I've been wanting to permentnaly mount an ARB air compressor in my Ford Bronco ever since I brought it home, but there just haven't been very many options out there. Finally I've found the perfect mounting solution using the Grimm Off-Road Ford Bronco ARB Twin Compressor Bracket (10387) that will mount the compress nice and tight inside the engine bay. Once installed this will allow me to have a permanent quick and easy way to inflate my tires after a fun day out on the trail.

9/16 wrench and 10mm socket? You DO have a dream garage! I’ve only heard of these places. Thanks for sharing. I saw you’ve already been advised about the flare fittings…

Completed this yesterday. Video was spot on with that longer carriage bolt. The phillips head plastic screw under the fender flare stripped out for me. Thanks for the video.

Don't own a Bronco but still watched and enjoyed the episode. Informative, step by step video for those wanting to install this mod. Thanks for reading those instructions and putting together a vid that makes them make sense!

after 10 months of waiting, i finally got my Bronco VIN! hopefully it's in my garage by Christmas time. I can't wait to experience it vs my Jeep offroad.

@pauldurayjr.3605 2 года назад

I got my VIN this past week too! Now I’m re-prioritizing my Bronco aftermarket purchase list and the compressor is (still) right at the top. Man, the stars really aligned for TrailRecon to drop this compressor install video. Perfect timing!

I mounted mine inside the rear hatch area. The underhood area is exposed to too much water. You have to either buy the remote filter kit and move them inside or risk getting water inside the filter. The air box for the truck is designed so you cant get water inside if you dont go too fast. Im waiting on my snorkel but have relocated my exhaust, the rear end and transmission vents. Still need to source a sealed alternator. We get lots of flooding in my area and i run trails that require river crossings. One trail is submerged to the hood all the way for almost a mile.

@SugarDad1 Год назад

Watched the whole video because of your pleasant disposition, even though I'm near certain that I would hire this install out due to my general lack of ability. Cheers!

@mikecon7634 2 года назад

Nice install. Maybe you could air one tire down to 13-15 psi (or whatever you deflate to off road) then air up to your street psi and see how long it takes.

@paulcook773 2 года назад

An air-up hint is having the ARB switch in the cab so when you're airing up, just look at the tire pressure monitoring page and turn off the ARB when it hits the right number. I use a SpeedFlate two-way air system so it's nice having all 4 tires equalized and the perfect pressure (nice for airing down too). My ARB is mounted in the same spot on my Bronco. Perfect spot! Great vid :-)

@vdub5818 2 года назад

Brad, For the filters, no need to replace them. Just pop the cap off the plastic housing and remove the brass or bronze, not sure exactly the material, filter media and wash it out. Then just let it dry and reinstall.

@AdamKalbasz 2 года назад

Excellent video. Like the mixup of content. Glad to have met you and Regina at Mountain Expo West.

@jacobk23 2 года назад

Why not hook it up to one of the Bronco’s pre-wired auxiliary switches? Was there not an option for that, or did you just think the switch being on the compressor would be more convenient?

@BadSquatch21 2 года назад

KR Off-Road had a mount for over year... actually was the first mount available for the ARB air compressor.

@Dennis-zr3fb 2 года назад

I love the way someone came up with that idea. I own a 2014 Prado, diesel of course 🤣 had it since new, catch can, water watch for the fuel, and a duel battery and there is no way you will get a compressor under the bonnet without someone with more brains than me does what they did for the Bronco.

@tedo1634 2 года назад

You can get brucket in Australia for fiting ARB twins compressor for 150 ser. Prado fit at rear left side also brucked for single ARB compressor under bonet from KAON.

Beat me to it. JIC fittings don’t need tape.

@AV8R_1 Год назад

@@buckswindle many people on here may not know this much about air fittings and parts. Myself included. I have always used PTFE tape on all hose fittings. Why do some need tape and others don’t?

