Where to Mount an ARB Twin Compressor in a Jeep Wrangler JL

A Clean Onboard Air Solution for Jeep Wrangler JLU Owners

Airing down your tires is one of the simplest ways to improve comfort, traction, and control when driving your Jeep Wrangler JL off-road. Whether you are crawling rocks, running forest roads, exploring the desert, or heading out on an overland trip, lower tire pressure helps your Jeep work better on the trail.

The problem usually starts after the trail is over.

Now you need to air your tires back up before driving home, and that means pulling out a portable compressor, digging through hoses, finding fittings, connecting everything, and packing it all away again when you are done. For Jeep owners who wheel often, that routine gets old fast.

That is why many JL owners eventually start asking the same question:

Where do I mount my onboard air compressor inside my Jeep Wrangler JL?

The Rebel Off Road Jeep Wrangler JLU Rear Storage Compressor Mount answers that question by turning the factory rear floor storage compartment into a clean, organized, tucked-away onboard air location.

Instead of leaving your compressor loose in the cargo area or trying to force it under the hood, this mount gives your ARB Twin Compressor or ARB Brushless Twin Compressor a dedicated home inside the rear storage bin of your Jeep Wrangler JLU.

The Problem: Onboard Air Is Great, But Mounting It Can Be Awkward

An onboard air system is one of the most useful upgrades you can add to a trail-driven Jeep Wrangler JL. It helps with tire inflation after airing down, air tools, trail repairs, and general off-road convenience.

But the compressor itself needs to live somewhere.

A lot of Jeep owners run into the same problems:

• The compressor takes up cargo space
• Portable compressors move around in the back of the Jeep
• Loose hoses and fittings create clutter
• Under-hood mounting can expose components to heat, dirt, and water
• Interior mounting can look unfinished if there is no proper bracket
• Wiring can become messy without a clear routing plan
• Air-up gear is hard to reach when you actually need it

The result is usually a compressor setup that works, but does not feel clean, secure, or easy to use.

For Jeep Wrangler JL owners who want a more finished onboard air system, the rear floor storage compartment is a smart location. It is tucked away, protected, easy to access from the rear cargo area, and makes better use of space that often goes underused.

The Solution: Rear Storage Compressor Mount by Rebel Off Road

The Rebel Off Road Jeep Wrangler JLU Rear Storage Compressor Mount is designed to place your onboard air system inside the rear floor storage compartment of a Jeep Wrangler JLU 4-door.

This gives your compressor, air coupler, switch panel, manifold, hoses, and related air-up hardware a clean and organized location in the back of the Jeep.

Instead of having your ARB Twin Compressor mounted randomly in the cargo area or sitting loose in a bag, this system creates a dedicated onboard air station that is easy to access when you need to inflate your tires after the trail.

It is designed for Jeep owners who want their air system to feel like part of the build, not an afterthought.

Designed for ARB Twin Compressor Systems

This rear storage compressor mount is designed to work with both the ARB 12V Twin Air Compressor CKMTA12 and the ARB Brushless Twin On-Board Air Compressor.

The mount uses slotted mounting points to support both compressor systems, giving JL owners a flexible foundation for building an onboard air setup around one of the most popular compressor platforms in the off-road world.

It also includes attachment points for the ARB Compressor Manifold Kit 171503, helping you build a more complete and functional air system.

If your goal is to run an ARB Twin Compressor inside your Jeep Wrangler JL, this mount gives you a purpose-built location that keeps the compressor secure, accessible, and tucked away.

Why Mount the Compressor in the Rear Storage Bin?

The rear floor storage compartment in a Jeep Wrangler JLU is a great place to build an onboard air system because it keeps everything low, protected, and out of the way.

For most Jeep owners, the back of the vehicle is where tire inflation happens anyway. You are already walking around the Jeep, opening the tailgate, grabbing gear, and getting ready to air back up. Keeping the compressor and air-up hardware in the rear cargo area makes the process more natural.

The big advantage is that the compressor is hidden when not in use, but easy to access when needed.

That means:

• Less cargo area clutter
• No loose compressor sliding around
• Cleaner hose and fitting storage
• Easier access after the trail
• Better use of factory storage space
• A more complete onboard air system
• A cleaner overall Jeep build

For daily drivers, weekend trail rigs, and overland builds, this is exactly the kind of upgrade that makes the Jeep easier to live with.

Built Around Tire Inflation After Airing Down

One of the main reasons Jeep owners install onboard air is simple: tire pressure.

Airing down improves traction and ride quality off-road, but once the trail day is over, those tires need to be inflated back to safe street pressure. Depending on tire size, pressure change, and compressor output, airing back up can take time.

