Jeep JL Wrangler and JT Gladiator Truck ARB Air Compressor Mount for Under the Hood Installation ACM
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ม.ค. 2020
- One of the cheapest and easiest things you can do to help improve the ride quality and performance of your Jeep JL Wrangler or JT Gladiator Truck off road, is to let some air out of your tires. This is what a lot people refer to as, “airing down” and it’ll do wonders to help soften up your ride especially when driving on rough but easy terrain like desert mining trails and fire roads. It’ll also help give your tires a bigger footprint and that can make all the difference in things like soft sand and deep snow. Last but not least, it’ll maximize the amount of traction your tires have by allowing them to wrap around rocks and uneven obstacles.
Now, letting air out of your tires is the easy part. How to get air back in is the real question? And, this where a good air compressor like the ARB CKMA12 can come in handy. Sure, there are bigger air compressors you can get but honestly, I can’t say that I’ve ever felt the need for one, even with big 40” tires. Of course, the compact size of this CKMA12 makes it super easy to install under the hood especially if you have one of my air compressor mounts, the ACM. In this short video, you’ll get to see just how easy it is to get one installed.

COMPLETE INSTALLATION WRITE UP on WAYALIFE
bit.ly/2uliy6O
The WAYALIFE ACM is designed to work with an ARB CKMA12 Air Compressor, a 12V high output on board air compressor that I've used for years, on multiple Jeeps and have always found to work exceptionally well. Because of its compact size, it will allow you to mount it outside the cabin of your JL Wrangler or JT Gladiator and safely under the hood. Installed up against the firewall and under the brake booster, you can access the air chuck from behind the fender liner near the shock tower or you can run a hose extension to a chuck located remotely on your Jeep. Also, if you're wanting to run ARB air lockers on your factory axles or on something like a Dana UD60, Dynatrac ProRock or Currie Rock Jock, the ACM will help make plumbing air lines to the compressor super easy as well. Removal of the driver side fender to install everything will be necessary but otherwise, absolutely no drilling or cutting is required.
The ARB CKMA12 Air Compressor and all components needed to complete this install can be purchased through the Amazon links above.

Just installed ARB compressor with ACM Bracket. Purchased all the components via links on this video. Everything arrived exactly as described.
I have a 2021 JLUR with manual transmission. No clearance issues. No spacers required. Only installation issue encountered is we broke two plastic fender clips. Recommend you purchase some extras ahead of time.
Thanks Eddie for designing the bracket and putting together a clear easily understandable video supported by written instructions.
Awesome! So glad that you're happy with your ACM and that the install went well for you. Thank you for the nice review too 😎
@@wayalife I am curious if you broke the plastic fender clips too...
@@kodder Yes, a couple. I should have a link in the description for replacements.
Thank you for the simple straightforward layman-style communication and for not skipping steps. You are a great speaker and teacher. Thanks!
Truly flattered that you would say as much. Thank you. Glad to hear our video was helpful to you.
Almost makes me want to go buy a new JL so I can buy the bracket and mount my ARB compressor in that location! lol
That is a nice install, brilliant!
LOL - too funny. Glad you like what you see :)
Man, I really appreciate you. Super detailed instructions on every project you do. Having never done any mechanic work on a vehicle, you make me feel confident that I can do this because you don’t skip steps in your vids or apply any BS to cover up what you may not know. It’s clear that you know exactly what you’re doing which helps folks like me take the plunge. Thanks again. Happy to use your affiliate links. Jerry.
Truly flattered that you'd say as much and so happy to hear that our videos are helpful to you. 😎
Welcome to (it’s a Jeep thing)
Glad to see y’all back. Miss the videos you produce
Thank you and we apologize for being gone so long.
Perfect timing! I have a JT and was looking into adding some onboard air! Nice video!
Awesome! Glad we could be of help :)
Another great install video Eddie and Cindy. Keep up the great work! :)
Thank you, hope this is something that can help you out :)
Totally awesome and informative. I knew I liked Cindy and Eddie - awesome team with camera and videos. I want to let you know that you are appreciated and Thank You and please continue
Great explanatory video !! FYI - one thing an old timer taught me almost 30 years ago (now I'm an old timer lol), is to be careful cutting the ends off of the Zip Ties!! They look better and neater BUT, they are SHARP and can easily cut you. If it's in an area that no hands or arms will go, no problem BUT, if that sharp little cut end is exposed and in any area you may be tinkering with, maybe just loop the long ends around a few times and cover them with electrical tape. Thank you for what you do! 👍
perfect timing! have that same compressor in a bag in the back! time to buy your mount and the extension items and mount mine the same way! thanks for taking the time to make such a great howto !!
