Just wrapped up my install of a Viair compressor. While installing my DV8 bumper and winch, I noticed there was large volume of space behind the plastic bumper, below the headlights on both sides. I fabricated a bracket and welded it to the DV8 bumper. The compressor fits perfectly and I was easily able to run the inlet and outlet hoses up for easy access and protection from water crossings. The compressor itself is waterproof and able to withstand being completely submerged for short periods of time. I did have to make one minor adjustment to the fog light due to the wiring harness/plug that was very close to the compressor body. I was worried about the heat coming off the compressor so I just shifted the plug to a slightly different position.
Inlet and Outlet both bolted with OEM bolts that were already present in the locations and securing something else. It's great when you can find a bolt that can be used for securing multiple things!
