DV8 Offroad Engine Bay Compressor Mount for Jeep JL and JT

The DV8 Offroad Engine Bay Compressor Mount (CMJL-01) positions an ARB twin compressor (CKMTA12) inside the engine bay of a 2018–2023 Jeep Wrangler JL or 2020–2023 Jeep Gladiator JT, keeping the compressor accessible and protected without consuming cab space. Fitment is limited to vehicles equipped with the 3.6L engine; the mount does not fit 2.0L or Diesel variants, 2024 model years, or vehicles retaining factory fender liners.

Out of the Cab, Into the Engine Bay

Mounting an ARB twin compressor inside the cab means noise on every inflation cycle and a unit occupying floor or cargo space that could be used for gear. The DV8 Offroad Engine Bay Compressor Mount relocates the compressor to a dedicated position in the engine bay, where it runs outside the passenger compartment. The result is a quieter interior and a cleaner cab layout without sacrificing compressor accessibility.

Straightforward Installation

The mount bracket is engineered for the specific geometry of the JL and JT engine bay, so the installation process does not require cutting, fabricating, or sourcing additional hardware. All mounting hardware is included. The bracket is also designed to work alongside DV8 inner fenders, so owners who have already installed or plan to install DV8 inner fenders do not need to choose between the two upgrades.

Durable Finish Built for the Engine Bay Environment

The bracket ships with a powder coat black finish, the same standard DV8 finish used across the JL and JT accessory line, which resists the heat, moisture, and road debris exposure that an engine bay mounting location involves. No additional finishing or painting is required before installation.

Features

• ARB CKMTA12 fitment: designed specifically to mount the ARB twin compressor (CKMTA12) in the engine bay.
• All hardware included: every fastener and bracket component needed for installation ships with the mount.
• Powder coat black finish: matches standard DV8 Offroad finish; no additional prep required.
• DV8 inner fender compatible: works alongside DV8 inner fenders without conflict.
• Engine bay location: keeps the compressor out of the cab, reducing interior noise during operation.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

This mount suits Jeep Wrangler JL (2018–2023) and Jeep Gladiator JT (2020–2023) owners running the 3.6L engine who have already purchased or plan to purchase an ARB twin compressor (CKMTA12) and want it mounted in the engine bay rather than inside the cab. It is a practical fit for overlanders and off-road drivers who want a clean cab and quieter interior during air-up cycles, and for those who have installed or plan to install DV8 inner fenders.

This mount does not fit Jeep Wrangler JL or Gladiator JT vehicles equipped with the 2.0L turbocharged or Diesel engines, nor does it fit 2024 model year vehicles of either nameplate. It is not compatible with factory fender liners, and it is not designed for any compressor other than the ARB CKMTA12 twin compressor. The ARB compressor itself is sold separately.
