ARB Bull Bars

Vital for rural and remote area travel, ARB bull bars will provide substantially improved protection for vulnerable mechanical components against anything the New Zealand conditions have to throw at you whilst providing a solid base for mounting other accessories like driving lights, winches and CB antennas.

ARB bars are superbly engineered and manufactured to not only maintain maximum functionality, but also to ensure they complement the look of the vehicle.

Deluxe Bull Bars

The feature packed flagship of the ARB frontal protection range, deluxe bars provide the ultimate in both protection and style.

Available for the 70 series models, winch bars are compatible with a selection of Warn and Magnum low mount winches. Bull bars are also available and provide the same level of frontal protection, without the ability to fit a winch.

For added aesthetics, optional colour coding is available on all models.

Note: Fit kit required for pre 1990 75 series vehicles.

Deluxe Bull Bar Features

  • Durable steel construction for maximum protection
  • Incorporates ARB’s renowned multi fold upswept and tapered wing design for optimum strength and approach angle
  • Cover straps attached to the uprights ensure there are no exposed edges
  • Continuous uprights through the bumper section of the bar strengthens the outer frame
  • Vehicle specific design to complement the Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series and maximise functionality
  • Superbly engineered mounting system secures to chassis via high tensile bolts
  • Provision to accommodate a range of IPF driving lights
  • Recessed indicators
  • Retains original equipment tow points
  • Two aerial brackets located in the frame of the bar
  • Finished in a hard-wearing powder coat with the added option of colour coding to individual vehicles

Commercial Bull Bars

Incorporating many of the strength related features of a deluxe bull bar, commercial bars provide considerable frontal protection but achieve cost savings through a simplified manufacturing process.

ARB’s commercial combination bar for the Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series offers superior protection via its unique design featuring heavy gauge steel tube for the centre and outer frame whilst forgoing a number of cosmetic features such as colour coding and urethane buffers.

Commercial bull bars and winch bars are available to suit 70 Series vehicles and are equally suited to winch and non winch applications.

Laser Cutting

Every bumper starts its life as a flat sheet of steel. Individual components are cut to shape using ARB's state of the art, computer aided laser cutters which can cut to a tolerance of just 0.2mm with no heat distortion, resulting in superior surface finishes and accuracy.

Folding

Individual components are then folded to make up the sections of the bumper using a Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machine which ensures maximum accuracy and consistency. Most bumpers utilise ARB's five fold design, with each fold providing additional strength.

Tube Work

ARB Bumpers are made with strong 2.6mm wall thickness tubing. The tube is cut to the desired length and bent with a CNC Eagle internal mandrel bender ensuring consistency, accuracy and an even wall thickness accross all sections.

Robot Welding

Once folded, each section is welded utilizing a robot welder. Robot welders are used for straightforward, repetitive welding jobs that require deep penetration, speed and accuracy.

Assembly

When individual components are complete, the bumper is assebled. All sections including pan, wing, uprights, outer frame and chassis brackets are placed in a jig and tack welded. This is followed by finish welding and grinding for strength and aesthetics. Jigs are assessed regularly to ensure accuracy.

Post Assembly

To complete the manufacturing process all ARB bumpers are shot blasted, before entering a 5 stage chemical wash to prepare the surface for maximum powder adhesion. They're then powder coated and oven baked to ensure a rich and durable finish. As well as being an attractive and durable finish, powder coating provides an excellent base for painting if colour coding is required.
