Thread: Cheap Gen 3's

They got back to me with a very vague answer. I have emailed a person who actually bought a set in Feb, waiting on a response but I'm not holding my breath.

I'll give him a couple more days and I might take the plunge and buy a set since Arnotts just quoted me for a set of Gen 111's US$1016 delivered Bit hexy!!

Just to digress slightly, my rear bags have a hand full of fine cracks on the roll, can any one tell me if this is considered bad at this point .

It's normal signs of wear with age.

Getting close to bag retirement day!

Mine are looking the same so I'll be trying the ebay ones too before long.

I just recieved a quote of $255 shipping from arnott this morning, so it all adds up.
Admittantly I drive until they start leaking, probably not the best thing; but they sometimes last a lot longer than you'd think.

Rob I'm very interested in the answer they gave you; touring tech said their's are to gen3 spec(what every that is), and are replacement springs only and would only warrant them with OEM shocks. I also got told that they wouldn't give me any more lift or articulation... REALLY!

Your right Benji at US$195.21, I was quoted for post your AU$255 spot on.

You got more out of touring tech than I did. I wouldn't be surprised if they are the same bag from different vendors.

This is the response I received from the seller--

"Hello,
Unfortunately I can't find out the full length of these air springs unless we install them on a vehicle. The only thing I can do is try to match them up with OEM part numbers or the VIN of your vehicle.

I,m not particular about extra lift as I mainly do touring and moderate off road. I'm looking for best value for $, I'm even considering a set of standard springs.

Rob

Yeh not much to go on.

Touring tech quality is good, but then standard bags last a while too. Depends on the spring rates you want.

Stuff it, I'll take the plunge and buy a set. If they were that bad the yanks would be blowing their tops and I see no evidence of that.......Stay tuned!!

This thread ain't over yet!!

For anybody interested in a set, I received a reply back from a buyer in the US

"hey mate just saw your msg, they are great, really easy to install

I got a price from landrover $2400 plus installation cost

cheers Todd"

Makes me feel better about my purchase!
