Arrow KL Products - what do you want to see?

Hi there KL Fraternity!

We've got a KL to play with for a few months and develop products for but before I go too deep into it I thought Id ask the question to you guys/gals, the owners of this seriously nice machine.

What would you like to see in terms of modifications, upgrades and accessories for the KL? and pls be realistic - what are you prepared to buy?

Pls no one say SFA........

Rear bar with tyre carrier and rock sliders that also fit the KK, not kidding! What about a SRA, isn't it CVs all round hence a pita to lift, if no go then portals. [emoji38]

Definitely rock sliders. I'm not too keen on the idea of messing with the suspension on a brand new vehicle so personally I'd be unlikely to go for a lift (plus I like the way it behaves on the road as is). I think it's pretty handy off road for an off the shelf wagon, but i think the first point that's likely to come to grief would be the sills/belly - sliders would be great for piece of mind.

Mud flaps? Nobody in the known universe seems to make mudflaps for the Trailhawk version. I'm taking it to central Australia in June and want something to deflect at least a couple of stone chips. It'll just end up with some cheap square rubber ones from supacheap - they ain't pretty and will be coming off straight after the trip.

They don't have a huge amount of cargo space, so I could definitely see people looking for storage solutions - rear wheel carrier, roof racks, etc.

I must admit the KL's drive brilliantly. Handling is 2nd to none - but that's the "Car" in KL....

I honestly doubt you'll ever see a rear bar tyre carrier for KL, here or anywhere in the world

A decent roof rack I can see. The stock rails are seriously flimsy.

Rock sliders - that's a given. The Mopar ones in the US are really neat. We'll be bringing those in until Uneek 4x4 release theirs.

We will be doing a snorkel by the looks of it and 1.5" wider flares too.

Those Mopar Rock rails are very tidy, but God damn Mopar charge a pretty penny for them. Would be keen to see an alternative... The Rocky Road ones below cost about 1/3 of the Mopars in the US - they're not quite as nice and sound a bit harder to fit, but still look pretty clean.
