Why is it that with (to quote Sam from ARB) over 30 full time design engineers!, ARB does not see fit to put at least 1 engineer on some thing for the grand Cherokee WK, ?????

The WK has been in the top 4 best selling 4x4 wagons and in the top 10 best selling of all 4x4's for the last 18 months, and out sells Amorok, FJ cruiser and pajero every month!

It's time for ARB to look at the real sales figures, pull there heads out of the sand and produce fro the fastest growing segment of 4x4's in Aus

"The GC is our next priority, we should start in the next couple of months"

Sounds just like
Are we there yet?, are we there yet?, It's just around the next corner son!

Yet another fob off from ARB

Its all about the established players controlling the market. I wouldn't be surprised if its like the Woolies/Coles deal, suppliers in Australia doing a product placement thing ( buy my brand car you can get all the extras!) here have a kickback to keep the opposition out.

We should find a local manufacturer and use the buying power of the forum and do a deal

I'm comfortable for now the message has been heard, but found some interesting posts on the ARB Facebook page. Could be that Jeep aren't singled out. Even their supported Brands aren't always happy campers.

Hope its here before mid December as I'll be doing another long road trip over Christmas.

Hi guys, just to clarify, despite our aim to commence the development project in the next couple of months, the reality is that the finished bar won't be available to consumers before the end of this year.

There is a lot of work that goes into developing the high quality of bar we're known for. This certainly isn't a fob off, I'm just trying to give you all a realistic expectation.

Cheers, Sam.
