As we prepare for our next adventure, a two-year overland trek from Lisbon, Portugal to Shanghai, China, through seventeen countries, and retracing the Northern Silk Route, the suspension of our Tortuga Expedition Vehicle is critical. It must reflect a compromise between a comfortable ride on the highway, control on bad roads, and absolute reliability. Heavy Duty Hellwig Sway Control Bars vastly improve handling, and by installing Hellwig Air Suspension on the rear axle, both the ride and the reliability of the truck have been improved. A recent 5-week test on some of Baja’s worst backroads gave us full confidence in the system. Hellwig Suspension Products are Turtle Expedition proven.http://www.hellwigproducts.com
