Onboard Air Install

[06PullUouT]

I have had an ARB air compressor sitting in my garage for the past 4 months so I finally got some time to start the install.



The vehicle: 2006 Hummer H3 (slowly turning it into an overland vehicle)

I chose to put the compressor in the rear door recess.





I started by creating the brackets that will hold the compressor to the door. I used .45 aluminum strips and used my brake to bend the metal.





Time to fit up the brackets.





I used #6 bolts and heavy duty rubber washers to reduce vibrations.





Ran out of time today so I will do all the wiring and painting tomorrow. I plan on running the hose to an onboard 2.5 gal tank mounted under the truck.

Nice work. Make sure it's vented well to dissipate any heat build-up.

Awesome! That's a cool little metal brake you have there as well.

That is so awesome!!! I've always wanted to put a compressor there. I'm definitely interested in seeing how this works out...

Agreed! I mounted mine outside for that very reason. Run the intake tube beind the trim above the right rear tail light.

I like the mounts in the door. One day I need to remove the jack and make an organizer in the rear door.
