Has anyone tried to mount a Smittybilt compressor in the engine bay with or without the Slee Mount? Trying to get it in there the easiest way. Any ideas would be lovely. Thanks

If you have AHC this won't work but I put a Viair 400p int the bay next to the air-box. I don't have a pic super handy put here is the page on my build thread. If you do have AHC then you can probably do it in front of the air-box.

Curious as well. I have that same compressor and no AHC, so I have plenty of room to mount it on PS side. Not sure if that compressor will work with the Slee mount, though. May need some fab work to make it fit/function.
I have a Viair 460 mounted between the airbox and headlight. Don't know the dimensions of the smittybuilt but you can compare that to the 460
Sub'd since I've been thinking to the same with same compressor.
I cant believe Slee and Smittybuilt were used in the same sentence.

Pictures of it if you could?
If i was going to mount a compressor in the engine bay, I would use a better quality one. Master Flow, Viair etc. id rather do it right the first time.

That Smittybilt compressor is suprisingly pretty good. Regularly airs up all 4 of my 285s from 12-15 psi to 35 psi within a few minutes and without overheating. I've yet to blow the inline fuse. If one was to install air lockers front and rear, then certainly a better compressor might be in order...

Nice install! and like the use of the sliders for the tank. (posts 9553 & 9554)

I have the same compressor as well and it is pretty good. I regularly get complimented on it by others I'm airing back up with, and always end up letting those with smaller or slower compressors use mine when I inevitably finish well before everyone else.
My plan was to semi-perma-mount mine in my rear cargo drawers with an air fitting on the face, just inside the tailgate.

My only concern with that location would be whether the compressor gets enough air flow there to coil down after use. My Smittybilt gets pretty hot to the touch after airing up 2 or more vehicles consecutively.
i believe smitty built licenses from master flow, they did with the diablow mf1089 version as they maintained a similar model number.

The MasterFlow MF-1089 Diabloww heavy duty 12V tire inflator helps you get the big jobs done quickly with it's twin cylinders delivering 5500 Cu In of air flow.

Agreed. In my head I've got two computer fans bringing cool air into the space and pushing hot air out of it. Meh, idk.

I also just found this in some researching. Could be helpful for those using their compressors enough to mount them in the truck.

Anyone besides slee make an air compressor mount for the engine bay?
The slee is for a 2nd battery as well as a compressor. I don’t need that just a simple mount for an air compressorb
