I spotted this company ant Wandin (Victoria) now importing Jimny parts. I was impressed with the designs and quality and thought the prices were pretty reasonable. Front Bar  Side steps and rock slider using body mounts  Rear Bar   Roof Rack with direct mounting  These guys use their Jimny and are just setting up. I told them about Auszookers when they are ready to advertise. Mike

looks like another onseller of the MIC gear that's been around for a while... if they can fill the orders they take they'll have no drama's in the suzuki world going by past efforts.

Yes I thought they may have found the same manufacturer. The prices seem to be more competitive though. They are still building up stocks before advertising more widely. I told them about this site. I also just found their business card in my pocket. Website genuine4x4.com.au and also on facebook genuine4x4 Email info@genuine4x4.com.au. They seemed like good blokes.

didn't actually see that lol.
if that's $950 for the swing away bar that's really cheap (iirc. $1,200-ish delivered from aliexpress), the steel bar without the tyre carrier was about $700-800 from aliexpress though, but i'd pay the extra if it were sitting in front of me (although i'm not convinced a steel rear bar would be worth it).

Looks good, but the quality (at least) the rear bar is poor imo. Crap welding, poor design on the swing away carrier and just a poor overall finish from the bar I seen

Are they doing colour coding in that price? They're normally that black that fades.

I really don't have any more info.
I talked to them a while but mainly looked at the other mods to the Jimny. The welding on the rear bar looked OK at first glance and the mechanism that attached the wheel was well thought through. Maybe its the same company as MIC used or maybe someone else making these copies.
I don't know about the colour coding, I didn't ask. Maybe look at their facebook page, I don't have facebook.
