If you want ARB parts for the KK, please e-mail them asking for them. I did and got the below responce. This responce is what I call positive and smart. So I am asking all my KK brothers and sister to e-mail them. We do not yet have anything to offer for this vehicle. We may in the future as we were told here in the states ARB Australia aquired one for testing. We have heard nothing more in the last few months since. Check back with us every few months for any updates. We will forward your interest to ARB Australia. If you have friends with KKs let them know to contact us and we will forward their interest as well. This may help expidite matters. I amnot putting ARB e-mail here as every one here can google ARB and find this link http://www.arbusa.com/Contact-Us/9.aspx go to number 1 and send off the mail.. Thanks all... I know it will take time, but I like ARB bumpers... |

thats the same thing they have been telling us since 2007. I gave up on them. I had a contact down under ask personally for me and they told me that ARB AU hadn't even been asked for a bar as they are called. I have tried state side to. Basically if you were to find 75 owners with a blank check, they would build it, but the cost of their r&d time would be tacked in to the first run. I think it's going to be awhile before they spend their money for R&D |

I see and get it. The USA ARB guy things the AUS guys got a KK.. So he said interest level had to pick up. I fully get this. I works for a place that will not spend a dime unless they can make buck.... but it was worth a shot. we have a few memebers with KK now right? |

ARB AU will time and time again tell anyone they do not have a KK nor are they getting one. It will be quite some time before ARB develop after market parts for the KK. If you would like send an enquiry to ARB Australia and see what happens. You will get the same response we get here in Australia. Below is a copy of the Email I was sent from ARB by Garry Firth. You can contact him at gfirth@arb.com.au "Keith Thanks for the e mail.After contacting the R & D section of Old Man Emu i have discovered that there are no plans at this time to develop a suspension kit for your model.I would suggest you contact our local stockist ARB Tamworth on 67 620 541 who may be able to suggest an alternative. Regards Garry" |

I had a lengthy phone conversation with ARB over the summer. The ARB sales and marketing guy told me that ARB would like to make more products for other makes and models and expand their current lines; however, he said realistically they can’t keep up on the current demand. He said the new Wranglers and Toyotas nearly killed them as the demand for bumpers, diff covers, and etc exceeded their limits to build them quick enough. And with a world-wide weak economy, I don’t see ARB getting into a hurry to make KK items. |
