Bumpers

If you're spending time on trails, running remote routes, or building a vehicle for overlanding, the factory bumper isn't going to keep up. The most common reasons people make the switch are for: protection from obstacles, the need for mounting a winch, and wanting a platform for lights and recovery gear.

ARB bumpers are built from durable steel throughout. Newer lines like the Zenith use 3mm laser-cut and formed steel for an optimized strength-to-weight ratio. All bumpers go through a corrosion-resistant finishing process, with select models adding ecoat, meta prep priming, or zinc-rich primer for additional protection against the elements.

ARB bumpers are vehicle-specific. Each one is engineered and tested for a particular make, model, and year range, replacing the factory bumper entirely and mounting directly to the chassis through a purpose-built mounting kit that comes included with the bumper. Use the vehicle filter at the top of the page to confirm fitment for your rig.

Approach angle is one of those things that matters a lot more than most people realize until they're on the trail. It refers to the steepest angle your vehicle can drive up, without the front of the vehicle making contact with the obstacle before the tires do. The lower and wider your front end sits, the shallower that angle gets, which means more trails become off-limits before you even get started. A poorly designed aftermarket bumper can actually make this worse than stock by adding weight and bulk in exactly the wrong places.

ARB bumpers are designed to avoid this. The wing design used across the Deluxe and Summit lines keeps the outer edges elevated rather than hanging low where they'd catch on obstacles. On the other hand, our Zenith bumper’s low-profile build keeps the front overhang minimal so the bumper doesn't reach out ahead of the tires. And the Stubby is ideal for builds running larger tires where a full-width bumper could not clear the tires.
