That’s a good idea! I like that because it would protect it from the sun. Mines getting kind of faded.

I finally got around to doing this on the Wrangler. 2.0 motor with the oxygen sensor wire.
I just disconnected the black harness from the body, moved it up a hole. And I disconnected the gray plug from the metal bracket and zip tied it up by the brake booster.
Final fit. Worked fine.

Awesome! I really appreciate you posting this up

Gonna revive this old thread here with a new idea, well new to me and not a lot of details on it and the one that I found that did it is MIA and hasn't answered any questions since project completed last year. So here goes...ARB single compressor with provided brass plate mounted behind the driver side tail light with a 18Inch leader hose to the Next Venture Motorsports Fuel door air Chuck next to fuel neck. I'm curious how one would wire this up? Hook everything in the back with ARB provided harness and splice/lengthen the battery wires all the way to the engine and since I want to utilize my AUX1 as well for this, lengthen this from under the passenger side dash (throw some extra wires down in a loom just incase for future rear powered projects)? What size wire should I use for battery power and the AUX1 run to the harness?
I thought this made more sense than trying to wire it all up in the engine bay than lengthen the motor wires, pressure switch wires? I don't know because it's 2 runs either direction here it seems.

IMO it's a shorter run in the engine bay and if you open the hood when in use, it'll get better air flow.
I wouldn't want that where gas fumes are likely to collect, air compressors get hot and that's a tight space with no air flow.
Where do you plan on putting the air intake(s), they should have a source of cooler air and if it's sucking in the heated air, it won't perform as well as it could but with no space to dissipate the heat it generates, it still won't perform as well as it could.

I was totally unaware of this space behind the tail-light! Cheech and Chong would surely have been aware.
It seems that fresh air can from inside the Jeep, where it is even air-conditioned.
If there are fuel vapors in there, then there is already a problem.
The wiring would need to be pretty thick in order to avoid voltage drop and unwanted heating.
I propose that someone implement this and report how it goes.
