After another outback trip (
Simpson Desert) & the fact it is about to click over 300,000 kms, I think it is time to treat the Terrano 2 to new torsion bars & shock absorbers.
Does anybody have any recommendations or pitfalls in this regard?

Getting both shocks and torsion bars off the same manufacturer so the damping matches the spring rates is a good idea.
As to which brand ,price etc, thats up to you.
Additions such as bullbar, winch ,dual batteries may necessitate the heavier duty options.
goodluck

Hi shaker
I've got a T2 that actually gets a workout to- TJM do a set of bars for our car but I have not had to fit them yet. I'd be interested in how you go, I want to get a bit more clearance at the front end, bars are sagged a little i think.
how did you go on the desert crossing, I did it last June- french line, had a ball but found the front bottomed regularly

Pathfinder up to 1995 are the same ..... Tough Dog do a 27.5mm 'heavy duty' model to suit.

I can't believe a 'local tyre dealer' would need a listing! All he has to do is get the offset code of your wheels & order wheels to suit.
