Yup and Stan has a custom bracket that mounts to the bolts of your master cylinder for a great mounting platform for the ARB

My bad I thought it was a JK

In the case of the TJ I think you can mount it directly on the drivers side fender well ( heavy on the I think part) as there is a nice open space for it there.

So you're saying he'll want to mount it the same way that you did?

Nope - I'm just saying that Bryan drives a TJ :P

But, since you brought it up ;D, I mounted mine on the driver's side fender (as was mentioned before). It's convenient there, and seems to be out of the way. If I had to do it again, I'd really consider seeing if someone could fab up a bracket and mount it off the firewall, or some other place under the hood (quite honestly, if I'd have found a bracket available for TJs that would mount to the brake master cylinder/booster like the JK bracket mentioned, I'd have used it).

Post by: AstraX on January 31, 2011, 10:58:41 AM: Just ordered up an ARB today! Call Stan at Northridge, he has them in stock...ordered it today, he said I will have it tomorrow.

The bracket for JK's are pretty slick, I am surprised there isn't something similar out there for the TJ...

Are you really so eager to share a bit of tech and or info that you will do so when the person asking shows no respect what so ever for common board etiquette?

Post by: AstraX on February 01, 2011, 11:16:57 AM: Well I don't have much tech knowledge when it comes to cars/offroading...so I just pitch in where I can. :-\
