Ironman brand torsion bars?

[PA_JERO]

Didn't you and LT meet those guys in person at the Overland Expo? I think it was after that when I found them selling all their stuff on eBay, unfortunately they had already sold all of what they had for Monteros stateside when I was in the market to try them out. They informed me that they might not be getting anymore ever, seems to be the way the Montero aftermarket goes unfortunately. Anyone hear from TJM USA recently? They called me when they opened up Stateside again to confirm fitment of the Blister fender snorkel and I never heard from them again.

Yes, a few years back, those dudes were cool. We talked about monteros alot and different builds. Also wished them luck on montero products because montero guys are either broke or outrageously cheap. Its really our own fault when aftermarket support falls or fails. To much money spent on what "looks" cool and not enough on the full functionality of the truck, or building for longevity and reliability. Maybe ADD will change that once and for all.

these boys in
AZ have it going on.
the cost of new is reviving the old.
the old need parts.
the old need love
and these cats are giving the love at a fair price
hats off!


When i was at the monastery recently, a fellow from finland was there. he saw my battered old rig and expressed deep appreciation for its famous capabilities.
in his country, and the world he had traveled, the rigs are respected if not revered for their reputations. they are kept alive and used a lot more than they are here.

lights: par56's in motorcycle headlight pods on an empty country road is as close to happy as i can get in lighting.

the lights with glare in the darkened desert seem to me, to be kinda counterproductive [ there is just so much space to light up they don't seem to be what the hype proclaims.

here in the dark forests of the NW a pod of lights like that would be quite useful.

Quality has a real place in the market. Maybe our job when we find something that's built exceptionally well is to share that experience and why the extra cost is worth it to us; and that will lead to better success for the retailers and manufacturers bringing those better quality goods to market.

Sometimes it takes a threat with a sharp object to make people realize that stuff. Haha. Don't mean that literally, but that's what it feels like. Quality is priceless, especially for those who take a vehicle and push the limits constantly and travel to very remote areas. I'm sure people will eventually understand that, just as long as it's before a catastrophic failure.

Sorry to derail your post. Haha

I've had conversations in the past with them and looked at there product for a while. Just really hard to get. Like said in previous posts, Run the ironmans, you will be happy. I was talking to them about running some of there shocks to try and test and give a review on, the good, the bad, and the ugly. But my source I lost touch with and went the bilstein route a while back. Happy with my choice.

It's a poor product with a poor reputation in australia.
