not sure how many people want to 'race' their 4wd's around the countryside? ...

Can I suggest that you lose watchers when you drive so fast in the demo? Show me some slow motion of the shocks working hard on corrugations and how they stay cooler; and the articulation but if you are going to jump the car to show how tough the gear is then I am not really interested. The last time I jumped an offroader it was the racing buggy and after that finally landed and settled I was glad I was wearing my brown trousers.

Yeah I have to say that video not only doesn't do it for me it turns me off a bit. Plenty of talk about tracks and beaches being closed to the public, why? Because people think that 4wdriving is about driving fast and spinning wheels and doing pretty much exactly the irresponsible things shown in that Video. If it was a comp truck on a track then that's different but you are promoting the average 4wd as a race truck, spinning wheels and hanging the ass out around corners.
Sorry but I give that video a big fat fail!
Cheers Andrew

Glad I'm not the only one. I left a comment on youtube for ARB, asking if they had heard of 'treading lightly'. The reply was it was OK because it was done on private property. I can't see how that makes it right.
hi the price of the shocks is it $550 + $845 for coil = $1395 for one side only??? i dont treating my prado like that but its good to see partially what the suspension will do, looking forward to more in-depth video's, at that price i might consider. Im not much for adding to much suffisticated gear on my car, (i dont need it really) but i believe you need good suspension.
With these under the old girl we might be able to keep up to Big Trev.
But only on private land with the landholders consent, running NOS and straight through exhaust.
