Vital for rural and remote area travel, ARB bull bars 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 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.
The Summit bar builds on the renowned ARB Deluxe bull bar architecture and integrates a fresh and contemporary design language to complement modern vehicles.
Available for the PX Ranger models, Summit bars are winch compatible and provide next generation protection and styling for your vehicle. Laser cut holes for mounting ARB Intensity LEDs and IPF driving lights are integrated into the top pan of the bar, while the ARB LED indicator and clearance light assembly is included as standard.
Supplied in a durable black powder coat finish with the added option of colour coding to individual vehicles.
Note: Bar shown with optional fog light kit.
Manufactured from steel for ultimate strength and powder coated for durability, the Deluxe bull bar is designed to complement the vehicle’s style and safety systems while offering a solid platform to mount essential 4WD accessories in a seamless and integrated package.
Available for the Ranger PX models, the Deluxe bull bar is compatible with a selection of Warn, Smittybilt and Bushranger low mount winches. A cover panel finishes off the bar for when a winch is not fitted. To complement the bar, optional fog light kits are also available.
For added aesthetics, optional colour coding is available on all models.
Note: Optional winch mounting kit required for winch installation.
With a more low profile design, the Ranger Sahara bar provides an alternative look to the range of Deluxe bars, whilst retaining many of the strength and protection features.
Offering significantly greater protection than the factory bumper, the Sahara bar is available with or without the polished centre tube and can accommodate a selection of Warn, Smittybily and Bushranger low mount winches.
For added aesthetics, optional colour coding is also available.
Incorporating many of the strength related features of a Deluxe bull bar, the Commercial bar provides considerable frontal protection but achieve cost savings through a simplified manufacturing process.
ARB’s Commercial bar for the Ford Ranger 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.
The Commercial bar is available to suit all Ranger models and is equally suited to winch and non winch applications.
Specifically designed for the PX Ford Ranger, SmartBar’s latest model of the Vehicle Frontal Protection System blends seamlessly to the contours of the vehicle, maintaining the intended aesthetics of the Ford design while providing unparalleled safety.
Every bull bar 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.
Individual components are then folded to make up the sections of the bull bar using a Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machine which ensures maximum accuracy and consistency. Most bull bars utilise ARB’s five fold design, with each fold providing additional strength.
ARB bull bars 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 across all sections.
Once folded, each section is welded utilising a robot welder. Robot welders are used for straightforward, repetitive welding jobs that require deep penetration, speed and accuracy.
When individual components are complete, the bull bar is assembled. 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.
To complete the manufacturing process all ARB bars 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, power coating provides an excellent base for painting if colour coding is required.