Awesome! So glad to hear we could be of help to you :)
Thank you for another lesson on Jeeps. Now I know how easy it is to take off a front fender. I am still going to tote around my compressor since I bought it just after buying the Jeep two years ago. It is interesting to watch your videos. Cindy must be recording since the angle of the shot changes constantly and keeps you and everything you want to show in the video. Great job Eddie and Cindy.
LOL - oh yeah, Cindy does pretty much all the filming and editing. I just get all the credit 😁
Now that’s what I call a great instructional video. Will be ordering the mount very soon!
Thank you and awesome :)
Another nice and clean job!!! The king of jobs that I love! Nice done! I will make a similar thing to my Renegade!
Just bought my first Jeep. I've been binging on your videos and really enjoy your content. keep it up!
Congratulations to you and thank you :)
Same!!! I really love the way you do your videos and support American products. Totally been binging your videos since I bought my gladiator!
Good seeing getting back in it hope you an Cindy had a great holiday an wishing you the best of the new year great video as always be safe
Steve Tabor thank you, we really do appreciate it 😎
I installed this mount and compressor a bit ago. I love it and it works great thank you!!
Awesome!! So glad to hear you're happy with yours :)
Love the step by step instructions you make it look easy never knew how easy it really is
Awesome :)
What a great video! You have everything thought out and applied so perfectly. That was one complaint people had, was not being able to fit a compressor under the hood. Love your workaround and innovation! Thank you 👍🏻
Thank you. We appreciate it :)
Just got the compressor and your mount Eddie! Going to install it on my new JL Rubicon nest week! Best place to have a compressor hands down!
Awesome and thank you 👍
One of the best install videos every. Simple even for a layman like myself. Thanks.
Awesome! So happy to hear you find our videos to be helpful.
Great video. One of the best how to diy videos I’ve seen so far!! So easy to follow!! Will be ordering soon!!
Thanks.
Thank you. Glad to hear we've been able to help you :)
Finally got around to doing the install using the kit I ordered and received months ago from you for my Gladiator! Other than not taking off the wheel (which you mentioned wasn't mandatory) I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly! took about 2 hours as I wanted things to remain tidy under the hood etc. ---- one thing to note for others looking at this kit plus items the ARB 1m 1/4 hose extension is no longer available on amazon (or more accurately the item shows none available! ) ---- Thanks again for such thorough instructions!
Awesome! Glad you were able to install your ACM, that it went well and that our video was able to help you out.
You may as well as claim me as a dependent lol I am definitely getting your mount and installing the onboard air compressor! I love watching your videos and customizing my Gladiator!
LOL - awesome :)
Just did this install. Thanks for the ACM and the video instructions. Pretty painless for an amateur wrencher like myself!
Awesome! So glad to hear it and glad that you're happy with your ACM!
Great video Eddie, always detailed to the max. Keep them coming.
Thank you. We always try our hardest to do our best :)
Great video. Covers the install steps well.
Thank you my friend :)
Great Video Eddie, I love the way Cindy films the unboxing of your parts. Its been a while.
LOL - sorry for being MIA. Wanted to spend time with the family over the holidays. Glad you enjoy our videos :)
Awsome install! Love how clean and simple it is.
Thank you.
Another top notch video production! Thanks for all you do for the community. Just replaced my tie rod and drag link with Synergy HD JT kit and Synergy track bar relocation/steering box kit after your last vid. Now it looks like I’ve another project. You’re killing me smalls!
LOL - glad to hear our videos have been able to help you out with the build of your Jeep :)
I finally installed my on board air today! Thanks Eddie for the great video! Few things I would recommend, buying extra fender clips (I salvaged half of mine after pulling it off), when installing the remote Chuck, install the 90 degree compression fitting first to avoid knuckle busting, and use aux 3 or 4 because those are only need 15 amps.
Glad you're happy with the ACM and glad the video was able to help you out. Great tips too!
I just saw a write-up quazi how-to for this mount last week - I do believe this is is now on my Need list... Just not THAT Air Supply... no one needs that EVER!! :-)
LOL - awesome and no, nobody ever needs that. :)
One of my favorite Jeep channels. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoy it!
Great video, Eddie and Cindy. I have ordered the parts, except for your back ordered mounting plate. You guys are inspirational!
