Finally finished off my compressor install with a switch/coupler bracket that my friend with a laser cutter made for me.

Curious why you chose the driver's side? Is it because it is in direct line to run wires to the battery? I would think that one could tap into the lines on the passenger side.

Those pre-run wires are way too small to power a 60A compressor. I ran a 4 AWG cable from the battery complete with a mains fuse and cut-off switch in the engine bay as well as a fused distribution block behind panel where the compressor is. I've got other posts in this thread showing the other components.

I hadn't looked into the wiring that is run to the passenger's side. Just trying to make sense as AAL has the single compressor that is mounted in the tailgate. I presume the wires for it are run either to the already existing wires on the passenger side or run side-by-side those wires back to the battery.

Either way, clean install by you and I like the premise of mounting it in the rear cargo. My hope is to get rid of the subwoofer and use that space behind the cargo wall.

I used the following products from AAL for this project:
https://americanadventurelab.com/product/battery-cutoff-and-maxi-fuse-bracket-kit/
https://americanadventurelab.com/product/rear-bronco-dual-arb-compressor-mount-drivers-side/

And while I didn't use this product:
https://americanadventurelab.com/product/wiring-kit-rear-mount/
I did the same thing.

Finally added the Mabett cargo area side panel protectors. Took me far too long to get around to it!

I bought these awhile back. Great concept, but the adhesive for the velcro does not stick to the cargo sidewalls, after a week in hot sun and/or dusty trail environments.

Yeah, I’ve found that anything that mounts on interior panels with adhesive… just don’t bother.

Installed the new Form Lighting Sequential LED Projector Headlights. Really like that start up animation and how bright they are compared to the signature lights. Also love that you can choose to have Amber DRLs or White DRLs.

Had physical therapy this morning after shoulder surgery last Friday. Still need some pain meds to get by so no driving for me. Not that I could drive a manual anyway...
My daughter came out and picked me up, went to PT with me and cracked on me with the therapist, then drove me home in the snow. She's almost 20 and can drive a stick well , and had driven in snow for years at this point, buy first time driving the bronco in the snow. Did great! Proud of that kid.
