If you had stone guards, then you could fit monotube shocks...

That should get the tounges flapping with the Bilstien crowd.
No offense meant but after the damage occured and still travelling 1000klms of outback roads and tracks, and another 1500klms of blacktop home with the shock still hanging in and working I'll be sticking to twin tube design thank you very much.
I will be looking into making some sort of stoneguard tho, anyone have ideas or have done something similar?
These shocks are unfortunately only about 10 months old
And the reason, this sort of surface went forever

a mate of mine has stone guards that calmp on the trailing arms on his cruiser
maybe a mud flap infront of the rear tyres
the previous owner of my defender mentioned that he didn't fit billies to the rear as he thought they might get damaged

The Discovery Series II with rear air suspension has a mudflap/stone guard in front of the air bags. These might help in your case also. Just a thought. Thought is was a good idea on my old Disco SII anyway.

I was thinking some conveyor belt flaps somewhere in front of the shocks.
Mud patter tyres dont help much either in my opinion as they pick up bigger gibbers aswell.
Having the shocks behind the axle housing definately gives Nissan an advantage on the outback roads.

this is what my OME's look like after 35,000k's around Aus. I am pleased with them, still work ok and did not let me down
BTW i also have a shiny rear pop and UJ as well

You misinterpreted Pedro, after that damage and still working I'm more than happy to stick with OMEs not monotube design like BilliesThat looks like just one rock---
