- Mark's 2023 Next Gen Ranger gets its latest mod - the ARB Twin Compressor gets installed into the tub. It's a neat install, but is it worth the cost?

Going to get the Daimler Benz Unimog 5025 , onboard air ,tyre deflation system , and can carry 6 ton and tow another 6 ton ...
Nice mate. Have to send through a pic of your set up
That is a nice, neat addition to the Ranger. looks & works Great. And definitely a time saving game changer. If they do one for my Everest that looks so neat, I'm getting one for sure.
Thanks Rob. I’m really happy with it. I’m sure there is potential in the Everest. Worth a chat with your local ARB
would have lived to see the install. Its great how their gear is integrated.
Hey Shane. I did try, however the best I could get was a photo from ARB.
I think the happy go travel channel have a video of some of the install.
Hey mate, I had mine installed at pre delivery however I had them install the outlet valve and on/off switch on a switch panel on the other side of the tub where the roller shutter button was, it’s a way better setup option, plus all the Anderson plugs are there too
Sounds like a good option 👍 With upcoming mods (as you’ll see in one of my next vids) I have extra storage coming which means all my compressor gear will be close to the current location which will work well for me, but sounds like you have a neat install
the ARB twin air compressor fits very well in the Ranger and the Indeflate is a must have👍
It’s a neat install isn’t it. The indeflate doesn’t save too much time but certainty is convenient to be able to do a couple of wheels at the same time 👍
@@Perth4WDandCampingHi Mark, the best thing i find with the indefate is that it saves my knees
@@rollyb5061 yes a big plus 👍
Gday, where did you get the gauge hanger holder? Does it come with maxtrax only?
Hey matey, been following your channel for some time now and your vids are awesome. Just a random question about your PDX winch, did you get it from Ironman or somewhere else and does it have the synthetic rope. I am going to get the ironman bar same as yours so just looking at winch options. Any info about it would be extremely helpful. Cheers.
Hi mate. Appreciate the feedback on the videos 👌
I just bought the winch myself and got 4x4 extras in Wangara to install. The Ultra 12,000 pound winch at approx 20kg is a lot lighter than the others on the market as was a big factor in my decision as too much weight on either extremity of a vehicle isn’t ideal. I paid full retail price at - ultrawinch.com.au/products/12k-electric-winch
I'm putting the same on mine, BUT, I'm putting in 5 outlets. One on the side step next to each wheel, and one on the towbar, and installing the arb pressure regulator via bluetooth. Connect all four wheels, set pressure on app and sit back and wait
Sounds great. Would love to see it in action 👍
Sounds like airleaks waiting to happen for the sake of running a longer air line

@@1989cranston be interested to know how it goes. I took ARBs advice on this one.
I mounted mine under the tub above the spare wheel for easy routing to a 6L tank. Outlet is mounted on a pirate camp co panel with switch and anderson plugs for the fridge etc'. Had kings compressor before, but they just do not last. They overheat and do not work......
Sounds good Darrin. I may look at adding a tank at a later stage to run tools
@@Perth4WDandCamping G'day Mark, just discovered your channel recently. I loved that your in Perth because it makes your travels, product and services sugestions more releavant. I have been following your channel because I'm currently doing research on a Ranger and you seem to be covering the topics I'm considering for may rig. I will be ordering the compressor, BP 51 ARB suspension, Bull Bar, side rails and steps. I definately would want an air tank, so am keen to see how that goes. Also in my last vehicle I placed the air hose connection point in the rear step well so I could get better access to it and the the switch was in the cab so I did'nt have to move things to get to it. I'm hoping I can use the auxillary switches.
Sounds good. I’ve seen a few people mount next to the side step. My main reason for sticking to the original spot was to keep the air connection away from dust and water (of course there are dust cap options), but if you’ve had experience with this location before and it’s worked for you then awesome. In coming weeks I’ll be covering my suspension choice and process 👍 If you have any specific questions on the suspension before you’re ordering, by all means feel free to drop a DM via my Facebook or Instagram pages. Cheers Mark
Hey mate, thanks for the vid. Just picked up a Wildtrak and with all the optional mods available it's hard to know what's actual quality and what's just brand name. Just wondering though if this runs off the main battery or if you have a second battery it's running off instead?
Just off the standard battery mate. You need to keep the car running whilst in use as they draw a fair bit of power. I’m a bit selective with the ARB gear as it comes with a high price tag but I really rate their compressors. I consider it the pay once, enjoy long approach ha
@@Perth4WDandCamping Fantastic, thanks for the response!
@@nickstone9112 anytime 👍
I’ve got the same setup in my raptor. Generally works great but occasionally blows a fuse when using the 2 hose indeflate. Have you had the same issue?
Haven’t experienced that one. Generally I’m pumping up each tyre individually. I’ve found there’s not a huge time difference between doing this and using the indeflate (by the time you set it up etc).
Please can you let me know where did you get the floor mats from, also do you think you need an air tank with the ARB COMPRESSOR?
G’day Neil. Floor mats from phdtech.com.au and I didn’t install an air tank with the compressor. It’s fine without if you’re just pumping tyres. If planning to run air tools then you’d need a tank
I order mine air compressor when I order my wildtrak also my truck will be ready for hand over in mid may as long as there’s no more delays
Great that’s not too long to wait. Loving my compressor 😀
Did your ranger come with the roof switches? If so, how come you didn’t wire it to them?
No mate XLT doesn’t have the roof switches
Why the arb charge me double to install the air compressor😂
Maybe worth ringing around. I’m sure most 4x4 accessories shops would be happy to install
Hey mate do u know if they fit the older model rangers px2?
Hi. Pretty sure they do a model for the PX. All the compatible models are listed on the Huracan Fabrication website.
I have the ARB portable twin compressor with the tank. When I spoke to ARB they don’t sell the kit without the compressor so I would have to get a kit elsewhere Is there any room to fit the tank as well?
Good question. Not sure if they’d be room for a tank behind the skin. Suggest a chat to ARB in case they’ve been able to squeeze on in. I may add a tank later on too if there’s the option
@@Perth4WDandCamping was there the option ? Lol
Haven’t added one yet. Compressor alone is doing a good enough job pumping up the tyres. Tank beneficial if running any air tools
how to clean the air filter of the compressor?
G’day. Good question. Assume have to pop off the inner wheel guard to clean
What do you think of the tyres?
Love them Richard. Are heavy as they have a 3 ply sidewall, but makes them strong off road. They handle great on the black top too
The install of this is impossible to do DIY - just dont bother. Anyone who says DIY this install, has no idea. Get ARB to do it.
Certainly not impossible as we demonstrated, but it’s certainly one to take your time on (double check everything before you start cutting). Instructions provided from Huracan Fab are pretty good.
