ARB Agile Offroad instructions

For anyone wondering the instructions and the entire kit is very easy to follow. Hardest part is pulling the granny apart, the compressor and lines are super easy, seriously plug and play for all the wiring.

ARB Agile Offroad instructions

This is a fantastic instruction manual.

But, the dismounting is only valid for a single battery Grenadier. Dismounting panel 2 is impossible in the "two-battery" setup. I have a similar setup of the RB compressor (like some others) but I did cut panel 2 in two pieces to be able to dismount it!

Removing the underseat trim panels / accessing or removing the batteries

So further to this post: Post in thread 'Removing the underseat trim panels / accessing or removing the batteries' https://www.theineosforum.com/threads/removing-the-underseat-trim-panels-accessing-or-removing-the-batteries.12412649/post-1333202065 I've now received answers back from CTEK...

I removed the second battery, I think they were 13mm bolts holding the mounts down. The CTek must disconnect power when the positive lead was disconnected because I didn’t have any current, the light turned red and I didn’t burn down the truck or house. Even with no current/voltage read I was nervous as I haven’t had a dual battery setup before. That battery was HEAVY but I got by with just twisting it sideways, didn’t have to pull all the way out.

Sorry, for the dumb question, but the Agile set is useable/mountable with the second battery installed?

Well, I was looking at the pictures, and at first sight yes!

[EDITED] But you should know that there are 12V wires available at that location (at least in MY dual battery car, and most others) for a compressor mount, therefore you don't need the 40A fuse of Agile, neither need to connect it as they did.
But their solution is nice!

 

[AZGrenadier]

Their solution is pretty slick. It would be more trouble to not use their setup. Also leaves the 40a for something else. Not sure what yet but I am sure something can use the power.

Any feedback from those who have installed on the heat generated when in use? Any causes for concern? I like the setup however my only concern is the lack of ventilation in this area, and the heat generated alongside the battery (I have factory dual battery setup). Any feedback would be helpful.

 

[Asnes]

X2 on feedback please. How long to inflate a 33 from 15 to 35?

 

[AZGrenadier]

Took about 10 min for stock size 18-36ish. Definitely hot to touch but I didn’t get any readings. I left the seat up when using for the heat. Back of the second battery was warm but definitely not hot. Probably not as warm as a regular under hood battery in Arizona. But again, I don’t have any actual measurements. I did just upgrade to 285/70r17. I’ll time it again. I think I have an infrared for the bbq so I’ll see what I can do.

Thanks for this. 10 min for 1 tire or all 4? I assume one…. This is helpful. I had a viaair in my pickup truck that I used for towing to air up the rears when I had the trailer attached. It did a good job but corroded internally some and I had to disassemble / rebuild it.

 

[AZGrenadier]

I am not 100% on the 10 min but it was for all 4. This was for the stock tires. Overall it is a pretty well thought out plug and play kit. Seriously the hardest part was taking the rear panel off to run the lines. I haven’t used my home compressor for anything since installing this.

 

[RJCali]

Has anyone seen any alternatives to this under bench ARB compressor mount? I don't want to do the under front seat or under hood mount locations. I called Agile and they won't split a set to just provide the Mounting Bracket / Hardware. Super disinterested customer service rep. I don't need the compressor and I don't plan to use the outlet location the kit is set up for so most of the kit would be throw away. Can't believe they won't sell me just the bracket with a nice markup!
