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…

Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to put this video together.

I have neither a Bronco nor an ARB, but I thoroughly enjoyed this 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!

A trick for when you drop something that I've taught my kids. Listen to where it goes, then look. Works great

Great install video of the ARB compressor, excellent idea how it mounts using the ECU space... All comes together very clean👍🚙🇦🇺

I just order this kit a few hours before you posted this. Thanks for the video.

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!

This man is the Bob Ross of off road KZread. I love it

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.

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

Great video -- installing the ARB is on my list for my Bronco

Thanks Brand for this content, I have ordered mine...I've had my ARB Twin Air Compressor since the Overland West Expo...This is a good find...keep posting the great content.

Brad, got it installed...your step by step instillation process was excellent...used it on the trail...no problems...Thanks a bunch!!!

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.

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!

This video gave me “This Old House” vibes. In a good way of course!

Great video. Thank you for the step by step. Semper Fi

Glad to see more Bronco content. Now for the 5.0 swap lol!.

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.

Nice install.

I need that big time, now that I got my Bronco.

I’ve been eagerly awaiting for your Adventure/exploration videos. Cmon Brad time to go for next adventure. P.S. bring Marco with you 😀

Great video brad

This video was in no way applicable to me, but I still enjoyed it. Great Video!

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.

Great video. Loved the step by step, and the hints along the way. Will this set up work with either the 2.7L or 2.3L? Is there any difference in the twin compressor vs. single compressor.

Am I the only one screaming "Don't put tape on the flared fittings!"

@@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.

There is also a mount to hide it behind and underneath the spare tire.. it’s pretty cool

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

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.

Nice stuff!

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?

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 :-)

That satisfying click 😂

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

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.

I mounted a viair on my tacomas inner fender/engine wall by screwing a ushaped bracket for a 4x4 wood post

I just got my 2-door Wildtrak and was just wondering where I could put a compressor. ✌🏽😎

Yea brother!

@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! ❤

Thank you for the video! I just installed this on my 2023 wild trak and first time I used it it blew a fuse. Do you have any suggestions or have you had any issues with this?

Good video

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. ;-)

Nice setup, how is this mounted in your 392?

Hey Brad, where is your Bronco now? Did you sell it? If so, why? Thank you for all the great content!

Jeep guy through and through but I like that Bronco.

Wish one of these solutions was in a different location. Got an everglades on the way and that's where the snorkel comes in.

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.

Think how easy mounting one of these will be in a Bronco Lightning’s frunk! BTW, good haircut Sr Chief. Still in the Reserves? Either way, Semper Fi from another old corpsman. Happy camping and wheeling.

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

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

Would that rub against a larger cold air intake at all?

did that power button cable come that way?

Did you disconnect the battery before you started?

Good morning I was wondering if you could give me the information on the bear spray and where I can get it we are campers and would like to have some I tried to get it on Amazon they say they can’t send to California due to California laws we would also like the info for the gun u showed

Is there any advantage to the Grimm off-road over the KR mount?

Do you think you can put the napa compressor under the hood?

How do you keep the dirt out of the hose connector?

Wish someone would offer a bracket kit for this that didn't suffer from the Bronco tax...

nice

Hello! Been wanting to ask you for a long time if you still have the Gladiator roll up bed cover?! I would like to buy it from you! Thank you

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?

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

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!!! 🐊😎🍻🤙

Ok, what's up with the shirts? All red, all different states and motto?

This guy is trying to give me an aneurism with this Teflon tape.

Nobody thinks it's a bad idea to remount a computer to a vibrating box?

👍👍

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

Call me crazy... but wouldnt those carriage bolts goin in the other way so you wouldnt need a ratcheting wrench for assembly?

This has nothing to do with the compressor, but I was curious, did your bronco come with the liner under the hood? A lot of them that I have seen in other videos don’t have any liner.

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!!!

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.

Power Tank Brad. You know better.

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.

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!!!!!!

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.

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