    Hard Mounted Air Compressor for 2016 NX

    Hi,
    Today I put the Pajero in to get my Bushranger Max Air 3 air compressor hard mounted and wired up.
    Unfortunately they were unable to find the room in the engine bay or the rear to mount it.
    Has anybody had the same issues and how have you solved them?
    I'm happy to sell off the Bushranger if anybody has found a different model that fits either the rear or engine bay.

    Thanks

    A few people have installed compressors behind the rear trim.

      I cut out the rear trim and mounted N70Z sized battery on LHS and Kings twin head compressor on the other side.
      Hidden behind timber vertical sections that are finished with timber horizontal sections back to the sides. Finish about 50mm below the windows.

      Still have full access to the under floor storage. I can't remember if it is a neat 1000m or a neat 900mm between the verticals.

      One day I will actually get time finish it off with trim and fridge mount etc, and to wire it up instead of running the alligator clips across to the battery

        I haven't see it done but have heard if you don't have a second battery under bonnet it can be mounted there on a bracket.

          See this link.

          Geopaj has fitted the compressor inside the rear wheel holder.

          I reckon it is solid choice.

            Think the Bushranger is a bit bigger than the ARB mate.

            Max Air III Compressor - Bushranger 4x4 Gear
            https://bushranger.com.au/product/max-air-iii-compressor/
            The Bushranger® Max Air III Compressor has been engineered and designed with quick and easy in mind. This unit easily inflates and deflates and can also support all your air-supply needs. Simply use this compressor without the need to constantly turn it on and off. It is fantastic for use on tyres and offers not only fast inflation and ease of use, but is manufactured to the highest standards of quality and backed with a 5 year warranty. This compressor is also great for use in an on-board air system, you can simply hard-mount the compressor and fasten it to a tank, as the pressure switch is already installed.

              Sure is, the OP stated he was considering selling the current Bushranger.

              I remembered this post by Geopaj & thought I would bring it to his attention.

              Just another option I suppose

                      Hard Mounted Air Compressor for 2016 NX

                      Hi Liam, are you really that old ?
                      If you do go down the road of getting a smaller compressor - I have fitted the single pot ARB compressor in the engine bay of my NP. I made up a bracket and used the existing bolts on the engine bay wall. Had to move the ABS relays onto the rear wall and showhorn the comp relay into the corner but it works fine. Switch is on the dash under the steering wheel and with the single hose I can reach all 4 wheels without a problem.
                      It would also fit inside the plastic bulkhead in the rear compartment (Passenger side) but I would have had to run the wire down inside and it was much easier to wire it up in the engine bay.
                      Cheers
                      Peter

                        Not old but jumping out of planes for a living has made my back a couple of decades older. Let alone the knee issues I have as well.
                        Sometimes I think the wife thinks about putting me down for my own good 😂
                        TJM have provided a solution with their new vehicle compressor. Have to sell the current one first though.

                          Not sold on the compressor location but love the water spout. I have to steal that idea. Well done!
