While I wait for delivery, I am picking up accessories here and there and was curious if anyone has mounted an on board air compressor and if so, what model and where? Also, open for any recommendations if you have them.

Viair 400P (portable). I know it's not as cool as a hard mount, but having a portable compressor is more practical.

That seems to be the general consensus with people I’ve talked to. Have you seen or heard where anyone has mounted it on a Bronco?

The onboard ARB compressors are traditionally installed to run ARB air lockers. Tire inflation was a side benefit and not typically the solo reason for onboard air, although some do it with plumbing and quick disconnects as a project.

Many prefer portables to keep it simple and scalable.

I know @DRWright has the ARB Twin compressor and is waiting for his bronco to install it on. I have the compressor also. I am still waiting for build date.

Yeah it took me 4 months to get mine from 4WP. It looks like these may not become more available for a while.

I have a Virair on-board system with a 3 gallon air tank. I have another 2.5gal tank I'm going to add to it.

The compressor is for 35" tires, I'm sure it will handle 37s no problem, just take a bit longer.

Recently saw an ARB compressor installed under the Bronco driver's seat, but I don't think I'll be doing that. We recently installed an ARB in the back of our Wrangler - hope a similar spot is available when my Bronco arrives.
