Darren or Daz at Autocraft Australia is well known to Cruiser heads on LCOOL - he's forgotten more about land cruisers than most people remember. He helped me with a shipment last year and he supplies a lot of various pieces of kit via JulianV here, with the most well known being the Ridepro shocks and slinky springs.
While in Oz I went to see him to check out the suspension set up and he gave me a full hour's attention and I didn't buy a thing. It's basically because he has a genuine passion about his work and the trucks looked great in the workshop. His FJ Cruiser looked pretty good, too. Helped me make up my mind.
Interestingly, he told me the Fox had moved their manufacturing and he was now getting such variable supply from them [including different coluored shocks] he'd moved his customers to King shocks for the top-end range.
