ARB air lockers going in the front of the GU, my question is. Where do most run the locker air line through the firewall to get to an air compressor mounted under the drivers seat?

I was initially assuming the large grommet that most wiring goes though near the accelerator peddle wouldn't be a great idea due to having to bend the line sharply down, but now that i look it may not be so bad.

Where do the PROs run the air line?

There is another grommet in the same position on the passenger side that has less going through it.

Thanks Gee, It'll be a longer path to the compressor but my be less congestion and ultimately easier. I'll check it out.

As another option if you're worried about bending it just put a 90 degree brass elbow with push fittings on it- you can pick them up from almost any hydraulic or truck parts store- There are also plastic ones that are cheaper- They're all pressure rated to well above what you need as well, my old workplace used to spec them for brakes on semi trailers.

Mine is under the passenger seat. The air lines go through a grommet in the floor

When you take the front seat out, lift the carpet near the rear of the seat there is a grommet for cabling comes through the floor. Probably a good spot for your air lines.

Could try coming up through the hand brake cable grommet if your compressor is under the driver's seat.

one locker or two on the front

I used one of these under the seat years ago and ran tubing along chassis rail on existing pipe run.
