Summit Bumpers

Constant evolution of the ARB bull bar has resulted in many industry firsts and ARB has continually proven itself to be the industry leader when it comes to development, design and innovation.

Continuing this legacy, ARB is proud to release an all new range of ARB bars. Included in the range is the ARB Summit bar, a new steel bull bar, redesigned from the ground up to provide a bolder presence and a higher level of detail for today’s range of larger, more sophisticated 4WDs.

Recognising a shift in modern vehicle design, moving towards a greater level of refinement, detail and on road presence, ARB decided to task its engineering and product management team with revolutionising the current design. Always looking to improve its product range, the engineering team began a long process of research and development to truly understand the customers’ needs and wants. Paying close attention to the unique styling differences emerging from each manufacturer, the project’s foremost objective was to ensure the bull bar complemented the vehicle whilst still providing the unparalleled level of frontal protection for which ARB’s bars are renowned.

By utilising alternative manufacturing processes such as press forming, and incorporating a range of new and practical features, the ARB development team has created a bar with bold, modern look and a level of finish above all others.

The adventurous nature of 4WDing inevitably increases the risk of vehicle damage when off road. A good quality, well-engineered bull bar provides substantially improved protection for vulnerable mechanical components against animal strikes and other off-road obstacles – a particularly important consideration when travelling in rural and remote areas. The Summit bar’s vehicle-specific design, ensures integration with original equipment components, resulting in maximum functionality and strength.

The Summit bar incorporates a durable steel construction and ARB’s acclaimed multi-fold upswept and tapered wing design for optimum strength and approach angle. Superbly engineered, the bar is air bag compatible with a mounting system that secures to the chassis via high tensile bolts and hardware. The Summit bar also incorporates under bar protection panels on the centre and either side of the bar to ward off water, stones and other road debris. Twin Hi-Lift jack points have been cleverly located below each buffer for optimum strength and reliability, as well as preventing the Hi-Lift jack from interfering with the buffer.

Summit is a modern interpretation of the renowned ARB Deluxe bar, styled to complement modern dual cab and wagon vehicles through a fresh, contemporary design language. Building upon our proven air bar compatible bull bar mounting architecture, the Summit bar incorporates a unique wings and centre pan, wider press formed cover straps, 60.3mm top tubing, two piece polyethylene buffers and redesigned fog light surrounds. This results in the most visually impressive frontal protection system on the market.

CB Antenna Brackets

The Summit Bumper incorporates two CB antenna brackets welded behind the top cross tube. Custom fit, clamp on brackets are also available for additional antenna mounting.

Larger Tubing

60.3mm mandrel steel tubing provides increased frontal protection, as well offering greater visual styling to modern four-wheel-drive vehicles.

Wider Edge Radius

A 30mm wing and center section edge radius offers increased strength while complementing modern vehicle design.

Driving Light Provision

Exceptionally durable and secure, all ARB Bumpers serve as an ideal platform to mount driving lights, helping ensure maximum performance and longevity. Driving lights mounted to a high-quality bumper prevents problems such as excessive movement, a vibrating beam pattern, premature bulb failure and eventual fatiguing of the light bodies.

Press Formed Top-Pan and Cover Panel

Press forming has been utilized to create a stronger center pan that features smooth, continuous edges. A press-formed aluminum winch cover panel finishes off the bumper for when a winch is not installed.

Jacking Points

Eliminating the need for a mounting bracket, jacking points are integrated into the design of Summit Bumpers.

Winch Compatibility

Mounting a winch to a vehicle requires a properly supported structure that is designed to accommodate the stresses of winching. When using a snatch block to increase winching capacity, the forces are multiplied to several times the rated capacity of the winch. The ARB Summit Bumper features the option of fitting a winch, and is designed and tested to endure and exceed such loads.

Split-Pan Design

The wide, split-pan design enhances the strength of the bumper, while providing the radiator and engine with a massive amount of air flow. An integrated winch clutch opening makes winch operation simple.

Air Bag Compatible

With an air bag equipped vehicle, it is essential that the vehicle's crush rate and air bag triggering are not altered when a bumper is installed. ARB assesses each vehicle's frontal crush characteristics and replicates the crush rate into the design of each air bag compatible bumper and its steel mounting system. This achieves maximum possible vehicle and passenger protection without affecting the crash pulse.

Fog Lights

Perfect for driving in inclement weather, these fog lights provide a broad spread of light to illuminate the road ahead.

LED Indicators and Clearance Lights

12 high intensity yellow LEDs and 4 white LEDs provide increased light output in all conditions.

Steel Uprights

Each bumper upright is cut from a single sheet of steel and extends from the top tube through to the bumper section and actually forms part of the bumper to chassis mount. This process ensures the whole outer frame receives the maximum possible support. Wide, press formed cover straps are then welded onto each upright to ensure there are no exposed sharp edges.
