Lucky8llc.com is a top notch vendor. Justin is the owner, he is a real enthusisast and not only a vendor but a huge supporter of the community with events like Rover's on the Rocks.

I highly recommend him, great service, great prices and quick shipment. There is a reason the only vendor decal on my 110 is a huge Lucky8 sticker across the rear window.

Not sure about where TerraFirma is made but I can tell you the trailing arms on the back of my Hunter are nicely welded, with a good finish and have held up fine off road.

The suspension Justin has on his P38 is TerraFirma and I was in the truck while it was taking a beating that would have done a baja driver proud.

It was fun to do wheel stands in to, can't believe he let me have a go in it

The ends are Qh and are greasable. The rods are made in the UK not China. You are throwing a lot of stones in a glass house.

He said, "I'm pretty sure Terrafirma stuff isn't made in England"

and I said, "China"


Which is generally true, a lot of the Terrafirma stuff is made in China, am I wrong to say that? I can see the country of origins.

It depends on the part. Take a look at the CoO sheets. To Insinuate it is all made in China is not fair.

I've seen them, and I didn't say it was all Chinese, just that generally it's Taiwan. I looked around and essentially all of their suspension stuff is Chinese. I'm not bashing them, my truck is half Terrafirma at this point, I like their products quite a bit, I've only had one shock bushing fail.

I also don't fall for the "if it's chinese it's junk" assumption, if someone finds a factory in China with reputable quality control and sends them the right specifications, what's to stop them from making a great product? ARB has stuff made in China now, I've had more Land Rover parts fail on my truck than aftermarket parts.

Not for nothing but less the 10% of the Terrafirma line is made in China.

Hey, did anybody notice that while this thread veered off course the OP changed his mind again?
