About us

Like most tough dogs, ToughDog started life in a garage in Mona Vale in 1985, living there for three years in conjunction with a job that took it’s owner out of the country on a regular basis. Moving to Parramatta in 1988, the groundwork was set for the world-renown brand that ToughDog is today.

Originally selling shocks from Trailmaster in the US, it didn’t take long to realise that Australia needed a far tougher suspension range than anything available at the time. And the only way to find such a range was to make it!

So began the ToughDog legend. From the very first shock, ToughDog made a firm commitment to sourcing locally manufactured components. After all, there’s nothing tougher than an Aussie. In fact, the coil spring and the Premium Pack spring range are manufactured completely in Australia. The use of tough, high quality parts has helped develop a reputation for ToughDog products being second to none. Yet, they are one of the most reasonably priced 4WD product ranges available anywhere in the world.

Today ToughDog exports products all over the world from it’s new home in Blacktown and boasts a product range that includes the world’s largest bore 4WD shock absorber.

If you’re around this way any time, call in and say hello.
