ARB Twin Owners: Where did you mount?

I only have a single, but went passenger side with 4x4 Labs mount...very well done. Save the driver side for electrical.

Mine is on the driver side (Slee Offroad mount). I would highly recommend putting it on the passenger side. There is very little room for me to work with. I got the manifold for adding a locker, and the manifold won't fit in the current positioning.

Tons more room on the passenger side.

It is super tight, but does fit. There are spacers that should be included in the kit to clearance the bracket away from the fender, allowing room for the hood strut to fold down.

That said, I mounted my manifold upside down accidentally, but it still fits with two locker solenoids hooked up and the air hose attachment for filling tires.

My buddy runs the Slee mount with the manifold mounted along the side of the inner fender and it’s pretty clean, I think that was Stellarbuilt’s idea.

I couldn’t run the compressor on the passenger side cause I have a dual battery with smog pump relocation and aftermarket washer reservoir over there.
 
I have mine mounted on a Slee tray on the drivers side and while easy to install, I wish I had gone passenger side.
The driver side placement just gets SUPER hot when inflating as half the compressor is hanging over the engine and getting blasted with heat.
The heat can transfer to the inflation hose and cause a failure. When it happened to me I was lucky to have trail buddies to inflate my tires.

I solved it by adding 1.5 M extra braded hose down the side near the fuse box to dissipate the heat some before ending at the hose coupling.
 
Even the small air tank helps to run it cooler. I've 0.5 gal seamless bottle under mine.
