I've always been very happy with the service from Devon 4x4!
Where did you read there in development?
I find that hard to believe, the market over here is huge for ARB bull bars, side bars, safari snorkels, OME suspension etc. etc. So quite often ARB, Kaymar, Safari etc. have the parts designed, made and ready to sell before the new models even hit the dealerships (Toyota, Nissan etc. usually loan them a car months before they officially go on sale, for development of accessories!)
I will contact ARB HQ in the new year because I believe Arbil/Devon are wrong!
