SkyBakkie

SkyCribs Bakkie Products

Nifty shades of play with SkyBakkie, an exciting new family of products and variants that combines and enhance existing products into an all-in-one solution. The system is based on a new platform never been seen on luxury 4x4 bakkies.  The very useful products will make the bakkie pop and will be purchased for the same reasons we buy 4x4 bakkies and the thrill we generally find in gadgets.
