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.
SUMMIT BULL BAR
The Summit bull bar builds on the renowned ARB Deluxe bull bar architecture, and integrates a fresh and contemporary design language to complement modern vehicles.
Available for Everest models, Summit bars are winch compatible and provide next generation protection and styling for your vehicle. Laser cut holes for mounting ARB Intensity LED, IPF and Bushranger driving lights are integrated into the top pan of the bar, while ARB’s LED indicator and clearance light assembly is included as standard.
Supplied in a durable black satin powdercoat finish, colour coding is available as an option for a fully integrated look.
Note: Bar shown with optional fog light kit.

SPARTANBAR
Innovative, lightweight and strong, SmartBar bull bars are far from your average bar. Designed with vehicle and pedestrian safety at front of mind, they utilise a polyethylene construction that flexes to absorb the forces of an impact, and returns to near perfect shape within minutes (in most cases). This cushioning effect not only protects your Pajero Sport’s vital engine components, minimising the risk of immobilising your vehicle in remote locations, but also prolongs the life of the bull bar; saving on potential replacement costs.

BULL BAR PRODUCTION STEPS
Laser Cutting
Every bumper 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.
Folding
Individual components are then folded to make up the sections of the bumper using a Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machine which ensures maximum accuracy and consistency. Most bumpers utilise ARB's five fold design, with each fold providing additional strength.
Tube Work
ARB Bumpers 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 accross all sections.
Robot Welding
Once folded, each section is welded utilizing a robot welder. Robot welders are used for straightforward, repetitive welding jobs that require deep penetration, speed and accuracy.
Assembly
When individual components are complete, the bumper is assebled. 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.
Post Assembly
To complete the manufacturing process all ARB bumpers 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, powder coating provides an excellent base for painting if colour coding is required.
