I messaged Paranoid last week asking for a update on the bits for the new Jimny. They told me that the roof rack is still in testing, but the load shelf, tie down kit and load guard will be released in the next couple of weeks. No mention of any of the other bits.

I'm looking forward to see what they come out with. Their Land Rover stuff looks great.

It can’t help to hear that there may be as few as 1200 Jimny owners in the UK this year, of which, only a small proportion will want to (be able to afford to) buy their products. There must be a break even number of units they have to sell to recover development costs.

True, but if the products are good then they will sell them internationally I am sure. Most of the accessories so far are coming out of Japan. A lot easier to buy and get stuff shipped to European owners. They also seem to have good interest from Australia.

I agree though, I do wonder if the prices could be very high.

Hmm their Land Rover stuff which seems to be missing any 3rd party reviews? I could be completely wrong (and if I am, I'll apologise profusely), but Paranoid have the whiff of a vapourware scam about them at present, exercise caution.
