NEW ZEALAND’S BEST RANGE OF REAR BUMPERS & WHEEL CARRIERS

Due to the long rear overhang on many modern 4×4 wagons and dual cab utes, rear quarter panels and factory bumper bars are very susceptible to damage, particularly when traversing steep, rocky terrain.

There is no better way to protect the back of your vehicle than with ARB’s range of bull bars and rear protection equipment. Manufactured to extremely high standards for maximum strength and designed specifically to suit each vehicle for the optimum fit, our protection equipment selection includes a variety of different models. Rear step tow bars are available for pick-ups, along with rear bars (some of which incorporate wheel carriers), to cater for the diverse needs of 4WDers. Each product integrates a heavy-duty towing system for maximum functionality while incorporating vehicle-specific features to suit your model. 

For more information on our range of rear bumpers, visit your nearest ARB store or stockist. Our friendly 4×4 experts will ensure you find the right fit for your rig.

ABOUT OUR STURDY REAR BUMPERS

Each of our bumpers are made with your specific make and model in mind, ensuring excellent ground clearance and departure angles along with a stylish and adventurous look for your 4×4.

Manufactured from steel for maximum strength, ARB Rear Bumpers feature a centre recess to accommodate various-sized tyres (mounted on factory tyre carriers) along with dual jacking points and a low-slip tread to facilitate easy access to both the roof and the inside of the vehicle.
