A 4x4 and traction go hand-in-hand; however, standard (open) differentials allow each wheel to turn independently to eliminate binding in turns. Off-road, this becomes a problem as engine power takes the path of least resistance—to the wheel with little or no traction. Limited slip differentials offer some improvement, but too often the slipping is not "limited" enough to maintain forward progress. Automatic locking differentials also have disadvantages; noisy when disengaging, they can also upset on-highway driving characteristics. Created to provide traction on demand, without sacrificing highway driving performance, ARB Air Locker differentials employ a 12 V ARB air compressor (sold separately) to pneumatically operate a solid and durable locking mechanism inside the differential. When activated, the Air Locker prevents the differential gears from rotating and the axle shafts from turning independently of each other. With both wheels tied directly to the rotation of the ring gear, the vehicle maintains maximum possible traction at all times. When unlocked, it operates just like a conventional open differential. ARB Air Lockers are available in over 100 configurations for a wide range of vehicles and can be installed in both front and rear axles. Installation should be performed by a qualified differential technician, although no special tools or skills are required, apart from those necessary for fitting a standard differential. ARB also offers three compressor models suitable for Air Locker operation, two of which can be used to inflate tires and operate other equipment. Additional features of ARB Air Lockers include: * Vastly improved traction means less reliance on momentum, reducing the likelihood of vehicle damage * Easy, convenient operation without leaving the comfort and safety of the driver's seat * Ultra durable and extremely strong; only the highest quality materials used in construction * Patented gear technology and 2-piece design ensures optimal locking strength * Forged gears provide superior strength and durability * Incredibly simple, yet effective, design employs minimal moving parts for maximum reliability * Thoroughly tested and proven * Most sold as kits with differential, activation switch, solenoid valve, air line, and bulkhead fittings * Front and rear Air Lockers available for most makes and models * For 4WD and 2WD applications * Easy maintenance; no special additives required * Also offered in ARB Traction Packs that include two Air Lockers, a compressor, and accessories for tire inflation

ARB Summit front bumpers continue the ARB traditions of pioneering innovation and relentless pursuit of quality. Summit bars are a modern interpretation of the iconic ARB Deluxe bars, styled to complement modern 4x4 vehicles through a fresh, contemporary design. Building upon their proven air bag compatible bull bar mounting structure, Summit front bumpers incorporate unique design features that result in the most visually impressive frontal protection system on the market. Thoughtfully designed chassis mounts are utilized to ensure that Summit bumpers are securely mounted to the chassis and the crush rate characteristics of the air bag system are retained. The bar mounts have had extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) testing and destructive crush testing to ensure that they do not deviate from OE manufacturers' chassis impact performance standards. ARB Summit front bumpers are available in both ARB's textured black Integrit and satin black powdercoat finishes. For those who want to color match a Summit bar to a particular vehicle or paint code color, the powdercoat finish is paint-ready. ARB's proprietary Integrit coating offers class-leading protection and unparalleled corrosion resistance while also being an ultra-low sheen, matte finish. A zinc rich primer is used for additional corrosion resistance.

Unlike most brush guards and bumpers, ARB Sahara bars incorporate a fully engineered mounting system that completely replaces the factory bumper. They are the most stylish in the ARB bumper line with a lower bumper unit fitted with either a standard or optional grille guard hoop (depending on the specific model) for enhanced looks and greater grill protection. Most ARB Sahara bull bars retain OE turn signals, fog lamps, and tow points while offering additional mounts for accessory lights, antennas, and winches. Loaded with features aimed at making remote area travel safe, no other bumper offers the same degree of vehicle integration, protection, or functionality. With an air bag equipped 4x4 it is essential that neither the vehicle's crush rate nor air bag triggering are altered when a bull bar is installed. ARB assesses each vehicle's frontal crush characteristics and replicates the crush rate into the design of the bull bar and its mounting system. This allows engineers to achieve maximum possible vehicle and passenger protection without affecting the crash pulse. ARB has invested heavily in vehicle crash barrier tests to validate the performance and compliance of its air bag compatible bull bars, and their bars offer a far greater level of protection than most standard brush or grille guards.