Awesome and I apologize for not having these available for sale right now. I'm on the road right now and unable to ship anything so I pulled everything out of stock. I should be shipping by mid week again though :)
Sir! You're making me spend way too much money on my JLU Moab with these videos! Lol Keep up the good work!
LOL - Glad to hear you've been enjoying our videos :)
Just what I’ve been looking for to mount my single ARB compressor. I’ll order one soon.
Awesome! Glad we'll be able to help you out :)
Wayalife just ordered. Thanks!!
Eddie have you had any problems with dirt getting into coupling?
Very cool. The mount design is very clean. Great job.
Thank you, glad you like it :)
This was so helpful for my install. Thanks for showing all you did!!! It made it so much easier for me to be sure I was following the manuals for my ecodiesel JL and the ARB compressor properly
Glad it helped!
Another excellent video bro!
Thank you, so glad you liked what you saw :)
Had no idea you’re down in Carson! Got my ACM mount up in Reno last week, putting it all together in the next day or two. See ya on the trails 🤙🏻
Awesome! Yeah, just down the way from you. Maybe we'll see each other around sometime :)
Hey Cindy and Eddy!! Hope your holidays were full of peace and joy!! Glad to see you uploading videos again.
Thank you and Happy New Year :)
Thanks Eddie, because of your videos, I bought my Rubicon JLU, no kidding. Nice job.
LOL - congratulations to you on your new Jeep :)
I just added this mod to my Jeep yesterday! It's great.
Awesome, glad to hear it :)
@@wayalife And I added it to my wife's Jeep today. A lot easier the second time around, especially with the video!
WAYALIFE are one of the reason why people buy a Jeep Wrangler. 🤙🏻
LOL - you give us way too much credit but we're flattered you would say as much :)
ABSOLUTELY! I binged on his JL Journal before i got my Rubicon two weeks ago lol and i'm still here watching more hahaha
Man that was one hell of install video! Now to order everything up and watch the video again! Thanks!
Awesome! So glad to hear our video was helpful to you 😎
Great install video.
Thanks for putting the work in for everyone else's benefit.
Glad to help
"Um, not *that* kind of Air Supply".
HAHHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHA
LOL - glad you found that to be funn :)
That was funny. That hair. And great songs for it's time. Great slow dancing music.
@@wayalife
I had such an internal argument on weather or not the video was going to go to Mega Cheesy Mode or not.
Fortunately it was quickly squashed.
😄😄😎
i was enjoying that flashback, thank you very much! 😅
Seriously though, top notch tutorial Eddy!
LOL - glad you were able to figure this was filmed a while ago. Been cracking me up that so many people have been thinking this was a new JT :)
Happy new year and glad we have another video from wayalife👍🏻
Happy New Year to you as well and apologize for the delay in getting a video up. :)
By far the best how-to Jeep installation videos on TH-cam! Thanks again!
We're flattered to hear you say as much. thank you.
I bought the mounting bracket on the morning of December 28th, received it on December 29th.... WOW!!! !!! That was fast shipping. Thank you!
Awesome! Glad to hear you're happy with it 👍
Just installed the ARB compressor with the ACM bracket. Like previous viewers I purchased all of the components from this video. A great video with very detailed instructions. Everything went well with one small exception. I have a 2021 JLUR and the lower stud was in a different location than the cutout on the ACM bracket. I had to make a small cutout about 1/2" to the right of the cutout. Extremely happy with the installation and performance of the system. Thanks for making a great video and products.
I'm sorry to hear that the ACM didn't just bolt right up but glad to hear you were able to make it work and that you're still happy with it. I'll have to give this a look.
Got the install done today, on the coldest day here so far, but it's done. The mount worked great, also installed the CBbar for my Ham rig.
Awesome! So glad to hear you're happy with both!
Excellent vid , people who might be new to DIY on rigs will be able to do the work even if they did not have much knowledge of how it all goes together before. It will ease their minds and let them see it's not brain surgery and there is no mystery in how it all goes in. Nice work.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Thanks for such a great video really well thought out and presented. My buddy and I ordered Everything we needed from your link and installed our systems on our Jeep’s yesterday. First one took a bit longer than the second (ha). Thanks again love the channel!
LOL - glad to hear it! 😎
now that is a very slick mounting solution, well done brudda
Shane Martinson thanks! Glad you liked it 😎
If I only had a 10mm wrench or socket. AWESOME ARB INSTALL, Thanks for all the hard work in your videos. Keep them coming!
