I was looking for places to use my Acrow chassis props prior to fitting my suspension lift and the front "rings" proved ideal. They, at least, proved useful but probably not in the manner envisaged by Suzuki.
The box is interesting because it is available under it's own part number but is welded into place. Does this imply that Suzuki consider that bolting it on is not strong enough? The parts availability of it implies that Suzuki consider that it may be necessary to replace it at some point. This would seem to indicate that a side impact measure is probably close to the mark. As soon as the commercial version is available a check can be made to see if they are fitted .

I know the commercial version as currently planned does not have them, the parts manual is quite clear on that.

The commercial version does not have rear passengers so no need to supply it with any form of passenger protection which would appear to confirm that that's what the boxes are for, although I am not sure how much protection they would give.

Any ideas as to when we might see this commercial version?
