Caught the Bug
I have been looking into installing an arb compressor onto my jeep. But I cannot decide between the twin pump or the heavy duty single pump. I would mainly use it to air up my tires after a trail ride. What would you guys recommend?

I've owned both. The twin is a little faster but the single does just fine. On a JL, as long as you have the gas engine, Eddie's ACM bracket makes a clean set up:

WRITE-UP : WAYALIFE ACM - Jeep JL / JT Under the Hood ARB Air Compressor Mount

One of the cheapest and easiest things you can do to improve the quality of your Jeep JL Wrangler or JT Gladiator's ride and overall performance off-road, is to air down your tires before hitting the trail. Reducing the PSI or lowering pressure in your tires will do wonders to soften things up...

I think the remote air chuck offers a clean look as well. I put mine up by the firewall:

I was actually looking at running the air chuck to the drivers side cowl and using a 4xe charging port piece to mount the switch and chuck. I was looking at the bracket from Eddie as well.

That would look really clean. I just looked it up, those ports aren't all that expensive either.

great idea, I've been considering installing an ARB since my Co2 tank while fast, it's become a real PIA to get filled, takes up valuable space and now due for a pressure test but can't find a place that will do it.
wonder if that cowl part would fit a 2018 JLU

It should. There isn't a difference in the cowl unless you have a 392.
 
I've used the single ARB with Eddie's mount for about two years now... works great! Some had concern about the compressor being too close to eghaust heat... I cut and trimmed a peice of alum. that made a barrier around the engine side of the compressor from the frame about 14x8 inches. that seems to keep it cool! I was in 100plus heat for about two weeks offroading and refilling tires daily and it never overheated. There are some pics up in my gladiator build thread.