LOL - now that's funny. Glad you found our video to be useful :)
Really liked the install video and the way you walk through things. Attention to detail is great and I really like the location of that mount. My wife really wants a JLU Wrangler Rubicon and I was curious where to put onboard air. Thanks for taking the time to push this video out.
Awesome! So glad that our video was helpful to you :)
Thanks for a good Video. You're a good Teacher, I enjoy the details laid out with great communication. I hadn't considered purchasing a better compressor, let alone a fixed mounted one, but your opening comments sold me. Also, I totally agree on using a Torque Wrench on the lugnuts!
Happy to hear you enjoyed our video and found it to be educational.
ARB. Another great Aussie company. I have the same ARB compressor under the hood of the JL via the aux switches too. works like a charm. Steve 🇦🇺
Awesome :)
About to buy a Jeep - been researching all the mods I want to do so I can stage (1.2.3 etc) them with my budget. You have a been a big help.
Awesome, so glad to hear it 👍
Eddie, I got everything installed and cant tell you how much watching this video helped me. Great bracket and everything fit perfect. I did end up breaking 6 clips but I ordered the ones you had listed just in case. But there was a little trimming involved were the clips go in, I think the factory clips are a little narrow in the center were they slide in but everything worked out. I did run my air line on top of frame rail under power steering pump and did the same modification to the bracket you did and wow man, Perfect!! Just wish the ARB kit came with a dust cover for the Airport but I found one that will work. Thanks again man and will definitely order more stuff again.
Awesome, glad to hear it!
Just purchased a “stars & stripes wayalife” hoodie in support of your channel. Definitely an awesome channel you guys are promoting. Would like to see more content...more often, thanks!
Thank you, we really do appreciate your support and we'll do our best to get more content up :)
Finally! Been waiting weeks for a new video! Happy New Year! Hope to have a 2020 JLUR in white this year. Same exact as yours, white fenders black top
Awesome, you're gonna love it! Happy New Year to you as well :)
Awesome install but still a JK and TJ owner for now. You did a great job with the how to video and the bracket you designed is perfect clean and simple install.
Thanks! There are tons of options for the JK and TJ but I couldn't find anything I really liked for the JL/JT. Had to come up with something myself :)
Followed instructions and links. Worked like a champ on my 2022 gladiator. I did not need to remove tire or bodywork. It was a tight fit but not bad.
Awesome! Glad to hear it :)
Eddie/Cindy I really enjoy your vlogs!! Great content, editing and all around fun to watch. And I also have that habit of doing every job on my Jeep myself :) Keep it going guys !!!!
Awesome! Thank you! So glad you enjoy our videos 😎
Since I already have a twin compressor in my JK... guess I’ll be buying a JL so I can instill this very cool piece of kit. Very well done guys. I know making custom brackets like that so you can bring them to the public is both time consuming and exhausting. Happy new year!
LOL - thank you my friend. Happy New Year to you as well :)
You made that look so clean and easy. Great video
LOL - honestly, it really is that easy to install :)
Man its been too long Eddie we freaking missed you,and cindy too.Great videos as always.
Sorry about being MIA. Last year was a very busy one for us and one that kept us on the road a lot. We decided we really needed to spend time with family over the holidays. Hope to get back into the swing of things from here on out.
Really enjoying the videos. Just ordered my first jeep. Getting the new diesel wrangler rubicon. All the videos have really helped in giving me an idea on what I need. Hoping to build it all out as soon as I get it or have Evolution build it. Keep up the vids.
Really happy to hear it and congratulations on ordering up your first Jeep :)
Yet again, another awesome video! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Thank you :)
First at all,Happy New Year Cindy and Ed! Great video to start 2020 in the right way. Thanks for sharing.
Happy New Year to you as well and thank you :)
This is awesome! Congrats on your mount. Very well thought out.
Thank you. Glad you like what I've come up with :)
Great instructional video. Just got done with lift, tires and rock lights. Have been contemplating where I’d place a compressor ... and you just answered it! Now I just need to figure out where to order your bracket Thanks!
Awesome! Glad to hear we were able to help you out. There is a link in the video description to place an order for one. :)
Love all your videos bud always great info and how to’s keep up the good work
Thank you :)
Jumped on the only one in stock when it was available - delivered in two days! Darn impressive.
Install was almost exactly as shown - except the sensor line from the catalytic converter ran to a connector on the horizontal bracket - different than how it runs on yours- and was to short to keep the bracket sideways. Only way to get enough slack to clear the compressor was to bolt it back under to mount. Nut still fit and tightened up properly. Otherwise it went without a hitch. Thanks for providing a great, solid product.
