I see no reason that you couldn't mount it upside down. The mounting bracket is 1/4" so surely strong enough.

I've had this unit completely soaked while mudding and river crossing. Yet, there is a rubber plug on top of the unit, this plug keeps water out of the unit and must be removed to connect the remote. Therefore, if the unit is submerged when trying to use it, NO, it is not proof. If you are putting the kind of money in a vehicle that will allow it to be submerged beyond the bumper, don't skimp on the winch. If you want to go Smittybilt, go with the x2o line or spend the extra $$$ for Warn.

I don't think so. Neither the compressor or the guage/ switch are in a water proof enclosure.

I would not recommend buying this unit. I am on my second one and they do not keep the product cold. As for outdoors I have no idea the compressor is in the back and could be damaged by rain adverse weather.

2WD and not waterproof. The motor is not completely enclosed, but it probably could be run in a shower, but I won't want to run it thru a puddle too deep. It's a great truck.

I have not done it, but you are supposed to be able to mount the compressor unit on the roof my understanding is that yes you can.

Thank you for your inquiries. This compressor is not a sealed compressor and is not recommend to be installed in the wheel well. The engine compartment or inside the vehicle will be a better choice for the install of this compressor. Please do not run the compressor without the engine running. Thank you

It has everything you need but no compressor. It comes with a valve stem thing you can put literally any where. I found a hole in my frame and mounted it there and when you want to put air in it it's like filling up a tire. It is easy to add a compressor later in time. Although if I run a compressor and tank you will need a deal like a gauge with a switch thing on it I got from firestone that lets you controll the air pressure in the cab which I think was like 60 bux. But like I said you can always do that later down the road.

hi, I install it on a toyota 4runner, trumpets are out front of the radiator and I have not had any problems with rain or moisture or heat, but the compressor is inside the truck.

Yes it is waterproof. I mounted it on my ATV and used it outside in rain and snow to operate a winch.

I installed the compressor under the driver side on the frame of 2012 Ford F250. But I made a cover over it just to protect it from the elements. The cover is open on the back side.It works well.

No. The compressor is mounted to the bottom of the unit. The manufacturer's literature recommends keeping the unit horizontal and not moving it more than 15 degrees from horizontal. I believe running the unit in the horizontal position would allow the oil in the compressor to run out and cause damage to the compressor.

I have mine mounted upside down under the seat of my truck. The tray inside slides over the mounting studs OK, and the door now flips up instead of down, but no problems operating it. You can also buy a bracket that will let you mount it right side up.

Obviously it's made to be mounted out side. I don't think it could withstand constant water exposure but occasional moisture, wind blown rain, doesn't bother it. It's battery powered so if you are concerned about a shock factor there is none.
