Best 4×4 Air Compressor – Bushranger Maxair 3 Test & Review
We head up Bribe Island to take a look at the Max Air III Compressor from Bushranger 4x4 Gear. This portable air compressor has been developed to support all your air-supply needs, inflating and deflating quickly all while being easy to use. Whilst on a lot of our beach trips we’re talked about the importance of decompressing your tyres for beach driving. One thing we haven’t talked about is pumping them back up. We take the Bushranger Maxair 3 out for a spin to show you all the bells and whistles whilst we test out the new product.
Enormously important as it’s not only really bad for your tyres to drive on bitumen road or low tide sand with low pumped tyres, it can also be quite dangerous! If you on doing a lot of serious 4WDriving, it’s a good idea to buy an air compressor, and that’s where the Max Air iii comes in.
