New ARB Old Man Emu Nitrocharger Sport Shocks

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Old Man Emu Customized Suspension Systems Have Evolved

A twin tube-monotube hybrid design supercharges an all new line of NitroCharger Sport shock absorbers with all the valving of a monotube combined with the durability of twin tube.

SEATTLE, June 25/ARB 4×4 Accessories/ – Australian based four-wheel drive accessories manufacturer, ARB 4×4 Accessories has just announced the arrival of a new line of shock absorbers, the NitroCharger Sport, to add to their already extensive line of Old Man Emu branded suspension.

While most dual-tube shock absorber systems are typically designed with the focus on ride height rather than ride quality, ARB’s classic Old Man Emu (OME) NitroCharger line has always been designed with valving for the load carrying capacity as the core objective and the new OME NitroCharger Sport takes that principle one step further. Most dual and monotube shocks typically feature a two-stage valving process, the new OME NitroCharger Sport features a triple-stage valving process rivaled only by a remote canister adjustable shock. We’ve stacked it into the most durable shock body and adjusted it by load capacity for you. So, rather than offering a single adjustable shock, the OME engineers have done all of the testing and tuning adjustments for you. You get to choose from a selection of shock absorbers for your application based on your load-carrying configuration, guaranteeing an immediate and ideal ride without any costly fine-tuning required post-installation. The monotube style main piston valving improves transition and direction changes while the extra base valving provides more fine-tuning for comfort and control. So, the new OME NitroCharger Sport feels
like a monotube without the vulnerability or the high price tag.

Clover Springs and Little Bald Mountain Backroads Tour – 06.09.07

After nearly a year of lurking on the Backroad Drivers Northwest group mail list, last Saturday (June 9, 2007), I was finally able to attend one of the organized gatherings of the group.

The planned destination was the Clover Springs and Little Bald Mountain areas off SR 410, near Cliffdell, Washington. I had been to this area before, during the 2005 Pacific Northwest Four Wheel Drive Association (PNW4WDA) annual trail jamboree, but never from the direction we were coming in from. Also, this time of year, there was bound to be snow, which places a whole new twist on the adventure.
