The adventurous nature of 4WDing inevitably increases the risk of vehicle damage when off road. Fitting quality aftermarket protection equipment provides extra insurance for your vehicle and adds practicality and versatility for remote area travel. These days, ARB has accessories to protect every vulnerable area of your 4WD, from bull bars and Sahara bars to side, rear and underbody protection.
PLEASE NOTE: Any fitment related products are only available In-Store.
Vital for remote area touring and weekend adventuring alike, ARB bull bars and Sahara bars provide vastly increased protection for your 4WD as well as providing a secure mounting point for other accessories like lights, winches and VHF/UHF antennas.
Vital for rural and remote area travel, ARB frontal protection will provide substantially improved protection for vulnerable mechanical components against animal strikes whilst providing a solid base for mounting other accessories like driving lights, winches and VHF/UHF 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.
ARB manufactures a number of different bars from the sleek deluxe and Sahara styles, to the more functional commercial bar, as well as nudge bars for smaller SUVs and bakkies
Bull Bar Engineering
Engineering a bull bar requires careful consideration of a number of factors to ensure it properly serves its purpose. Factors such as vehicle design, crush rate, air bag deployment, approach angles, accessory fitment, strength, weight and aesthetics are incorporated into every ARB bar before it enters production.
You simply won’t find a more thoroughly designed and manufactured vehicle protection system than an ARB bull bar.
Airbag Compatibility
ARB has invested heavily in vehicle crash barrier tests to validate the performance and compliance of its air bag compatible bull bars. To ensure compatibility, ARB assesses each vehicle’s frontal crush characteristics and replicates the crush rate in the design of each air bag compatible bull bar and mounting system.
Using this method ensures that the vehicle’s crush rate and airbag triggering are not altered when a bull bar is installed.
Aesthetics and Finish
Each ARB bull bar is specifically designed to complement the unique contours of individual vehicle models. This ensures the best possible fit, look and functionality for a particular vehicle.
All ARB bars are finished in a durable powder coat with the option to colour code to your vehicle in order to further enhance the bar’s appeal and provide a more integrated look.

Sahara Bar
The all new Summit bar continues the ARB tradition of pioneering innovation and our relentless pursuit on quality. Summit is a modern interpretation of the renowned ARB Deluxe bar, styled to complement modern dual cab and wagon vehicles through a fresh, contemporary design language.
Building upon our proven air bag compatible bull bar mounting architecture, the Summit bar incorporates unique design features such as a 30mm edge radius on the wings and centre pan, wider press formed cover straps, 60.3mm top tubing, two piece polyethylene buffers and redesigned fog light surrounds. This results in the most visually impressive frontal protection system on the market.
FEATURES
Wing Design:
The furthest most point from the chassis and often the point of impact in an animal strike, the wing area is by far the most vulnerable. ARB pioneered the multi fold upswept and tapered wing design, which provides an enormous amount of strength and maintains an optimum approach angle.
Wider Edge Radius:
A 30mm wing and centre section edge radius offers increased strength while complementing modern vehicle design.
VHF/UHF Aerial Brackets:
The Summit bull bar incorporates two CB aerial brackets welded behind the top cross tube. Custom fit, clamp on brackets are also available for additional antenna mounting.
Driving Light Provision:
Exceptionally durable and secure, all ARB bars serve as an ideal platform to mount driving lights, helping ensure maximum performance and longevity. Driving lights mounted to a high quality bull bar prevents problems such as excessive movement, a vibrating beam pattern, premature bulb failure and eventual fatiguing of the light bodies.
Larger Tubing:
60.3mm mandrel steel tubing provides increased frontal protection, as well offering greater visual styling to modern four wheel drive vehicles.
Fog Lights:
Perfect for driving in inclement weather, these fog lights provide a broad spread of light to illuminate the road ahead.
Hi-Lift Jacking Points:
Eliminating the need for a mounting bracket, Hi-Lift jacking points are integrated into the design of Summit bull bars.
Winch Compatibility:
Mounting a winch to a vehicle requires a properly supported structure that is designed to accommodate the stresses of winching. When using a snatch block to increase winching capacity, the forces are multiplied to several times the rated capacity of the winch. The ARB Summit bar features the option of fitting a winch, and is designed and tested to endure and exceed such loads.
Press Formed Top Pan and Cover Panel:
Press forming has been utilised to create a stronger centre pan that features smooth, continuous edges. A press formed aluminium winch cover panel finishes off the bar for when a winch is not installed.
Split Pan Design:
The wide, split pan design enhances the strength of the bar, while providing the radiator and engine with a massive amount of air flow. An integrated winch clutch opening makes winch operation simple.
Steel Uprights:
Each bull bar upright is cut from a single sheet of steel and extends from the top tube through to the bumper section and actually forms part of the bar to chassis mount. This process ensures the whole outer frame receives the maximum possible support. Wide, press formed cover straps are then welded onto each upright to ensure there are no exposed sharp edges.
LED Indicators and Clearance Lights:
12 high intensity yellow LEDs and 4 white LEDs provide increased light output in all conditions
