good luck Corey,
let me know if you need any help translating those questions, though with those two, you're in top hands.

Thanks All!
I have emailed Rodrigo Islas but no response yet. I will go north to Antofagasta soon and hope I can find something there or Iquique or Arica. The shocks are really bad right now :( Finding parts without speaking good spanish is hard :)

Backup plan would be to buy new shocks maybe in Uyuni since lots of 80 series landcruisers there.

Hi:

On Our store (in Santiago ) we have rebuild kit and shims for 2.0 Fox shocks, i can ship it were you need, soo only you need find someone for The labor.

Mi email is scerda@titan4x4.cl

Have a good trip!!!

Thanks Diablo and vsilva! I will contact the friend in Antofagasta. Maybe I could have the shims shipped to him. How long does mail from Santiago to Antofagasta take?

If necessary I can do the work myself if there is no shop here or in iquique. And then I can find nitrogena later.

Thanks ! More pictures when not on an entel phone :)

Shocks still need work....I will probably try to buy new ones as a temporary solution in Calama or Uyuni. More pictures later!
