Terrain Tamer have added to their range of Fortified Shock Absorbers, releasing a new part suited to a wide range of Toyota  Hilux 25/26 and 125/125 models.

Terrain Tamer’s Fortified Shock Absorbers are their heaviest duty model to date. A monotube design, they were initially  released for a range of Toyota Land Cruiser 76/78/79 series and Nissan Patrol GU/GQ vehicles, offering a weight capacity of up to five tonnes.

More than most other places in the world, 4WD operators traveling through the Australian outback are faced with harsh  terrains, extreme conditions, and often dangerously high climates. Suspension that not only gets you out onto the tracks, but is durable and strong enough to last the trip and make it back home, is a non-negotiable.

Less susceptible to shock fade, the monotube design of the Terrain Tamer Fortified Shock Absorber features a single  cylinder, separated into two chambers, one which holds gas, and another with fluid, where the piston and shaft move. These  are separated by a 60mm free-floating piston and a double u-cup and wiper seal, which work to stop the gas and oil from mixing.

This separation means that there is higher gas pressure and no foaming or aeration within the shocks, delivering better  responsiveness and offering better heat dissipation, with a unit that ultimately runs cooler in off-road conditions and extreme temperatures, such as those encountered in the Australian outback.

Along with these benefits, Fortified Shock Absorbers boast a large 2.5inch bore diameter for larger oil volume, as well as a  22mm Chrome Hardened Shaft and induction hardened Chrome piston rod, combining to provide a firmer ride, and more ride control when towing or fully loaded.

Terrain Tamers Fortified Shock Absorbers are ISO 9001:2008 Certified and offer a three-year/100,000km non-commercial warranty.
