Is this a kit or is he just an incredibly skilled fabricator?
Open foam in lieu of gas pressure to take up dV as shock cycles.What's a foam cell?
A Ford? You clearly don't love me any moreMy bespoke Billie's have had an issue after 80,000km ish. Left rear shock weeping at the banjo joint. About 20,000km of that has been 4wd or rough track. I will see if the supplier wants to rebuild to find out why the seal has gone, if not I will do the rebuild and just use Ar instead of N to gas them up. Haven't lost much oil or pressure but after 400km odd of corrugations this trip the weeping continues, and the shock is still leaking too. I think the remote reservoir may have moved putting some stress on the hose and banjo but a pull down will reveal all.
I have some foam cells being revalved to take over when I get back to cover me while these are rebuilt.
Anyway I found a new car for @Cardy George.
Maaaaaate, GT replica. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Don't drive it. There was an HD in there too, excellent condition, just needs a polish. Like that XW (?).A Ford? You clearly don't love me any more
Ironman...Yeah but more details brand model?
I had custom Bilstein's on the missus Prado, at around the same 80-90k I dropped it in for a service at the place that fitted the shocks/springs and they told me 2 were stuffed. 3.5yrs... were outside warranty and they would fit 2 new ones.My bespoke Billie's have had an issue after 80,000km ish.
I know where you got them... valving wasn't changed from factory. Probably two or three places can do those 'sealed' units with a slug of liquid N2. Mine is Schrader valved in the remote. There may be some very good big bore bypass foam cells coming... Juicy.Yes these came from some suspension joint in Melbourne, they were custom valved and stroked for the Prado.
The 'fix' was the same stroke shock that was used on the Cruiser, seems good now.
I have put RidePro on my current 200.
I used to be big on 4WD shit, not so much anymore. My goto place here in Adelaide is bloody awesome, they will tell you they are not the cheapest but the whole family works for the company and they are about the best in the state.I know where you got them... valving wasn't changed from factory.

So it is the driver, and not the car?
I'm not a car geek at all, but that was cool. Road registered too. How will the bike rack affect the wing's performance?