Thanks for the heads up on the changes Jeep has made and glad to hear you were able to work around it anyway.
Excellent video and clean install for the Compressor. Very impressive. Im currently lugging around a portable compressor but this is an attractive alternative, especially if I go with ARB locker in the rear. I have an elocker in my PR44 but my M220 has the trackloc, and I’ve been waiting for a rear elocker for the M220 for over a year.
Thank you and I hope you're able to find a solution to you rear axle sooner than later.
What a great bit of kit! Nicely done on the bracket 👍👌
Thank you! Glad you like what you see :)
Thanks for the help figuring those issues out i was able to get it put in do to your awesome video. There was no guess work involved. Just waiting to get a extension hose to be able to mount the chuck behind the front bumper. For now it works and is ok behind the tire.
Awesome! So glad to hear it :)
Very detail explanation, proper tools you have.. nice video bro
Glad you liked it! 😎
It’s been a dry spell without Wayalife videos. Don’t let it be another month without a video! Haha! You guys are awesome!
Sorry about that. Needed to take some time off to spend with the family. Hope to get more videos out on a more regular basis again :)
Wayalife Totally understandable! I was just being selfish. 😉
Thanks for the video, that is perfect step by step! I like the location of the compressor, now I just need a JT lol
So happy to hear you found the video to be useful and I hope you're able to get your JT sooner than later :)
Great how-to video! You make everything look easy. 👍🏻
LOL - thank you but if you follow the steps I show in this video, it really is that easy.
I don't seed easy is litle hard.Is more better pay to do it
I’ve been on your channel for a while now and decided to subscribe. I like your Jeeps and your up dates on your off road gear. Nice stuff, interesting. No don’t have a Jeep. But I like this
LOL - truly flattered to hear you like our videos and enough to subscribe to our channel even though you don't have a Jeep :)
Dude, can't wait for your next adventure. The east coast one was very good.
So glad to hear you enjoyed it :)
Great video, great channel, your videos are all so very detailed and informative. NOTE to JLUR DIESEL OWNERS; the driver's side wheel well is where the windshield reservoir bottle lives, and it's a big one, and mounted in the same location as Wayalife's mod.. So unless you can find another place to mount an alternative washer reservoir and fittings, the ARB compressor will not fit in said wheel well. No, I have not looked at what is located in the passenger side area. Take care,
Happy new year's
Awesome outstanding job have a great time thanks
Happy New Year hope you guys had a great time! Looking forward to more awesome vids!
Hoping to bring more your way soon :)
Just wrapped up this install today. Really happy with everything. I will say you should definitely buy a bag of extra fender clips, half of them snapped on me when removing the fender. I also had bad luck with ARB hose kit. It did not come with the T piece that attaches the pressure sensor. The house was also damaged. I bought that kit a few months ago so I am out of my return window for Amazon which is a bummer. Long story short, check for all parts and test everything.
This tutorial was so helpful, install was a breeze. This is going to make airing up from the beach much easier and faster.
Great feedback and so glad to hear this video was helpful to you.
8:43 Whispers, "okaaaaaay," under your breath. The good ol', 'Yup, now I can't remember anything that comes next, but that looks good,' okay. That one got me to chuckle.
Duuuuude, no one on the Earth treats the Jeep like you do, Amaaaazing!!! if I was the Jeep's owner, I would bring you in as a technical consultant to fill the gap the Jeep has right now... good job and thanks for teaching us
LOL - you're too funny but thanks :)
Wayalife I 😄😄
Glad to see you back on the tube Eddie. .was wondering where you went ! Happy New Year!
Thank you. Happy New Year to you as well.
Enjoyed you video. You guys do a great job and make it look fun. Guess I will use my old Smittybilt stored in the Jeep (taking up room) until it dies. Hope the Holidays were good for the two of you.
Thank you, we're so glad you enjoyed our video and hope you have a wonderful New Year!
Eddie, A Very precise video. Great job!!!!!
Thank you :)
As always nice work Eddie.
Thank you :)
I like your blue renegade ....I had a yellow Orange one when it was one year old, loved it ,wish I had it back
Thank you
You have the best videos it amazes me how someone break's you guys have something to fix it
Thank you. For better or for worse, we've been doing this long enough that if something can break, it's probably happened to us before.
Good video Eddie and Cindy clean and simple.
Thank you. We're glad you enjoyed it :)
Nice clean installation!
Thank you :)
Very well done video. Outstanding!! definitely subscribing.
Awesome, thank you!
