FORD BRONCO REAR CARGO COMPRESSOR MOUNT 2021+ Ford Bronco (4 door) Hard Top Only

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Installation Instructions:

• Step One: Park the vehicle on level surface, set the parking brake and disconnect battery terminals. Reference the compressor installation instructions for wiring the compressor. Power wires will need to be run from the Bronco’s battery or Switch System back to the cargo compartment. Considering the distance of the wire run, for the Twin ARB we recommend 6awg for the ground and 8awg for the power. Reference the ARB Installation Guide as we are not wiring experts.

• Step Two: Locate and remove the plastic trim panel on the passenger side under the roll bar. This panel covers the soft top mounting holes. You should be able to remove this by hand. If not, use a small plastic pry tool to pop it off.

• Step Three: With the two small stainless steel flathead bolts, attach the Desert Does It trim cover (13”x2” plate) to the backside of the Desert Does It main plate. There are two small threaded holes on the edge of the trim cover and corresponding countersunk holes on the main plate. The DDI logo faces up on the trim cover.

• Step Four: Next we will be attaching the spacers to the threaded holes where your soft top would be located. Each spacer is different so make sure these are installed in the correct location. They will be marked with 1, 2, and 3.. Front top will be #1. Back top will be #2 and bottom will be #3. Take your bolt and slide it through the spacer. Remove the backing on the sticky tape, then thread the bolt a couple turns into the correct location. Once this is done slide the spacer to the body and press firmly so that the spacer will stick tight. Once tight go ahead and remove the bolt.

• Step Five: Using Thread Seal Tape attach your Bulkhead Fitting to your compressor plate. Next using Thread Seal Tape, take one of your 90 degree fittings and attach it to the back side of the Bulkhead fitting. Attach the ¼” airline here.

• Step Six: Using Thread Seal Tape Attach your 90 degree fitting to your compressor.

• Step Seven: Take your 3 provided bolts and attach your Compressor plate to the 3 spacers (remember to feed your harness and airline through the open slot on the compressor plate). Tighten down.

• Step Eight: With the person helping you lift the air compressor up and attach your wiring harness and airline (remember to cut the airline to desired length). Once connected, push all the access wires and airline back inside the compressor plate. With the four (4) Security Bolts and security bit driver provided, attach your compressor to the correct aligning holes on the mounting plate. 

• Step Nine: MOUNTING SINGLE ARB COMPRESSOR. Reference ARB instructions and rotate the compressor head until it is horizontal and as low as possible. On the Desert Does It Compressor Mount, use the four threaded holes for mounting the Single ARB compressor. With provided hardware, bolt through the ARB bracket into the Desert Does It Compressor Mount.

• Step Nine: MOUNTING TWIN ARB COMPRESSOR.. On the Desert Does It Compressor Mount, you will be using the 4 top through holes to attach the ARB Compressor. Use the four provided security bolts and washers, bolt them in from the back side of the plate. **If desired, you can rotate the air outlet port on the compressor for more clearance. Reference ARB instructions (Orientating the Compressor Outlet). To get the most clearance, rotate the outlet port to the bottom of the compressor and feed the air hose under the compressor. 

• Step Ten: OPTIONAL FITTING KIT.  Install one 90 degree ¼ NPT fitting into the compressor. Install bulkhead fitting through Desert Does It Compressor Mount. Install remaining 90 degree 1/4 NPT fitting into bulkhead fitting. Cut the airline to desired length and install into each push to connect fitting. Be careful not to kink airline.

• Step Eleven: Wire compressor using directions provided by the compressor manufacturer.

• Step Twelve: Enjoy your onboard air!
