The main harness is already buried and can’t be seen—well a lump of the excess main wiring harness can be seen in the photo.
The “mess” is just the switch wiring. I cleaned that up today.

Apologies I stand corrected
At first glance—you made an accurate assessment. I failed to mention that lump!
They maybe the control circuit wires, not the power circuit. The power cable should look like the fused cables in the top left of this image.
I see this compressor has a 40A fuse. So did you use the spare 40A fused auxillary wires that are in the battery compartment when optioned with high load wiring.
I connected directly to the starter battery.
Well, I didn’t show the attachment being installed! Kind of important. I put the quick attach ARB.
Hi ethree, That is a very nice install and takes up minimum space too. Did you purchase the ARB from Blacksheep or just the install brackets?
Just the brackets. I picked up the compressor for just over $600. Seemed senseless to have them send me the compressor back across the Atlantic and pay customs on it. I think they offer that bundle for European/African customers out of convenience.
Very nice install , tempted to do that myself. Where do you store your jack now
That looks great!

I run 2 single ARB compressors under the Ineos on a bash plate I made between the chassis and sill panel, and separately wired, so faster, and it saves carrying a second compressor for redundancy when traveling in remote locations solo, so I would say both.
Dual pistons - faster and less stress on the system is what I've always believed.
Really nice job. Thanks for the photo. I'd like to do exactly the same, please can you advise how far the compressor extends beyond the side panelling and also please could you share some photos or a sketch of how you connected the compressor to the Grenadier's wiring system? Many thanks
Just FYI: The ARB single compressor has a 40 amp fuse, the ARB dual compressor has 40 amp x 2.
So for someone new to electrics - does this mean it should come off an 80A fused circuit or a 40A?
The supplied cabling comes wired as 2 separate 40 amp wires, but mine is to be installed this month and I am expecting both wires will be wired into the 7 stud busbar using a 80 ZCase Mega fuse in the spare slot, or the auto electrician will directly connect both wires (and supplied fuses) to the main battery aux post.