Having a permanently mounted onboard air system makes that process faster and easier.

Instead of unloading a portable compressor and sorting through a pile of gear, you open the rear cargo area, access your air system, connect your hose, and start airing up.

For Jeep Wrangler JL owners running larger tires, beadlock wheels, trail-focused tire pressures, or frequent off-road trips, that convenience adds up quickly.

A Cleaner Way to Organize Air Hoses and Accessories

A good onboard air setup is not just about the compressor. You also need to think about the hose, fittings, air coupler, switch location, wiring, and storage.

The Rebel Off Road Rear Storage Compressor Mount includes MOLLE-style cutouts that allow you to secure air-up hoses and accessories using Quick Fist clamps or similar attachment options.

It also works well with the Apex Designs Compact Reel System 20' when paired with the CRS Universal Mounting Bracket X02-06-004. This creates a clean way to store and access your air hose without loose gear moving around in the back of your Jeep.

That matters because the best trail gear is the gear you can actually find and use quickly.

Switch Panel and Air Coupler Support

This mount can be paired with a switch panel and an ARB Rocker Switch and Air Coupler Combo Mount, giving you a more complete onboard air solution directly out of the rear floor storage compartment.

That means your compressor control and air access point can be located together, which makes the system easier to understand and easier to use.

For anyone building a clean Jeep Wrangler JL onboard air setup, this is a big deal. A compressor mounted in the Jeep is helpful. A compressor mounted with an organized switch, coupler, manifold, and hose storage is much better.

Clean Wiring Routing

The mount features an integrated center cutout that allows the wiring harness to route cleanly back toward the engine bay.

This is helpful for Jeep owners connecting their compressor system to an sPOD, Switch-Pros, Switch-Works, or similar power management system.

Wiring is one of the areas where onboard air installs can quickly become messy. A mount that gives you a cleaner path for routing helps the finished install look and function better.

What Comes Included

The Rebel Off Road Jeep Wrangler JLU Rear Storage Compressor Mount includes:

• Mounting plate for the compressor
• Hardware to mount the plate inside the JLU rear storage compartment
• Switch panel for rocker switch and air coupler
• Hardware to mount the switch panel to the mounting plate

The mounting plate and switch panel are made from aluminum, and the finished product comes in textured black powder coat.

Vehicle Compatibility

This compressor mount is compatible with Jeep Wrangler JLU 4-door Rubicon, Sport, and Sahara models.

It is not currently available for 2-door, 4xe, or 392 models.

That fitment note is important. If you are building a Jeep Wrangler JL onboard air system, confirm your model before ordering.

Installation Note

Installation requires a rivnut tool to properly set the six rivnuts included with the hardware kit. Those rivnuts are needed to secure the bracket to the vehicle.

For experienced installers, this is a straightforward part of the process. For customers who are not comfortable setting rivnuts or wiring an onboard air system, professional installation is a smart option.

Rebel Off Road can help with product selection, onboard air layout, and installation support for Jeep Wrangler JL owners looking to build a clean and reliable air system.

Who Is This Mount For?

This rear storage compressor mount is a great fit for Jeep Wrangler JLU owners who:

• Air down regularly on trails
• Need a faster way to air tires back up
• Want an onboard ARB Twin Compressor setup
• Want to keep the compressor inside the Jeep
• Do not want loose air-up gear in the cargo area
• Want a clean rear storage compartment install
• Are building an overland or rock crawling Jeep
• Want a more organized setup for hoses, fittings, switches, and couplers

It is also a smart upgrade for Jeep owners who are trying to build in stages. You may not need a full custom air system right away, but having a clean compressor mount gives you the foundation to build from.

Why This Is Better Than a Loose Portable Compressor

Portable compressors work, but they are not always convenient.

You have to store them, unpack them, connect them, cool them down, and repack everything when finished. After a long trail day, that routine can feel like one more chore before heading home.

A mounted onboard air system changes that experience.

Your compressor is already in the Jeep. Your wiring is already handled. Your hose and fittings have a dedicated place. Your switch and coupler can be positioned where they make sense. The whole setup feels more organized and more permanent.

For Jeep owners who wheel more than once or twice a year, that convenience is worth paying attention to.

By using the rear floor storage compartment, this mount keeps the compressor tucked away, protected, and easy to access. It helps reduce clutter, improves organization, supports common ARB air system components, and gives your Jeep a cleaner trail-ready setup.

If you are tired of dragging out a portable compressor every time you air down, or you want a better way to build onboard air inside your Jeep Wrangler JLU, this mount is a smart place to start.
