Looks like the inner liner(sound proofing or whatever it is) will need to be modified/removed to fit the onboard air compressor.

That electronic unit is moved up to accommodate the compressor from what has been posted on the ARB Bronco thread

I saw that. What I didn’t know was that the sound proofing/fender liner had to be removed.

It does? ARB said that was the only adjustment I thought. Would make no sense to lose wheel well space

If you look at my pic, you can see sound proofing/liner or whatever it is. I think all we saw on the ARB Bronco was a blue fender.

that should be sitting right on top and only mm(s) think maybe. Typically sound deading (if that is what it is) is glued directly to the body.
Hummmm, now I am really curious. Denver et s them Memorial weekend so I will look then

I pushed on it to see what it was and it flexed a tiny bit.

I watched the ARB videos again and you can not tell if anything is underneath the compressor.

I have my arb compressor and I have a viewing on Friday. I'll check to see what is going on as it should just be a movement of the ecu bracket.

Will that fit under the back seat? Is under the back seat a good place to put it?

No, the seats fold completely flat from what I had seen. Well, unless you don't fold them down ever I guess technically

I was kinda thinking the rear small storage area (not sure its size) but guessing it wouldn't be vented enough there

You can put it anywhere you want but will have to do additional wiring.

I’m an electrician by trade. Wiring is not an issue.

To be honest I'll probably rip that shit out anyways. Looks like a good way to keep heat in your engine bay and that's not what I'm going for.
