I am going to get a rear set for the Prado but have some space problems in the engine bay.
ARB has proposed to install the compressor under the front passenger
seat.
Would like to hear from anybody who has in fact installed the compressor in the cabin and what noise level i might have to face and if there is any smell etc.
Appreciate any advise.

Hi
We used to have a 90s Prado with a ARB locker on the back and the compressor was located under the passengers
seat.
Never had any problem with smell
Noise was OK, it only came on very briefly when using the rear locker, otherwise it was used to pump up the tyres.
No vibration problem either
If we had to have it under the
seat again - wouldn't care less as it was no problem before - now we have a LC105 with plenty of room under the hood.
hope this helps
Andrew

I had the ARB compressor under the front passenger
seat in my GQ and it was never a problem to me or my passengers.
When I had one installed in the GU it was put under the bonnet and I had probs with it overheating. Moved it inside under the passenger
seat again and it is all good.
Also with it under the passenger
seat I can easily reach all tyres including the trailer with the standard ARB air hose. (Not that I use the ARB one I have a
home made jobbie that is much nicer.)
