Body Damage is Cool
Looks like they copied Platarg814. His skid plate is really nice and probably you could get it from him for the price of shipping from Korea. Jesse, hope this gives others the itch to order one from you.

They are copying everything from CALMINI for Suzuki as well. Gotta love international trade law enforcement.

FWIW, a fellow Zooker ordered the 3" springs for his Zook XL7. They were cheaper than OME or domestic springs with shipping figured into that, and they arrived 4 days after he ordered them. How? I dunno.

Figured I'd pass it along.

They gots a couple bits that look good. If the skid has any mass to it that'd be good one to get. Saw they have a snorkel too. Could'nt find a translator icon any where to choose english <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />.

There's some pretty cool stuff there for other units too.

Full catalog to drool over. If you scan down to the Kia section, you'll see a bunch of bits, including lifts and such.

FTS catalog

Notice that they have copied not only Calmini for Zook stuff,, but Teraflex and others for Jeep and such.

Problem is, the stuff is cheap and ships fast. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

If you need to order stuff, they don't speak English, but quite a few have had excellent response from a retailer of there product. You could try <a href="www.vttr.com.tw/e4X4.htm " target="_blank">VTTR</a> If you want to contact them here's the e-mail address vttr.tw@msa.hinet.net atten. Margaret.

Good luck!

I guess I should feel good that my design was good enough for them copy, all though I did get help from a friend at a machine shop. At least when I sale what I have left It won't leave people high and dry.
