I have a JD Marz under hood compressor mount, but I have been moving my Viaair between my Bronco and F150. I don’t really like the bungie mounting method, so I decided to permanently mount something on the JD Marz mount https://broncoaccessoriesusa.com/ 1.
I have done some research and several different brands use the same basic compressor. I found the least expensive “reputable” reseller on Ebay and ordered one up. I will do a report once I have it mounted and operating. I figure I should use the least expensive option, as living under the hood seems like it will be a tough environment (John form JD Marz has done a lot of testing on these compressors and finds no negative effects from the under hood heat).I think the whole set up, including an inline fuse holder and 12v quick disconnect would be under $300. Full disclosure, John gave me the mount for testing and promotion if I liked it. I do, it is super solid and easy to install. I can replace 3 more compressors before I equal the price of the ARB. I have used this same compressor on rides in the past. It is very similar in capacity to the ARB, although I expect is not up to the same quality and duty cycle of ARB or similar compressors. Since I am not running lockers or any other accessories, it seems like a reasonable solution.
For more details, you can see the MIBC forums posts here (the owner of JDMarz added some comments about his test compressor and longevity as well.-
