It does make sense that the arms are not yet ready, as quoted by, and identified by several of you on this forum there appears to be 20 solid axle cruitrols to every Rover.
Of that 20 half must be under 25.
Of that 10 half are stupid enough to fit the arms with no regard to insurance liabilities, on road handling (sway bar fitment, big tyres etc), or ADR legalities. 1 trip to Tuff Truck proves this.
Therefore we are our own worst enemy. Too mature. Too sensible. Too many civic (family & future planning) financial RESPONSIBILITIES to drop $1600 on a set of radius arms for a 15-20 year old car. Oh and we are too few among the many.
So on Superiors behalf a SUPERIOR business decision to cater for the majority. I am sure blind Freddy could see the outcome of a cost benefit analysis in this scenario.
Why is it Superior don't hear us but the government hears Vegan Hippie Hairy Arm Pit No-good law breaking immigrant social misfits!?!
Oh that's right, Australia the lucky country.
Rant over.
PS; what do I care I spent my radius arm money on front and rear lockers, new ring and pinion and a Tvan. And I did the frenchmans, and tele track towing said camper trailer 2 months ago without the radius arms.

I don't think many people in this thread would consider frenchmans or the tele track even remotely challenging... most stock vehicles will drive those tracks no worries (with a raised air intake), sure you really needed those lockers!? :P
Still...i'd rather throw a few bills here and there at on older truck that takes a few bumps and bruises, i'd much rather that then take on the massive depreciation on something new.
There's a suprising amount of Suzuki Sierra stuff available locally and there aren't that many around, i suppose there is much less of a 'fuddy-duddy' factor with them than you get with some landy owners

Spot on about the fuddy-duddy lots of landy owners seem to really look down there noses at landys with any sort of lift or decent sized rubber

Maybe Greg is on holidays? Maybe he is only a consultant for Superior and has a full time gig else where? Maybe they don't see LR products as a priority?
hell I don't know, but I do hope he answers my pm
Master
Well i think being a business owner or partner you have a lot on your plate, you really just don't have the time to answer everyone's phone calls and emails, and if you did, product development would be even more glacial

The lack of updates is pretty frustrating. I have nearly lost all interest

The bushes in the front of my truck are totally flogged out,and I was waiting on these arms,rather than spending money on bushes and then purchasing new arms and double spending.Something is going on,I have tried mobile numbers and left messages,and still get no reply..........I don't think frustrating is the word I would use Pete

SubscriberYeah saw that on their fartbook page the other day,I have left messages on that page as well,and get told to call and talk to different people,and when you ring,they don't want to put you through,just get held at the counter and told stories I have been hearing for months..seems SE were busy over the weekend at the Glasshouse Mts doing a photo/vid thing, some of it for 4WD TV..... Maybe we should be driving Nissans
It is a pity really,as these looked like they could have really helped a few people out here
