I was looking at the suspension kits, but they seems to have a ton of stuff.
Just curious if anyone can speak to the quality, customer service, ect.
Thanks in advance

The feedback I have seen on my Jeep forum has been positive.

I think they are a relatively small operation. I would expect personal customer service.

Edit: Nevermind. That is a different Ironman 4x4. It appears there are several of them.

That one is Ironman 4x4 America. I am familiar with Ironman 4x4 Fab.

I installed their suspension componenets on my old Xterra quite a few years ago. I had no issues and the parts performed as expected. I's say the y would have compared to OME stuff. The Ironman Canada dealer at the time was in the process of closing when I ordered (no idea why). I got a great deal on the suspension parts from what I recall. They seem very popular in Australia.

I have been looking at their En-suite Shower. I like the price but it seems like it may be cheap materials.

It appears in the picture that the arms are sagging a bit. The arms themselves appear to be thin as do the arm lockouts. That said I have not noticed lockout on any other en-suite. In watching the video the whole thing seems to bend an flex easily when deploying it as well I have not had my hands on one of these so this is purely based on what I see in the pictures and video. Could be a mounting issue?

I also worry about the facts that they sell so many replacement parts for their awnings on the website. It’s actually great that they do but doesn’t initially speak very highly of their construction quality. This makes me leery Of the en-suite as I would guess they are comparable quality. I have a cheap Chinese awning and it is not exactly robust in any way. I do not think I could easily source replacement parts for mine so out of the gate I would say Ironmans is better.

Overall though, I am interested in the company as a whole. They seem to be much more in line with many Australian outfitters in terms of pricing and product. They do have many items I am interested in so I’d be interested in hearing about others dealings with them.

Thanks for the input. The wife wants one and they seem really hard to find in US. I talked with one guy that was looking into making them and he said that it wouldn't be cost effective for him. He would have to charge around $800 to make it a viable thing and that was too high a price. Most of the companies that make them are in Australia. There was one that I found that was affordable from ??jackassoffroad?? or something like that, but they didn't ship to the states. Maybe we will bite the bullet and try the ironman one.

Freakin pricey. Plus if you are going to blatantly rip off arb bumpers, better make sure you don’t charge arb prices. Also, 350 bucks for a basic shock? Out to lunch. You can get a falcon adjustable resivoir shock for that money.

The kit for my Seq was 1k, around the same as the Bilstein and Old man Emu kits...since we lack a ton of options I wanted to put it out there and get some feedback.

If it is the same Iron Man 4 x 4 company that I know of. They are located in Newburg Oregon. Very nice people to work with with lots of product in stock. They also fabricate a lot of their own equipment. I have used them for their oversize springs when I was doing a lift on my 2002 Subaru Forester

If you buy one definitely post a review. I’d want to hear about it for sure. I have onboard hot water through an exchanger so showers are awesome but I currently use a flimsy pop up tent. It gets the job done but I am on a rebuilding spree at the moment adding some high end gear. 10k later anything I can do to reasonably cut a cost is of interest but I am definitely leaning in the buy once cry once direction.

Was playing around on their website. Got halfway through entering an order and checked that I wanted email updates. Never finished and went on to something else. Recieved an email for 10% off my first order. Just an FYI.

Andrew St. Pierre White said their suspension is doodoo on his YT live a bit ago for whatever that is worth to anyone. Highly stressed that was his personal opinion.
