Hi
I have a 200series GXL TD landcruiser
Has anyone got this compressor ( ARB CKMA12, compressor kit medium air locker 12) mounted under their bonnet. Is under the bonnet a good location for a compressor? If so where did you mount it? & are you happy with its performance?
ARB have suggested that I mount it between the air filter & fire wall & run a air line out to the front to the bull bar where I can attach an air line. A switch for operation would be on a switch blank on the dash.
I would appreciate any replies
Thanks
Cole

i just paid the extra and put the compressor in the rear cargo area with my storage system. the compressor is out of the elements and being in the back i have no need for extra hose to reach the camper trailer.
they'll want to charge you extra to run the hose to the bullbar anyway, aswell as if you have a camper you'll need extra hose to reach that or as said run another line to the rear of the vehicle, so i just mounted
mine in the rear and saved the hassle.

One of our sons had his inside and the boss refused to go again until he got it out of the car. Too much noise. It's under the bonnet now. Either that or don't use the lockers.
