Well this looks interestingly familiar:

found that on this site:
4x4 Roof Top Tent / Roof Tent-02-Unity 4WD Accessories Factory

looks exactly like this:
my setup....for now ;) | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

so what shall I harrass them for?......
 
That's too funny. There is no shame on the internet isn't there? :rolleyes:

You know, if probably wouldn't hurt to congratulate them on a great product, you might get some free swag out of the deal...

The Chinese are shameless when it comes to stealing anything, so I wouldn't bother with harassment.
 
I know, it's awesome! I have to laugh, there really is nothing else you can do about it.
China = world's largest photocopy machine.

have a look at the stuff they are selling, it's all knock offs, bumpers, compressors, winches, tent, etc.
Well it either is all knock offs or it's all the original thing that's built there anyways, just without the trademark stickers.
 
nice air brush job on the rust:flipoff2:
 
screw you, Mr. "I can drive the MacKenzie and Chilcotin without any problems but I find the only stick in Moab and kill my tire" :D

That wasn't air brushing of the rust, that was just mud from the trail. Hope you guys are doing well down there and have a safe trip back.

that's probably because they are made in the same factory.
the interesting thing is they have knock off hubs too, looks like for toyota and nissan.

Twinnotter bought a bunch of stuff (SS gear, racks, tents, lockers, etc) from one of these companies - perhaps this one. Anyways, he has been very pleased with the quality. I got a snorkle from him. It looks identical to the Safari snorkles. Perhaps they were done in the same factory. Much better quality than the Malaysian ones that come up on ebay.

As for the hubs, it appears like your other link has an exact copy of the Nissan Safari OEM auto hub. Its the one the comp guys in Australia like mod into a selectable because they are so tough compared to the Nissan selectable hub. Me, if I had to, I would likely replace mine with a $130 set of aftermarket Rugged Ridge hubs. I'd much rather break a hub on the trail than a birf. Spare hubs are lighter to carry and cheaper to buy as well.
 
They were kind enough to rub out your license plate anyways. ARB has a great video I saw on the comparisons between their locker and the Chinese knockoff.
And while at Moab, there were a lot of RTT's that looked exactly like my tent, just with slight differences between ladders and various straps etc.
 
Man they have no shame using someone else's pic instead of modeling one of their own. They even have a faded logo that resembles the ARB logo borders, they could have at least put in some more effort in hiding your trucks identity and photoshop some blinging spinner wheels on it. :cool:

I know, they are totally shameless, the logo has a very close resemblance to ARB. Oh well, sent them an e-mail, they are ignoring me for now.

Maybe they will start mass producing your front bumper if they get a picture of it? It has a one of a kind look to it.
