Clearance - EPIC Kraken Tire Inflation System GEN 1.5 for 2018+ Jeep Wrangler & Gladiator (JL/JT)

We found some New-Old-Stock of OG Kraken Mounting Brackets during our Q2 Inventory Count and we're looking to clear them out at or below cost!

We're calling these our GEN 1.5 Kraken System kits, which are compatible with both Jeep JL/JT Manual and Power Seats. Each GEN 1.5 kit will include a set of our latest Deep Dive Slim Air Chucks and one of our Compressor Protection Plates. These GEN 1.5 kits are only compatible with the ARB Classic Twin Air Compressor (#CKMTA12), they are not compatible with the ARB Brushless Twin Air Compressor (#CKBLTA12).

If ordered with the Pressure Control Upgrade Option, the ARB Pressure Control Manifold will come pre-assembled onto the Compressor Mounting Bracket and pressure tested.

Works in all JL and JT Jeeps, including those with Power-Adjustable Seats.

Release the Kraken! Don't be a chump and air-up your tires one at a time... air-up all four tires at once with our EPIC Kraken Air-Inflation System. The Kraken System has been in the wild for 4+ years with 1,000s of happy Jeepers. Please take a look at the videos and information provided below to see why the Kraken is the premier air-up solution for your Jeep. 

The EPIC MFG team has put together a form-fitting mounting system that elegantly tucks your ARB Classic Twin Compressor under the front passenger-side seat in your Jeep - a space that is otherwise unused. With simple quick-connect fittings, air lines are easily plumbed inside of the vehicle to provide compressed air to both sides of the vehicle for easy and fast inflation of your four tires simultaneously. All GEN1.5 Kraken kits include a full set of our upgraded Deep Dive Slim Closed-Flow Air-Chucks!

Kit Contents:

1. Front Passenger-side Seat Compressor Mounting Bracket.
2. Front Driver-side Seat Air Bulkhead Mounting Bracket.
3. Compressor Air Intake Filter Protection Plate.
4. Two Pre-Assembled Dual Tire Hose Whips with Deep Dive Slim Air Chucks.
5. Pre-Assembled Plug & Play Power Switch Wiring Harness.
   
6. Tire Hose Storage Bag w/ Hose Divider, courtesy of our friends at Adventure Trail Gear.
7. Everything needed for a tidy installation: air lines, fittings, crimp terminals, electrical components and cross-over tubes - no trips to the hardware store necessary!
8. A nifty, high-quality 3M reflective Kraken decal to show your friends you know what's up.

Using only the very best hardware, the mounting plates/brackets are anodized aluminum, and laser-etched for style and durability. All air fittings and tubing are of superb quality. There simply is not a better 4-tire inflation system available for your Jeep. Ask your mom - she knows. 

This is a no-drill installation and we've simplified the electrical preparation component of the installation as much as possible, with inclusion of Pre-Assembled Power Switch Wiring Harness (ARB Classic Compressor).

You will need to supply your own ARB #CKMTA12 Classic Twin Air Compressor, which includes the appropriate compressor power wiring harness, power rocker switch and assorted mounting hardware.

In our testing, Classic ARB Twin Compressor owners can expect to inflate four 37" tires simultaneously from 12PSI to 32PSI in about 7 minutes or less!
