ARB DIGITAL TYRE INFLATOR & AIR PRESSURE GAUGE

ON AN average 4x4 adventure, punters are likely to cross all sorts of terrain – mud, water, rocks, dust – so it pays to carry the right gear to keep an eye on tyre pressures. ARB’s digital tyre inflator and air pressure gauge makes it simple to check pressures and alter it via simple operation. The unit features an easy-to-read, large LCD screen, an ergonomic thumb-operated inflator lever, a bleed button, a clip-on chuck, and a battery capacity indicator. The pressure range is: 0-200 psi, 0-414 bar, 0-1400 kPa, or 0-14 kgF/cm2.

MAXTRAX

WE’VE done countless off-road recoveries here at 4X4 Australia, and the consensus always seems to be that a set of MaxTrax will get you out of trouble better than other recovery board. The lightweight boards measure up at 150mm long X 330mm wide x 85mm tall, so they can easily be stored in your fourbie’s tray, or on a roof rack for easy access. The clever design will clear you from mud, snow or sand!
