Some pretty high quality stuff coming out of them. Looks to be new:

Their roof rack looks amazing but dear lord it's expensive. (also not sized for the 90 best I can tell). Regardless of the sky high price though, it looks great and makes a ton of sense being able to slide load bars completely out of the way and lock them at the back.

Honestly... I am surprised how much I like that switch area and handles on the console. Super cool product.

I wish with all of their products...
- It was not CF only (roof rack looks like black aluminum which is cool)
- No branding

Otherwise, wow.

Agree on the branding - my guess is they are trying to build it right now vs being copied by someone on alibaba

I actually think these turned out pretty cool. Knowing their stuff is crazy $$$ I emailed them anyway. $3,400 shipped.

I emailed him as well, and was about to post his answer when I saw TSS73 had. $3,400 is crazy money for something that still requires installation. But those switches are slick. And he replicates the USB and 12V ports - you don't lose anything. Great design.

good lord, plus 4.5k for their roof rack and 2.5k for those rear boxes. I imagine if they developed a bullbar or rear bumper they’d be priced over 10k.

they seems to make clever accessories. Im assuming they are well made, but I have a limit somewhere well under ‘subframe lift cost’ for accessories that don’t improve a vehicle’s capabilities. Also not clear to me how you wire lights to these switches from that installation video with the annoying audio

Perhaps it's a brand strategy....



I actually thought it was a Chinese reference to the tree or fruit. But whenever most English speakers hear it, I think they generally start with plumbing....

I thought they were bragging that there stuff is perfectly perpendicular to the horizon.
