If your concerned about needing to reseat your tires be sure to mark your valve stem position on all the tires before hitting the trails. Otherwise after the reseat they’ll be out of balance.

Of course. Where else would you store the electrons?

Another vote for Puma, mount was created by Landcruiserphil. Photos are from 2014. Almost 10 years on this set up and never considered changing it, yet.

I installed my compressor and airtank on top of the (unused) spare wheel crossmember. Out of the way and protected.
Good luck filling your tires with electrons...although, maybe you can get a battery to identify as an air tank when you need air...
Do you air up all 4 at once or one tire at a time? I read these don't like the 1 tire plan due to pressures.
I have a lab's rear bumper on my 80 with the spare tire sitting on it. With the spare tire and crossmember out That leaves a lot of room underneath where the spare tire used to go. I'm thinking about mounting the compressor and tank underneath there, as out of harm's way as possible.
Besides keeping it from banging on rocks, and it getting a little dirty and muddy, I don't see any downside to this.... Thoughts?
Maybe a submersion concern if going across deep water... hmmm.

The ABR sidewinder compressor I have is basically the same physical size at that Puma one. when I first got the ABR one (around 2014) I didn't know about the Puma's. I've often thought about having an additional air tank but not sure where I'd put it since the underside where the factory spare wheel mount would be is a 'naked space' that I like keeping that way.

They are absolutely massive… and only 9.5
Should clarify that the Warn Powerplant is a dual winch & compressor device for those wondering if it is applicable in this thread. It is.
Sooo when it comes to quick-disconnects on the bumpers--are you running female or male coupler at the bumper? Mounting it by running the fitting THROUGH the bumper, or held in a bracket bolted TO the bumper etc.? Pics please!
How did you put it together? WitsEnd used to have a kit but isn’t offered anymore. Thanks.
Looks like WitsEnd doesn’t offer the kit anymore but individual parts are sold separately. Here we go ….. another project
