Sorry Mate not sure if this helps you. I do pop into the Ironman stores when I’m splashing out on the truck but end up choosing another brand.
I.e there rated recovery points and bull bars looked good quality for the price but I ended up paying the extra and went ARB in the end because ARB’s looked way better quality. But Ironman drawer systems were twice the price of Titan drawers with little difference on quality. I guess at the end of the day I haven’t heard any complaints about Ironman kit here and they seem to have a good reputation - they are not selling top end stuff but its not cheap rubbish either. There are Ironman store everywhere here in Sydney so I guess if they weren’t selling good stuff for the money they would be as popular right?

Front Runner have an Aussie site and your Gong rellies can order any front runner products from there. Their kit and accessories look good and I did think about FR before going Rhino - good look.
Nb I miss my Donny in the Park race weekends. Plenty of motorheads there so TJM should do well.

I've used Ironman gear in the past and found it to be ok, as has previously been said it's not top end stuff, but certainly better than a lot of gear out there. They do do a lot of their own R and D on the stuff they sell.

I don't think much of the Iron Man suspension, We came across a Toyota Hilux on the Tanami Track last year and its front struts / shocks were bent like a banana. Ceasing up the suspension in the front. He made it to Halls Creek and took it to the authorised Toyota mechanic and got them replaced front and back with another brand. We caught up with him later again at the Bungle Bungles and filled us in.
