I am is the fortunate position as one of the few that have been given a set of these shocks to test.
I will try them out on corrugated roads, on rock and mountains, on deep dune sand and in water.
I truely hope this is a South African product we can now all use and will will protect our vehicles when needed.

Great! Let us know how they perform.

Do you know if they have them available for the Patrol?

I dont know what the availability is like at the moment They only had the one for the Hardbody ready last week. It was fitted at Gabriel factory in Retreat.
Ask the dealers, i am sure they can get the answer for you.

I don't know Ian, :think:

They probably need to have them tested properly before fitting them to a Patrol. :eureka:

It is with a heavy heart that I offer my Patrol to have them tested on.

I just got this reply:

Morning Kobus

HDP will take a 2" lift. Unfortunately we currently do not make HDP for the Nissan Patrol. Development is due for next year.
