If it makes everybody feel better I've had Tough Dogs spew all their oil out on the first trip home (cairns to weipa). bilstiens were THE worst riding shocks I have ever had and on a work car going up and down the Cape road we tried just about every brand of shock in Australia on the patrol and they ALL flew to bits: leaking, pistons coming undone and breaking the ends off shocks. I hear the same marketing bs from every company "built tough for australia conditions", more like built in China as cheap as possible and stiff as a board. I'm with the OP, lift your game aussie suspension manufacturers because you are 20 years behind the USA.
