[SuperiorEngineering]

tho how do u mount the king stuff to your gq???
any one know a place wh sells a adaptor as such or a weld on replacment mount?

radflow do a bolt in remote res for gq, there around the 400 odd mark ea i think

purchase the kings shocks valved and with the correct fittings to suit a patrol.
We should have them for sale next week if all goes well, we have a meeting with kings on monday.

just clocked over 5000 kms on toughdogs im lovin them the car handles so good (all things concidered) gonna buy some 4 the back once i get my vl turbo motor in

Mousie where are these bolt in radflow kits from?
ive googled and couldn't find them

Unfortunatly as good as i think the kings are they have priced themself out of the market of general wheelers and tourers with there international price fixing.

With ordering fox's from DownSouth and other US vendors has anyone or does anyone foresee issues with warranty when buying high end shocks like fox or kings?
They are so easy to change valving and maintain etc yourself i hardly see the dealer being here in Aus as an advantage unless they are prone to warranty issues (i cant imagine shocks that race KOH and such events are regularly failing on recreational vehicles)

ps if anyone has played with these shocks on an 80 or 105 and has some base valving specs i could use to start with and doesn't mind sharing im all ears

if you google fox shocks in landcruiser, it will come up with an ih8mud thread from the us.

as for warranty, 30,000kms now on my 2.0s, theyve been hammered hard (i mean hard) and they are still fine. revalving costs the same as if i bought them in aus and for the price the aussies want its still cheaper to get them here and then have to revalve if needed.

greg. i meant $300 as in $300 per shock, rereading now after so long i realise how bad punctuation and a slow brain can lead to a poor message carriage.

nice try piglett but i beleive this bloke wanted an unbiased opinion on shocks
LOL

For my 2 bobs worth a have had efs in my cruiser for about 4 years and they have stood up wel, l like you my friend i am looking around and have heard a few bad reports on the TD jobs , anyway i cant justify 1100 bucks on the big boring have to get under my truck and root round in the mud and shit to get a decent ride when getting back on the blacktop shocks so it looks like i will be heading down the EFS road again im not real big on the rubber boots either i want steel between my shock pistons and the great outdoors so it looks like the elite from efs 560 bucks for all four for a troll under 4 inch lift i reckon you cant beat that with a big stick....

WHAT DO YOU MEAN??? HOW MUCH MORE UNBIASED DO YOU WANT ??
Did you not READ the bit where I said "DONT BELIVE ME!! COME & TRY THEM YOURSELF, Ill LOAN YOU MY CAR" & YOU BE THE JUDGE..
I only offered my car for people to try them for their selfs becausethe shocks are a good product with good warrinty at a reasonable price. So rather than listening to a salesperson giving you all the blablabla facts & figures (who probably has munros under his commadore) you can be be the judge.
