Deluxe Front Bumper by ARB 4x4

When it comes to the world of aftermarket off road parts and accessories, ARB is one of the largest manufacturers of these products in the world.  They are an Australian based company that got their start in 1975 when a man named Tony Brown decided that he was not happy with the quality and variety of off road arts and accessories that were currently on the market.  As a result, he went home to Melbourne and started ARB right in his own home garage.  He focused on improving the manufacturing practices that were currently in use so that he could make products that were more durable and more able to handle the harshness that the off road is known for.

The traditional style front bumper made by ARB is called the Deluxe Front Bumper and it offers increased protection to the front of your Jeep.  This bumper is air bag compatible.  The design incorporates a sort of sculptured wing design so that you get the best in terms of appearance and fit.  It has been press formed to accommodate your factory fog lights and it also has integrated HiLift jack points as well as a pair of CB brackets right on the center tube.  It also features provisions for a winch.  This bumper is compatible with both 2 door and 4 door models.

The conditions of the Australian Outback are some of the harshest on the planet.  If off road parts and accessories can withstand the conditions there, they can withstand them anywhere.  For this reason, all ARB parts and accessories are field tested right in the Australian Outback.  Not only that, they are field tested on the vehicles that they are meant for.  This means that you get parts and accessories that will work on your vehicle with precision and durability.

Dana 44 ARB Differential Cover

ARB happens to be one of the largest manufacturers and distributers of aftermarket off road parts and accessories in the world.  They are based in Australia and began in the mid-1970s when a man named Tony Brown decided that he wasn’t finding good enough parts and accessories available for 4WD vehicles.  He decided to return to his home in Melbourne and ARB was born.  His main focus was on improving upon the current practices so that accessories that were more durable could be made and marketed; accessories that could withstand all of the harshness of the off road world.

ARB is constantly improving.  They know that innovation is key to being successful in the industry.  Yes, they are at the head of the pack in terms of manufacturers and distributors of aftermarket off road parts and accessories in Australia while they are also a heavy hitter in the market globally, but they are constantly seeking out new ideas and innovations to bring to their already impressive product line.  Every single year, they invest quite a bit of capital into their product research, development and testing.  Their new products can spend years in development from the initial idea to the engineering and development, testing and even safety procedures before they are released to the public.  Because of this system, nothing that leaves the ARB warehouse is less than 100% stylish, durable, reliable and solid. 

Dana 44 ARB Differential Cover

When you trick out your rig with this differential cover made by ARB, the hazards of the trail won’t be able to keep you from getting where you need to be.  This cover has been cast from a solid piece of nodular iron and is heavy duty enough to give you the ultimate protection for your ring and pinion while also increasing the rigidity of your axle.  These covers have been made so that they simply bolt on to your Dana axle.

The axle’s weakest point is the sheet metal that the factory calls a differential cover.  Replace that tin hat with the maximum rigidity and burly protection that the ARB differential cover can give you.  The enhanced stiffness ensures that the pinion and ring gears are fully meshed which in turn gives you an increase in load strength as well as in the life of the components.  In addition, the exterior angled surface as well as the recessed bolt heads assist in optimizing those always important approach and departure angles.

Included with this cover are the dipstick, magnetized drain plug, mounting bolts and the cover itself.  With all of this, you will be able to adjust your oil levels for the angles while checking it for damage when you are in a jam.  If all this were not enough, the cover comes with a 2 year warranty!

ARB 4x4 4 Inch JK Wrangler Lift Kit

ARB believes that only the best in terms of gear and protection will do when you happen to be driving in those extreme conditions that we love so well.  For that very reason, since 1975, they have made it their goal to make the high quality equipment and gear that will meet the demands of the most adventurous 4WD drivers.

In all actuality, it all began in a family garage.  That said, ARB quickly made the transformation to the largest manufacturer of aftermarket off road parts and accessories in Australia.  Now, they even have an office right here in the USA and as such are quickly becoming a worldwide known name.  However, even with all of the success and growth that they have experienced, they have never lost sight of the fundamentals that have brought them this far.  Those are: practicality, reliability and quality.

ARB is able to maintain their position as an industry leader by using only the most state of the art, modern fabrication machinery and equipment.  Beyond that, they only employ craftsmen who are both motivated and highly skilled.  For those reasons, you can rest assured that only superior craftsmanship and cutting edge designs are used for each and every product made by ARB.

JK Wrangler 4 Inch Lift

When you want to talk about aftermarket products that are complex, 4 wheel drive suspensions are about as complex as you can get.  Finding out what your needs are and then finding the appropriate solution requires much attention to detail with quite a few factors.  Unlike many aftermarket suspension systems for JKs that focus solely on your target lift, the suspension lift kits made by ARB come in a total boxed kit that has everything in it that you will need in order to fine tune not only your ride height but also will accommodate for the weight of any and all of your accessories.  The kits do all of this while still allowing you to maintain the quality of your ride.

The Engineers at ARB had an objective: to make a total 4 inch lift kit specifically for the Jeep JK Wrangler.  They researched the market to determine what was already available as well as the solutions offered by their competitors.  When all of that information was gathered, they decided to give their customers more value for their money in the form of a solution that was well engineered and provided excellent handling and ride characteristics.

This kit bolts on with ease and has gone through untold amounts of engineering resources.  Most JK lift kits only offered a 2 inch lift so this one was something totally new.  ARB has accomplished this with amazing alacrity and ingenuity.
