What frequency is it ?


It goes 25.015-28.305 with 10kHz steps

They don't sell them anymore and the ones I have seen on ebay are expensive.

Ok so Iron Man got back with me and has agreed to replace the shocks and as a sign of good gesture new springs to boot. I really wanted a refund honestly to get something better, but after being on the vehicle 1.5 years it is reasonable to not refund the money. I have been pretty content with them especially for the price up until they failed. The guy told me the new shocks have better welding and are less likely to fail in the same way.
So my conclusion good shocks for the price. Good customer service. The guy was super nice (and the accent sounded like he was an Aussie import to the US) Americans love Aussie accents lol. I now have some shocks Ill put on with my factory springs until I get my front bar upgraded (it will be heavier) for the iron man B springs. I will just check bushings and all every 3 months or so to make sure I don't get left stranded again.

Thanks me too. They should last another 1&1/2 years minimum. Then, I'll be looking for something better.
I have got to get on making a tool box and improving my front bumper now.

It isn't the welding but the bush failure that causes them to snap, in 09 when there wasn't as much gear available we found that ome and genuine bushes were the only ones to last on a mine site.

Yes it was the bushing that failed on both. So if these are the same I expect similar results in about a year and a half, but I hope I'm wrong. I'll be checking and keep y'all updated.

been working on my bull bar. I never was 100%pleased with it so, I went about modifying it. I am pretty pleased with the progress so far. I'll post up more when done.

All painted up and ready. Improved approach angle to where the tow hooks would be the first thing to hit. Short of cutting them off and cutting my frame short not much can be done on the approach.

Nice work mate I've been thinking about chopping up. My iron man bar for a while now might have to get the grinder out now.

Yeah man it went smother than I thought it might. And I'm really happy with it. I have to trim some of my wheel well now because it is catching wind and brushing the tire.

Selling the Goose. Moving back to the USA. It's sad day for me lux, but I'm looking forward to getting an early Bronco, maybe 78-79.
