Air Compressors

[Xtreme]

The advice given to me when I started 4 wheeling was get the best compressor you can afford, there is a useful article by 4wd action magazine, if you google search air compressor review it's about the first result. The review gives times to air up by different models.

I tried a cheap unit first, and it worked ok, I don't remember the brand, the only downsides were that it got really hot and after a while started to leak oil around the cylinder.

Based on the 4wd action review I looked closely at the Dr Air pro flow 150lt unit. Looked good and cost just over $200 on special at Auto Pro so I would have local support if anything went wrong. IMHO it is a good unit. I have aired up a lot of tyres with it, mine, mates and other peoples, even a motor home that had gone down a 4wd track and got stuck in soft sand.

I also have the Dr Air Pro FLow 150lt unit - great compressor so far gets a little hot but not too bad.
