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 ARB Summit MKII Bar muscles up with the most innovative and advanced technology yet, all while fully integrating with Toyota’s suite of advanced driver assist safety technology that are specific to the MY24.
The state-of-the-art Summit MKII Bar takes key components of its flagship namesake and kicks it up a notch with an ultra-modern design that’s constructed to turn heads.
Bridging functionality and style, ARB’s Zenith Bar is designed to turn heads whilst providing your vehicle with industry-leading protection and performance.
Zenith utilises ARB’s extensive knowledge of manufacturing frontal protection equipment, and is constructed from laser cut and formed durable steel. For increased versatility the Zenith Bar features a centrally integrated bash plate, twin 8T-rated recovery points and provision for optional driving lights and a winch, ensuring you’re ready for any off road challenge.

ARB commercial bull bars and winch bars are a cost effective alternative to deluxe bull bars, offering a comparable level of vehicle protection.
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.
Commercial bars are frequently specified by government and fleet operators – organisations that demand strong and functional equipment but are willing to go without some of the aesthetic characteristics.
Note: images are for illustrative purposes only.
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 five fold upswept and tapered wing design, which provides an enormous amount of strength and maintains an optimum approach angle.

76.1mm steel centre frame tube and 47.6mm outer frame tube for added strength.
Some ARB commercial bars incorporate CB aerial brackets welded behind the top cross tube.
Secure mounting points ideal for IPF or ARB Intensity driving lights.
The mounting system is a vital part of any ARB bull bar design. ARB’s mounting systems are specifically engineered to spread impact and winching loads evenly over the vehicle’s chassis. This ensures the bull bar functions properly in extreme conditions.
Some commercial bars feature Hi-Lift jacking points, allowing a Hi-Lift jack to be attached directly to the bar (not shown).
Some commercial bars are available with electric winch provision, and have been specifically designed to accommodate the stresses of winching.
ARB’s engineers give careful consideration to maintaining sufficient airflow to the vehicle’s radiator. Utilising a split pan system, ARB’s bull bar design ensures the radiator receives a massive amount of airflow and actually further increases the strength of the bar.
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.
