UPDATE:

I received my compressor and got it mounted. I will post pictures when I get a chance, but here is a quick rundown.

The compressor is mounted on the US Driver side between the brake master cylinder and the fuse box.

On the inside of the inner fender, on the surface perpendicular to the ground there are three M8X1.25mm. These holes are spaced out wider than the supplied mounting bracket, so i fabricated one up. It was not too much trouble.

What I like is the the compressor hides under the factory engine covers of the LX, this way it looks stock but there is a compressor and dual batteries hiding underneath.

Now I just need to find a good hidden place to mount an air tank and a quick disconnect for an air hose.

Hey guys, I've search but haven't seen any pictures. I ordered an ARB CKMA12. Can some of you with compressors post some pics or tips on how you mounted the compressors? I am planning on mounting it on the rear driver side US of the engine bay.

Thanks so much, I can't wait to get on board air.

I tried to mount a 2.5ga tank, but there just wasn't anywhere to put it. I ended up putting in a 1ga tank behind the passenger rear tire between the frame and the body panel. Good luck.

I do not think I will be able to put a tank there since I have an LX570, the AHC pump and accumulator is located there.

I might try if I can put a tank in the same location on the US driver side.

Do you any pictures you can share on the compressor tank? Which 1 gallon take did you use?
