The BEST Onboard-Air Compressor Mount for the 3rd gen Tacoma - Behind Grille Air Compressor Mount
Looking for the best location to mount your onboard-air? In our opinion, this is the best location and here's why. The air compressor will be away from other engine parts, it is in front of the engine, so it gets maximum air for cooling, and it doesn't occupy your secondary battery location.
This will only fit the 3rd gen Tacoma for the time being; we will also have a mount for the 2nd gen Tundra and 5th gen 4Runner.

Cool idea. Blocking the airflow to that radiator might not make it overheat necessarily, but it will cause a squared off hot spot to occur over time on the radiator. Used to see it where people would have their license plate mounted on their grill. The cores inside would get way to hot and fuse together, just in that section where air was restricted. Hence, higher probability of cracking/leaking and at the very least, being less efficient. Happy trails🤙
Exactly what I was looking for 5 months ago. So much space behind that grill.

What about washing the truck? Does it affect the compressor or its components?
Does the arb manifold come with the arb compressor?
Hopefully the truck doesn't over heat in the desert

There's plenty of airflow. We had had this setup on 2 trucks before this video and no overheating with all the trails and long drives in Moab last summer.
why not go dual battery up front right corner and compressor in rear?
I mounted mine on the Slee Offroad on the driver side. I plan on putting extra battery on passenger side on my 4R. In NY the winter snow melting salt would kill that thing fast.

Need install video please!!! Already purchased now just trying to make the install the correct way
Are you guys gonna make install video on this set up?
Do you have an installation video for this mount?
Can you make one for the single? I have my compressor mounted in the bed cubby with the expedition essentials bracket and it’s a terrible design. I’ll bet we could mount the compressor where you did and then re-route the compressor intake to behind the headlight so it avoids oncoming dust. Having the intake directly in front of the radiator is asking for problems when you drive behind someone on a dirt road.

Different, but in front of the radiator and directly exposed to water? Traveling in a good rain storm will soak it. How's it holding up? Checked the air filters lately?

@davidgriffith6627

Compressors like this are used to activate differential lockers. Differential lockers lock the left and right axles at each differential to greatly improve traction. One wheel doesn’t slip more than the other when lockers are engaged. The compressor is also used to add air back into the tyres after deflating them for better traction.
any idea if this would fit on the 2nd gen tacoma?

nice but in AZ that would not fly, in my 2019 Tacoma dealership had to install a fan right there to push more air through while idling. If not, the AC would stop blowing cold.
