The Profender 2.5 Coilover is ideal for any vehicle from a recreational Buggy to an Ultra4 race vehicle.

The coilovers come in a variety of sizes from 10-16 inch travel.

Profender Coilovers are designed closely around the leading shock brands in the off-road racing, although the quality is not as high as Kings Shocks these are a very good alternative if sticking to a build budget.

Profender shocks are fully rebuildable, serviceable and retunable. This means you only have to buy them once and you can alter them if you change the weights of the vehicle of or you put them in another buggy.

All spare parts are available and Superior Engineering can rebuild, service or re-valve these shocks. Or if you have the time Superior Engineering can supply you with shims and spares if needed to do any tuning that may be required.

The 2.5" body design allows for damping control over a longer time over the smaller 2.0 design.

THE WINCH THAT HAS IT ALL. The Runva 11XP Premium really does have it all. Perfect for just about any 4X4 on the market today - small to large. Featuring a massive 11,000lb of line pull from the powerful and reliable 6.7HP motor. The gearbox is a three stage planetary setup with tough 228:1 gear ratio to handle even the toughest recoveries. Whether you are driving a Hilux, Ranger, Landcruiser, or anything in between, this winch will get you out of trouble!

This model is also proudly featured on most of the vehicles used by 4WD 24/7. If you have seen the insane winching they do with the 11XP Premium in order to get out of the tracks they tackle, you know you are buying a quality winch that you can be confident in owning and using. After all of the winching they have done over the past couple of years, including pulling 2 dead vehicles tied together up a track, they have not had a single Runva fail on them. 

This model has all of our Premium features built in. Feel confident in the most extreme conditions with full IP67 ingress protection. The brake is our most advanced Ratchet system which is located in the gearbox which is super efficient and able to hold without fail when you stop winching. (Same brake as featured in our vertical lifting winch). Unlike the other traditional brake systems which uses brake pads, this will not wear out. 

The clutch is easily engaged/disengaged via the Rotary Clutch system. The 11XP Premium is also fully compatible with our optional extra Runva Air Clutch for easy in-cab control. 

Runva 11XP Premium 12V With Synthetic Rope

Manufactured in the U.S. using only high-strength 300m and chromoly materials, RCV Performance Ultimate CV Axle set simply replaces your weak Nissan Patrol Y61's axle shafts with a new high-strength design.
The factory axles were designed with 31 splines at the differential, and neck down to 27 Spline at the CV creating a common failure point.
This axle set upgrades the weak 27 splines at the CV to a 300M 30 spline race eliminating the need to neck down the shaft.
Tests prove Ultimate CV Axles to be twice as strong as OEM shafts, and they're just as tough at a straight angle as they are at extreme angles.
Even if you have big tires and big power there are no worries. Ultimate CV Axles are low maintenance and operate with a smoothness you can feel - whether off road or on the street.
And we back it all with a "No Questions Asked" limited lifetime warranty FOR Tyre size up to 40" Dia.

Axle set includes right and left inner axle shafts & 2 pregreased CV joints.

This is a pair of Superior Engineering Superflex Radius Arms suitable for a GQ/GU Nissan Patrol (Offroad Series) with a 2-6 inch lift.

Superior Engineering SUPERFLEX Radius arms were designed in 2008 for Competition Trucks to benefit from maximum articulation as well as Excellent High-Speed Handling as well.

Since their introduction to the Australian and overseas market, there has been a huge trend towards choosing Superior Engineering SUPERFLEX Arms over the standard Radius Arm design.

Why not have extra flex as well as good on-road handling?

Superior Engineering Radius Arms now come drilled to suit 85mm sway bar saddles and ABS lines.

SUPERIOR SUPERFLEX RADIUS ARMS

The Jig also allows for adjustment of the position of the mount, this means you can fine-tune the pinion angle and wheelbase length, unlike other brands on the market.

SUPERIOR LONG ARMS are manufactured from a quality High Tensile Solid Bar with a 25 x 10 mm flat strong back is welded to the top for added strength.

The benefit of long arms is it will correct the common problems that Nissan's have such as:

Rear steer
Adverse change of pinion angle during articulation
Common climbing problems such as the diff wanting to drive under the car.
If you are after an unfair advantage against other Nissan owners then these are for you!

The LONG ARMS are approx 300mm longer than standard so welding is needed to fit them.

The kit comes complete with 2 mounts, 2 crush bars, 2 LONG ARMS, instructions and a fitting jig.

Long Arms are finished in a silver 2 pack paint and fitted with high flexing rubber bushes.

Sold as a pair with mounts.
