Onboard ARB Compressor Engine Bay Mount

Yes! The bracket is a direct bolt-on fit for 2001-2002 models with no modifications needed.

Yes, but some 1996-2000 4Runners have an ABS pump on the passenger side that may interfere with installation. If your vehicle has ABS in this location, modifications or an ABS delete may be required. Contact us if you’re unsure!

Open your hood and look at the passenger side of the engine bay. If you see a metal ABS pump assembly in this area, it will occupy the same space as the bracket. If you don’t see an ABS pump there, you’re good to go!

Yes, but you may need to relocate or delete the ABS system. Some off-roaders choose to remove ABS for simplicity, while others modify the bracket placement. Contact us if you’d like to discuss options!

No, this ARB compressor bracket is designed to fit within the existing engine bay layout without interfering with factory components, including the passenger-side cruise control module. There is a built-in stud in this bracket that will allowing you to adjust your cruise control module and move it forward toward the vehicle if you need the additional clearance for your air compressor.

• The 1996-2000 4Runner uses a cruise control module positioned on the passenger side of the engine bay, about 6 inches away from where this bracket is mounted.
• There is no hard clearance issues, and installation does not require modifying the cruise control system.

💡 Note: If your 4Runner has aftermarket modifications in the same engine bay location, we recommend verifying available space before installation.

Yes—dual battery setups are generally compatible. This bracket installs on the passenger-side fender, while most dual battery kits place the second battery on the driver’s side. Just make sure your battery setup doesn’t intrude into the bracket’s mounting area. If you’re not sure, feel free to reach out to confirm fitment.

Yes. This bracket is fully compatible with ARB’s Air Intake Relocation Kit. It’s a great upgrade for those who want to pull cleaner, cooler air from inside the vehicle, especially for dusty or wet conditions.

Absolutely. While the bracket doesn’t have space for an air tank underneath, you can install a tank elsewhere in the vehicle and route a braided stainless hose to it. The compressor and tank will work together as a seamless onboard system.

No interference with key OEM components other than 1996-2000 ABS (if your vehicle has it). This bracket has been designed to avoid conflict with items like fuse boxes, wiring looms, and relays. If your 4Runner has factory cruise control, the built-in relocation stud makes room for it without issues.

Yes! Most common snorkel kits for 3rd Gen 4Runners route intake plumbing along the inner fender or driver side. We’ve verified that this bracket clears standard snorkel configurations without issue.

In most cases, yes. If your setup includes custom cold air intakes, relocated fuse blocks, or other under-hood mods, just make sure nothing occupies the passenger-side fender area where this bracket installs. Reach out if you’re unsure about fitment.

Installation is 100% reversible—the bracket mounts using existing factory holes, so no cutting or drilling is required. If you ever need to remove it, you can return your engine bay to stock without any issues.

Yes, installation is fully reversible when performed correctly. The ABS pump can be removed without cutting wire harnesses or modifying hard brake lines, and it can be reinstalled if needed. However, care should be taken when working with older vehicles, as existing components (such as brake lines and connectors) may be fragile due to age. If you have any concerns, we recommend consulting a qualified mechanic.

Basic hand tools (socket wrench, ratchet, and possibly pliers) are all that’s required. Installation typically takes under 15 minutes.

This bracket is designed to fit all major ARB compressor models:

• ARB CKSA12 – Compact model, ideal for air lockers only.
• ARB CKMA12 (12V Single) – Versatile for tires and lockers.
• ARB CKMA24 (24V Single) – 24V version of the single.
• ARB CKMTA12 (12V Twin) – High-performance twin, capable of running air tools.
• ARB CKMTA24 (24V Twin) – 24V version of the twin.

Note: The bracket is optimized for secure mounting, minimal vibration, and proper clearance for ARB’s unique form factors.

Yes. This bracket includes pre-drilled holes on the underside for mounting the ARB manifold kit. The location keeps the manifold close to the firewall, allowing clean routing of air lines and convenient access to locker solenoids and quick couplings.

Yes, this bracket is designed to work with most aftermarket cold air intakes, snorkels, dual battery kits, and other modifications, as long as they don’t occupy the same passenger-side fender space. If your engine bay is heavily customized, we recommend verifying clearance before installation.

Yes, all necessary stainless-steel hardware is included. The kit comes with everything you need to mount the bracket and secure your ARB compressor—spacers, lock nuts, washers, and fasteners are all in the box.

Yes. While it’s purpose-built for ARB compressors, many 4Runner owners have adapted it to mount switch panels, fuse blocks, winch controllers, solenoids, and other accessories. Just be sure to check dimensions and mounting points before repurposing it.

The bracket is constructed from heavy-duty CNC-cut steel and coated with a durable textured black powder coat for corrosion resistance and rugged durability under the hood.

We include premium stainless-steel hardware—chosen for strength, corrosion resistance, and off-road reliability. All necessary components are included for a solid install.

No wiring is included. This bracket is strictly a mounting solution. Your ARB compressor should come with a wiring harness, and any additional wiring needs—like switches or air locker hookups—can be sourced from ARB or your installer.
