These are Terrafirma tree bars. Quality is good. Construction wise, they don‘t stick out enough to use as sill steps but still make your pants dirty. That‘s fine for me because I was after a lower profile look. For travelling we try to maintain an urban (speak „normal“) look as much as possible. So on the outside no headlight guards, offroad bumper, antenna and all other gear the overland industry try to sell you.
I was deciding between Alucab and The Bush Company RTT, tried both and chose Bush Company because of it‘s clever construction. It‘s build like a self supporting roof rack and can be mounted directly on regular D3 long rails with custom spacers I made out of PU blocks (or PE ... can‘t remember) - no need for load bars!! That way it’s only ca. 9 inch high from rail to top of the tent and it still has plenty of cargo space for bedding and ladder. It‘s a great RTT with smart functional design. Unfortunately quality is not on par with Alucab. All „stainless steel“ parts like hinges and gas struts are already starting to rust ... no snow and street salt in SA
