Hey everyone. I’ve been doing a little research as I’m waiting for delivery of my BS Badlands. I took my ARB Compressor off of my Raptor and planning on installing it under the hood of the BS. Anyone know of anyone making a mount to allow you to install under hood? On that not any recommendations on auxiliary switches that do not require any drilling into the dash to mount? I looked at some old posts on here and it seems like folks were just drilling into the dash to mount. I was hoping for a more oem look. Thanks.

Thanks Jonnie. Yeah I saw those posts earlier. I have the same twin ARB compressor as the guy who installed his under the hood. But seems that he had a friend of his who’s a metal worker fabricate a mount for him. I don’t know any metal workers. I was hoping by now someone from the aftermarket industry would have one designed. They have them for the Big Broncos but not the Sport.

Lots of folks here have 3D printers. Maybe you could get specs/measurements from previous install, or, measure it out yourself and get someone to print for you.

Would the radio have fit if it was turned 90 degrees?

Yes I already had the braket made so I just reused it
I was just thinking it would protect the much cord from people's feet or equipment on the floor.
