No, it´s a Portuguese manufacturer, AFN, you can source it directly through afn.pt or through http://offroadprojects.com

Most of the work on my car as been done by offroadprojects and AutoDiesel.

I drove Fontes's 90 last month and you do not believe the power under your right foot!

It is awesome!

It is confortable and fast! Really!
