Air compressors what to buy

Matt

I hope otherwise I've fallen in love again... LOL

Just got one of the new in the box ARB one ,, like it works great fast neat but watch the fingers the connection get HOT.

Matt, I was in the4 same boat about 5 years ago. Bought a Big Red and apart from getting hot, I have no complaints.

If you are not in a hurry ask the same question in 2 months time. ;-)

G'day Matt,
Yep Richards done the right thing as I now have the new ARB rip snorter. Fastest, smallest,large output, and best of all, made in OZ.
I previously had the old ARB, being reliable but a tad slow.
EG : Xmas trip came out of bush and pumped up 6 tyres from 25lbs to 45 in 6 mins. (all of them) I was impressed.
The price is the same as old model.
You will probably want their hose kit as well, although if you hunt around and check suppliers, you will save quite a few dollars there if you make up yourself. Make sure hose is long enough to get to a trailer as well. Ask for Cobra clips to clamp hoses.(At ENZED hoses store)
Good luck

Well on the weekend , was out beach driving with some others
and when it came time to fill up-out came my compressor 72L min,
by the time I had done 2 tyres,my mate who had an endless air style
a/c compr-(home made) filled his 4 tyres ,our other mates 4 tyres
and one of my front ones.with a casual grin towards me.

Ive had a Maxair for a couple of years and it works well.
Takes about 12 mins to do 4 x 33 inch tyres after a beach run.
Its got s 5 year warranty but I doubt Ill need it.

Matt,

Seeing as you have a Patrol with a TD42, build an Endless Air. 10 times faster than anything else and can work out cheaper as well.

How to build an Endless Air

Easy to get parts for, can replace the whole compressor for $20-$50 if the old one packs it in, run air tools (with tank fitted), seat beads, inflate blowup boats, air matresses etc

You wont be disappointed.

We have the latest big red under the bonnet and it certainly works better than the one we have worn out. But we also carry one of the Bushrange Super Max compressors and it is excellent. We put it up against the latest from ARB during a recent training session and it one by a tyre. Very quick and it has proven highly reliable during very hot weather where the big red thermal cut out cut in and the bush ranger kept going. The air temperature on the day was in excess of 42C.

It is not cheap but I suggest you consider it as one of your options
