Question 1

how loud is the unit? Is is too loud to mount in the cab area?

Accepted Answer

Here is a video I uploaded onto youtube. The compressor is mounted to a piece of 3/4" partical board (I still need to carpet it), which is mounted to some 1"x1"x1/8" angle steel, which I sandwich clamped onto my Garvin Wilderness interior rack in my 2015 Xterra which the legs were wrapped with a few wraps of "F4" or "self fusing tape" as found here on Amazon. The prevents damaging the finish on the legs, and provides another layer of vibration and noise dampening. Please note, I did not rehearse the recording so I say a few mistakes here or there, but you will get the point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVDWN7hc_Fk

Question 2

Does the Air Compressor contains the mounting clamp, backing plate, pressure switch, wire loom and all the mounting hardware? or just the compressor?

Accepted Answer

I cannot believe Amazon and ARB have not jumped on the fact that they do NOT list "what's in the box"!  Shame on Amazon!Check the ARB website.It does indeed come with all you listed above except I am not sure if it has the mounting clamp or backing plate.  I bought mine as a replacement for the same unit after 7 years of service.  I did not need anything except the compressor.  Good luck.

Question 3

Simple question: Can you run front and rear lockers with this compressor?

Accepted Answer

Yes you should be able to run both front and rear air lockers off this compressor. As well as air up tires!Thanks

Question 4

Will this fit and work mounted in the storage pocket under rear srorage on a 2 door 2008 jeep wrangler

Accepted Answer

i don't know, sorry!
Most of the people install it under the hood of the engine, I have also seen it installed under the car near the gas tank, it is really small and you can place it anywhere since you control it from your cabin by a swich.
if you are going to use it only to inflate the rubbers, it is fine anywhere, but if it is for use with blockers I recommend you under the engine hood.
