In-vehicle compressor for 2016 double-cab

Postby Markdavo on Tue, 28 Aug 2018 8:56 +0000

Can anyone recommend an air compressor that I can install under or behind the back seat of a 2016 double-cab Hilux?

Thanks, Mark

ARB compressor is much smaller in size but same if not better capacity.
Has a cut off switch etc.

And it fits under the rear seat with the outlet coming out the front face. Works a treat.

ARB techs have been doing this on the Hilux model since 05 onwards.

Mine personally is bolted to the underside of the tub behind the L/H wheel

It is tight but it works. Also ran outlet to both the front and rear bars so I can be lazy don’t need to drag a super long hose all the time.

Thanks

It’s bolted directly to the underside of the tub. Drilled straight through from above. It’s not exactly the prettiest but it is all hidden from above by the tub liner.


I will try to remember to take some pics for you.
