ARB Battery tray and Compressor

[744drvr Find all posts View Profile Close 744drvr]

Called into a Melbourne ARB store the other day inquiring about dual battery trays and the guy I spoke to claims that their CKMA air compressor can be fitted to the tray.

Has anyone done or heard of this? Any photos?

Thanks......

yeah sure, drill some holes in it and bolt it up.

That's one way I guess:-) I was interested as to whether it would actually fit as there doesn't seem to be much room in the 150 D4D with the tray and battery installed from the pictures I have seen here......

definitely not enough room to mount both the battery and the compressor on the tray.

Spoke to ARB again today and it would seem that the compressor can be attached to the battery tray on a Hilux, but not the 150 Prado.

Doe's anyone have the ARB compressor mounted under the bonnet?

Yep, installed it near the firewall on the passenger side next to the diesel filter. also have a battery behind both headlights. Hope this helps.

Hi Ryzz,

I am not picking up the 150 until next month. It is still on the boat so it is a bit difficult for me to have a look at that area.
Would you happen to have a photo of the compressor installed that you could email me please? I will PM you my email.....
Thanks....

Here are a couple of very very crappy photos from my phone showing the compressor. Hope this helps.

I put mine on the opposite side. Check out my build up thread.

Good one Barry I've been eyeing off that spot for the same purpose. I'd recommend that placement Ryzz as the body is obviously designed to support something there... buggered if I know what. Anyone got any ideas? Might be air for poshpack suspension?
