To coincide with the release of the new 70 Series LandCruisers, ARB has been hard at work on a range of accessories for these vehicles, with a number of bull bar and winch bar models now available.

Designed to enhance the tough looks of the LandCruisers, the new bull bars will provide an enormous amount of frontal protection. ARB bull bars are engineered to ensure that each one is specifically designed for its respective vehicle for optimum functionality and an exceptional fit. A number of different versions are available to suit these LandCruiser models to cater for winch and non-winch applications, and flared and non-flared vehicles. Maximum strength is paramount for a bull bar, and the LandCruiser bars utilise 4mm thick chassis mounts, winch mounts and uprights to ensure a properly supported structure that maintains its functionality in extreme circumstances. The wing area of a bar can be extremely vulnerable in the event of an animal strike, which is why the bars utilise 3mm thick tapered and upswept wings, providing optimum strength and approach angle. The improved clearance also allows a greater variety of larger diameter tyres to be fitted. To complete the design, the outer frame section is manufactured from 2.6mm wall thickness tube, shaped using an internal mandrel bender which ensures consistency and even wall thickness across all sections.

For recovery purposes, the winch bull bar versions will suit Warn winches from 9000lb to 12,000lb, and all bars incorporate Hi-Lift jacking points neatly positioned in the centre pan. Utilising the original equipment tow points and fog lights (where fitted), additional practicality can be gained through the fitment of driving lights and CB aerials. Finished in a durable black powder coat, optional colour coding is available to tailor to individual vehicles.

In addition to bull bars, ARBŐs engineering team is currently working on a complete range of accessories to cater for the new LandCruiser models. Old Man Emu suspension, ARB Air Lockers, dual battery systems and more will become available over the coming months, so contact your local ARB store for the latest information.
