Nice, I think your truck has all the mods I’d want to do and then some. Got any pics of the ARB compressor and dual battery cages mounted? (I’m assuming the compressor is in the engine bay and the batteries are in separate locations)

Also, I can finally answer this cause this week I got my compressor back in and front locker hooked up again after it being out for months (fucking work travel had me beat). The SLEE mount is a great solution for sure it's very stout but I may move the batteries and OGE mounts to the bed because I've got some major cracking in my core support and my fenders/wheel wells are starting to crack too. And I'm about to tub the front wheel wells so if I can get full travel with the tub and the compressor can stay I'll leave that there and still probably move the batteries back.

*ignore the wiring I have since re-did and put all the wires in sheaths and re-routed them*

Yeah my core supports were cracking too. I had to do some sheet metal repair and add braces

The core support cracks are mostly on the driver's side but the wheel well/fenders are fucked up on the passenger side from a really hard bottom out in DV. I'm looking at getting a bolt in solid piece core support and fender supports made by Steve at Dirt Designs, my buddy Alex had one made and it's very well built but I need to find a couple of other trucks that want one to bring the cost down.

Yea dude you have some of the gnarliest cracking I've ever seen on a truck haha but that's what DV washboard will do. If you're interested in getting a DD core support let me know I'm trying to find a few others that want one.

Looks great, I’m impressed they can shoehorn that compressor in there. I got a Slee bracket for the single compressor and drilled a few holes to mount the mini on it.