@buckswindle Год назад

@@AV8R_1 Tapered threads (NPT BSP) rely on the interference fit of the threads to provide sealing. With these fittings you need tape or dope to lubricate the threads and prevent galling and to help seal any imperfections in the thread seal. Flared fittings (JIC etc.) rely on the contact between the two flared faces to provide the seal. The threads just provide clamping force and don’t provide any sealing. Straight threads (SAE etc.) will use an o-ring or washer to provide sealing.

Teflon tape is not needed on flare fittings. The sealing is on the flare not the threads.

@brunnie 2 года назад

Like you, I love tinkering in the garage whether it is working on the Xterra or building something to make overlanding a bit nicer. NOW... run down to the Ford dealer parts department and order a set of Bronco Raptor hood struts and get rid of that hood rod. Until next time... wrench and travel safe.

@TrailRecon, I just got my Badlands Sas 2.7 and I didn't hear you mention whether you had the V6, too. Does this mounting setup work for the larger V6? Also, you said you really preferred the Jeep, particularly after getting your 392, and I thought you guys got rid of the Bronco. Glad you still have it! ❤

Great job on the install video Brad! But can you please get those filters facing the same direction so the ARB is lined up? My OCD had me twitching. ;-)

@WaslonLopes 2 года назад

Nice stuff!

@jeepjeffy04 2 года назад

This may work out fine, but… Here’s my issues: 1) Mounting that to the computer is a TERRIBLE idea and will DEFINITELY void the warranty on the computer if it were to fail. 2/3) The intake being upright seems like a good way to get water in the compressor, same with the chuck. I’d try to find a silicone cap for the chuck and maybe put the plugs back in instead of the filters since it only takes a second to change them out. Other than that, seems pretty cool. I love my ARB Twin compressor. I don’t have a Bronco, but it’s nice to see stuff starting to hit the market for them!!!

@shanenorwell8580 2 года назад

Love the videos mate. Do you not really use power tanks now?

@drjkw 4 месяца назад

Knowing you don’t have the Bronco anymore…but did you have any issues with the ECU after you moved it? From vibration especially?

@CCHAWC717 2 года назад

Why are there so many comments recommending power tanks? They're bulky and would take up a decent amount of cargo space that you could be using for other things, compared to a compressor mounted in the engine bay. On top of the hassle of having to refill them.

@damienfrizzell9394 Год назад

Question: When I looked at the install instructions from ARB, it says that there is a non optional step when it comes to wiring the switch. This is what it says: "Locate an ignition/ACC power circuit, minimum 8 amps, using a multimeter. This circuit must only be live when the vehicle ignition key is in either the ‘ACC’ position or in the ‘ON’ position. Connect the red/yellow wire to this circuit using a method of your choice. " I did not see you do that in your video, I was wondering how you got it to work?

@armond9871 Год назад

Wonder if you can have this and the oil separator installed. This both us that same area

@DesertRox 2 года назад

Aren't you worried about shortening the life span of the pump by mounting it in a hot space?

@samwatts4309 2 года назад

Nice mounting bracket. Enjoy your videos. The only downside I can fore see, is having to open the hood, every time you need to inflate the tires. After a while, for me, anyway, would be frustrating. Keep the videos coming!!! 🐊😎🍻🤙

I’m not sure i would want to mount the brains of an electronically controlled machine, that could have me miles away from civilization, to be mounted to something that can vibrate. I don’t know what the frequency of the arb is, but given that a Janet Jackson song can crash a computer I wouldn’t risk it.

@lukewalker1116 2 года назад

The situation under the bronco hood is like looking a a bowl of spaghetti! All those plastic fitting hoses are going to be a nightmare after ten years. I'd hate to be the one dealing with brittle spaghetti when that crap starts to fail. Tape don't belong on those fittings flares are flares for that reason!!!!!!

@shadowj5639 2 года назад

The engine bay of the Bronco is a total disaster. It's like they let an AI design it.

@matth4069 2 года назад

Perfect solution is a power tank that you can take with whatever vehicle you're taking. Those ARB compressors are overpriced and underbuilt IMHO. Plus they're slow.
