Piranha attacks online with an all new website.

Piranha’s new super site offers 4WDrivers, tradies and the media access to a raft of information at the touch of a button or click of a mouse, with a level of professionalism that leaves the previous site at the starting line!

Alan Johnson, MD of Piranha Off Road Products, is proud to announce the grand launch of the new Piranha website www.piranhaoffroad.com.au, marking the start of a new era in Piranha communication.

Alan has always been keen to get as much sensible information out into the market place as possible. With honest views on what works and what doesn’t, backed by years of experience not only in manufacturing but real-world testing, the biggest issue Alan has is with misinformation. The new website has a raft of detailed product information and a massive FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section to help dispel myths and reduce incorrect information out there in the field.

The website has pages covering everything from dual battery systems to lighting solutions as well as ‘Seriously Suzuki’ where Piranha lists a massive stock of Suzuki bits to help customise and improve any Suzuki’s ability to play off road!

This new website is easy to navigate with a phenomenal number of pictures to enhance the package and offer a visual aid to the description of products on offer.

Dubai is the next stop for the tough Kaymar rear ends.

Following the growing trend of Aussie exports to the Middle East, Kaymar, Australia's longest running and most respected manufacturer or rear steps and wheel carriers is expanding into 4wd markets over seas via Dubai. "The Arab states have a reputation for extreme conditions and tough sand driving and are the perfect place for 4wd parts just as tough and enduring" says David Brickhill, marketing manager for Kaymar.

Preparing for a trip to Dubai, David will be flying the flag for this home grown Aussie success story from the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne. David further stated that "with a reputation for the world's best 4wd products, countries within the Middle East are desperate for Australian made products and the extensive range from Kaymar has exactly what it takes to be a success under the world's most extreme conditions. Kaymar is all about convenience, safety and ruggedness and we know that the locals over there are very tough on their vehicles but the Kaymar gear has what it takes to do the job and do it well".

ARB release a revolutionary new 4x4 fridge.

Over the past three years ARB's engineers and management have fully designed an all new fridge, incorporating intelligent electronics with the world's most respected mobile fridge compressor, all in a revolutionary housing that combines a specially coated steel body with injection moulded upper and lower fixtures.

Power features include intelligent battery protection settings, 12V and 240V direct operation and precise digital temperature controls.

The fridge has been specifically constructed for strength and weight saving with tough 4x4 conditions and touring in mind.

An ingenious lid can be opened either with the normal hinge action but also through a simple pull and unhinge and push to re hinge system that needs to be seen to be believed. A one hand operation latch gives a secure seal and neatly recessed handles maximise mounting strength whilst maintaining a near flush external that minimises the space taken up with a vehicle.

A Danfoss compressor sits neatly under the dairy section and an inbuilt evaporative plate and removable basket maximise the internal capacity of 47 litres.

A revolution in fridge design and operation, the new ARB fridge will be a stand out performer over the next ten years.
