Bolt in On Board Air Compressor Mount

Where can I purchase this? I have a 3rd gen, dual compressor with manifold. The bracket will hold the manifold too, correct?

 

Yes the manifold will fit right on the front side of this mount. Here is a photo of the manifold attached below.


Secondly I am currently SOLD OUT of my mounts at the moment. Production is taking a bit longer than normal with everything going on. I will have a new batch of mounts in about 5 weeks as of now. Hopefully sooner!
I will add you to my list and I can contact you once the shipment of new mounts has arrived to see if your still interested! Thank you!

 

Fresh new batch of Compressor mounts are IN STOCK and ready to ship. Thanks for your patience!

 

I'm seriously wondering if this one from NAPA will fit.

How do i get one of these brackets?

Thank you Bob! I’ve also just got my website up and running. BannockBuilt. I’m having a HOLIDAY SALE right now. Can use discount code BB30 for $30 off Compressor mounts. Thank you everyone for the support!
Please feel free to send me a PM with any questions.

 

Appreciate it @Bannock452 just ordered mine

 

Hey folks, so I received my dual compressor, and I received my Bannock mount. Now I am waiting on a long hose because I want to route an air hose to a second hookup on my rear bumper. Does anyone make some sort of adapter/mount that I can use by just drilling a hole in the stock rear bumper (or near it)? I'm looking for something that is not very noticeable, not something bulky like the ARB remote kit that I see lots of people selling. I'd like to find something closer to this but I really think the rear bumper would be an ideal location. It can't stick out where someone will step in it though. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Tons of info in this thread from Tacoma World.

That's perfect thanks Drainbung!

 

So, i'm reading that I may need to cool the air off so it doesn't melt my hoses. I wasn't planning to install a tank, should I buy the ARB manifold kit, or a small tank, or just yolo it?

 

I'm running an ARB Single on my Tacoma which comes with the manifold and that lil bastid gets hot. I'm sure if you took the time to run the hoses away from the compressor you'd be fine. You can always add the manifold later if it blows a line.

 

I would rather pay a bit now than having a failure in the field. Do you reckon a manifold will fix the heat issue or do you think I should add a tank?

 

I made my own bracket that mounts to the rear fender support.

 

I went ahead and added the manifold then an 18" braided leader line between the manifold and the first hose coupling so hopefully this will cool things enough to not melt the air hose. I'm a bit surprised on how difficult it was to install the bannock mount, none of the bolt holes lined up, the arm bends didn't line up with the firewall, and the arms seemed to be the wrong length by over 1/2". I know he said we'd have to bend the arms a bit to get it to fit, I just had to bend things much more than expected. I assumed it would take me about 30 minutes just to install just the mount and it took well over two hours. Maybe the dimensions of my truck are a little different than everyone elses. Nevertheless I finally got it on, I'll work on the wiring tomorrow if the Cowboys don't make me drink too much tonight.

 

Bayrunner, btw I like your mount, I couldn’t make something as nice as that but I also have a concern about breaking it when off-road. I decided to do a bulkhead out of the rear bumper instead.

 

How about something like this one I mounted on my rear bumper? Not very obtrusive and pretty robust, don't think you would step on it and break it off.

 

That’s exactly what I ended up doing, I used the ARB quick connection though. Looks good

 

Has Florida done away with letters and numbers on license plates? That graphic sort of looks like a handgun with giant testicles.

 

Did he just edit it so we can't see his number?

 

Bingo! You got it! That's my vanity plate avatar "handgun with giant testicles".

Duh.

 

I finally got my last hoses installed and tested - no leaks, Loctite 545 is amazing.

 

Got one of these second hand, and got my twin air mounted! Man what a pain that back right hand bolt is lol.

I hope that none of the relays in that box under the compressor ever die!

NOTE: The instructions that I got say to remove the whole air box. This is not necessary. You just need to pull the top half and take the air filter out. You can totally get to everything with the lower half still bolted down, you just need a wobble adapter and socket extension.

 

I just got one of Bannock's brackets to mount an ARB twin. Bracket is great, very nice piece of gear! One of my sons (3 years old) helped me install and had a great time last weekend with me under the hood getting it mounted. I still need to wire it up and plumb air lines.

Couple tips on installing the Bannock bracket and the dual compressor others may find useful: Install the compressor onto the bracket before mounting the bracket to the truck. I thought the most efficient way to to do this is to connect the compressor to the bracket with one bolt only until you get the bracket solidly mounted. I installed the bolt in the slot closest to the firewall on the passenger side of the bracket. This allows you to install the bracket and compressor as a combined unit (much easier than separate) but still allows you to swivel the compressor for reaching the backside of the compressor and connecting the wiring harnesses. Once the bracket is mounted to the truck and you connect the harnesses, you can get the remaining 3 bolts started from the underside of the bracket and tightened without too much trouble. The idea of trying to connect those harnesses before mounting the whole thing seemed problematic and trying to get all 4 of those bolts started and torqued from the underside of the bracket after it's in place seemed like a hard way to go, as well. I didnt get any sort of install manual from Bannock so that's what I came up with. They may recommend something similar, I dunno?

Can't wait to wire it up and plumb the air lines!

 

Thank you for the nice write up of your install!
First I apologize for forgetting the install instructions in your box. I normaly send that with each mount but I must have missed that one. So sorry for that! I plan to add the install instructions to my website so people can reference back online a little easier than paper. Hopefully that will help everyone when doing the challenging install.
Thanks again for the support and I still have plenty of mounts in stock and ready to ship!

 

It was no big deal on the install instructions, no worries! Great mount. Only thing I would suggest is you could remove about an inch worth of material from the "lip" on the passenger's side, front corner on the mount. This would allow you to get a box wrench on that mounting bolt and get a full range of motion without having to tighten it like and 1/8 turn at a time. Not sure if that makes sense but it's nitpick anyway. You make a solid mount that does it's job well so you probably have a reason that material is there anyway. Thanks for the support!

Over the weekend I had to pull the whole thing out so I could properly install the air fittings on the compressor. I needed to pop that metal cover off the compressor unit so I could attach a 90 degree swivel directly into the unit. The wrench flats on that 90 fitting end up below the metal cover on the compressor once you start threading it in so in order to tighten properly, I had to uninstall and reinstall the whole mount and compressor again. Doh!

Honestly it wasn't that big of a deal and I reinstalled the mount and compressor the way I described in my previous post. Took me about half the time as the first go around. I feel intimately familiar with the mounting/install now

 

Hey Bannock its been a minute but just wanted to say thank you again. the bracket is still holding up great and compressor is still going hard !
