Thread: Light use offroad kit and bushranger max air

Sounds good
try this guy out, I brought some gear off him and he runs a good srvice

Compressors 12V

Your list sounds like a good start,,
just remember to keep all those heavy items locked away/tied down,,,

oh! and research snatch points on the D3 too,,,

Hey mate,

With the UHF, a great place to buy them is on Prestigecom.net.au Best Prices on UHF CB Radio, GPS Navigation and Communications, Express delivery Australia wide they have really good prices on GME's and Uniden UHF's and you can get some in a combo with aerial.

If you want an aerial, i recommend this package Uniden UH015sx 6db Antenna Bundle [UH015SX/AT] - $359.00 : Prestigecom.net.au Best Prices on UHF CB Radio, GPS Navigation and Communications, Express delivery Australia wide or if you just want the unit without the aerial then i think it is only 300 which is a hell of alot cheaper than what they sell for in stores (400).

I bought a uniden without the aerial and my mate bought on with the aerial and they are both fantastic units.

Good Luck,

Shamo

Thanks for the replies so far. I'm pretty set on the max-air given the largely positive reviews it gets, the 5yr warranty, history and availability of parts and service. Should the be last compressor I'd need to buy. Not so concerned with it being the fastest or cheapest.

Mostly wondering peoples experience with discountcaraccesories.com.au

I carry a spare filter holder and filters for my Max-Air to ensure its not run without a filter as the holder is only plastic and can easily get bumped.

I have had a Max Air Bushranger compressor for some years. I have never needed after sales service as nothing has gone wrong with it. It seems to be well made and good value for money. The only real downside with the MaxAir is that the gauge is nowhere near accurate.

I narrowed my choice down to the MaxAir or the previous model ARB, and went for the MaxAir for the greater capacity at similar price. On reflection, I think that the ARB idea of mounting the compressor inside a protective box was probably a bigger advantage than I thought at the time, but the canvas carry bag is still quite acceptable.

Hope this helps.

Max-Air is a great unit. I own one, but have replaced the silly plastic hose with a better one from Purple Pig, and deleted the inline gauge. Consider also the ARB CKMA12.

Don't forget a first-aid kit, fire extinguisher and flat plate for the jack.

The 4X4 Show is coming up soon, often a good place to bargain.

Sounds like you are on the right track.
Might be worth looking at a tyre deflator to make things easy. I'm usually still using a stick.
Also get a base plate for your jack. Even a lump of wood will do. Can be a god send when you need it. Also those tyre pluggers can get you out of trouble for those times your tyres decide not to play anymore.
