Smittybilt compressor on board air
Has anyone successfully mounted a smittybilt 2781 compressor on board under your hood? Any insight would be great. If so are there any mounting brackets available? I haven’t been able to find anything on this. Thanks

The underhood locations depend on what year you have, there was a delta in I believe 2012 with the addition of the secondary air pump. Did you search? I searched “5th Gen on board air” and came up with a ton of hits for the different brackets available.

I have a 2018 and it seems like the only place would be in the top left where people usually mount the viair 400 compressors however the smittybilt one I think is too big. 😬 thanks for the replies though. I’ll check out the bandi Mount

I have done similar setup already for the Viair 400p. I use my standard ARB twin compressor mount and add some bolt on brackets to allow for the compressor of your choosing, which in the future, you could go to the ARB.... plus this allows for the optional tank and/ormanifolds too....

OP, please post up what you decide to do when you install it. I'm interested to see what you do.
Will you be adding a pressure switch to your 2781?
I installed a flow-through euro-style (clip on) chuck this year, and it's been great. I keep the compressor running the entire time I do 4 or 8 tires. It's as hot as a cannon when I'm through though.... which makes it a pain to load back in that tiny bag. So it has moved to a larger duffel bag, which takes up even more space in the back.

Does this setup allow installation of a small tank under the bracket?

Yep, either a ARB or Viair 1 gallon (similar to below).

Yeah I’m going to rig it up at work with a pressure switch probably and also switch out all the fittings on the smitty because it comes with those lame ones anyway so I’ll make it more universal that way

I've been looking to switch out the forms as well. Do you have a lead on what you're looking at?

I mounted mine under the hood. It works great. I made a bracket that attached in 3 places. I used 2 existing screw holes and added a rivnut. It was still shaking around a bit so I later added an aluminum brace that attached to the top of the compressor and it’s been solid. the air connection comes out in the passenger wheel well.

That is a monster !.... Maybe I was thingin' the smittybuilt 2780 would fit and not the 2781'...
Can anyone provided actual dimensions a (see sheet below)? I ask that as the net' listed 16.1", however image Dontkicktrees' posted shows it in an area that's has only 15" total clearance and it has a little room to spare even.
Thank You,
Leroy (bandI)
