Thread: Light use offroad kit and bushranger max air

I bought this ARB portable - excellent.

The Max Air is not a bad unit (had 4 for work vehicles), but the hose is useless and needs a better hose.
Personally I would go for a good Thomas such as a Blue Tongue if you can afford it. I have had mine for around 15 years and it has not missed a beat.

my lockers are plumbed to a max air, i also have an outlet on the bullbar to inflate tyre etc, never had a problem

D3 already has a rear recovery hook. The above is useful if you have the Mitch Hitch. If you have the Plough, you'll be bogged anyway....

There you go then - the D2 hasn't.

What about this kit... Mitchell Bros 4x4 and more - Online 4wd Store - Home page

I've only just found it so I'd love to hear if anyones tried it.

I think I'll stick with a portable. At least that will work on a future vehicle. Seems like an expensive option for some hose and fittings though..

Does anyone have any comments on the following recovery kit (for occassional, perhaps never use..)

Nobles make good kit. They are really a hoist company so know this sort of stuff very well.
