In 1975, an Australian named Tony Brown founded ARB, which stands for the initials of his full name, Anthony Ronald Brown after travelling under extreme conditions in Australia’s Top End, which was then almost a Mecca for the 4WD community. Tony watched below par equipment get destroyed left and right damaging 4x4 vehicles during his adventure.

When he came home, he decided to address the growing demands of 4WD owners for quality truck accessories that will aid 4x4 trucks in conquering vast distances and rugged terrain. Tony worked hard using a combination of high quality raw materials and sound design principles to achieve his goal. Today, ARB Accessories is not just Australia’s largest manufacturer and distributor, their products are now being exported to the United States and in over 80 countries across the globe.

Today, ARB Accessories offers a wide range of accessories such as air lockers, compressors, differential cover, fridges, lights, roof racks, sliders and steps, snorkels, suspension systems, tire accessories, touring and camping gear, tow straps and recovery gear, tire carriers and bumpers.

Truck bumpers are used not just because of the aesthetic value they add to vehicles, but more importantly, because of the extra protection it brings to a vehicle’s front end. Safety is the most crucial consideration to have when getting a bumper or bull bar. ARB offers three distinct truck bumper styles that provide the heavy duty front end protection that you want.

ARB Deluxe Bumpers or Bull Bars provide the best front end protection among their offerings. ARB Bumpers are designed with careful consideration of each vehicle’s design, crush rate, airbag deployment, approach angles, accessory fitting, strength and weight, as well as aesthetics to ensure the maximum functionality of the bumper.

Buckstop Bumpers

February 17th, 2010

Buckstop Truckware makes some of the best and most wanted truck winch bumpers around. They claim to offer extreme functionality, strength and quality, but do they deliver on that promise?

Buckstop Bumpers are made using a resilient ¼” steel in the primary impact zone and winch center and 3/16” steel beneath the headlights. To prevent corrosion, all the critical seams of the steel bumpers are welded both on the inside and out to prevent rust from developing. Furthermore, the steel bars are fully sandblasted and acid washed before the primer powder coat, baked and cured, topped with silver then baked and cured once again.

For maximum utility, Buckstop Bumpers are equipped with built-in mounting for all standard 4 ½” x 10” bolt pattern winches. To preserve the winch for years to come, top access door latches are designed to keep it hidden and protected from the elements. They also have OEM J-type tow hooks or relocated factory tow hooks. In addition, Buckstop Bumpers also have a trailer receiver for carrier style winches, backing up trailers in small spaces and a lot more. It’s a must-have and Buckstop Bumpers made them standard because of it.
