Countless adventures. One trusted name in 4x4.
In 1975, a simple idea sparked a revolution in off road gear. ARB began as a one-man operation in a Melbourne driveway, where Tony Brown, after experiencing the limitations of off-road equipment during a trip to Cape York, decided to design and build more reliable, rugged gear. What started with hand-crafted roof racks and bull bars quickly grew into a trusted name in the 4x4 community.
ARB’s dedication to creating durable, adventure-ready products set the foundation for the brand’s journey, leading to its rise as a market leader in aftermarket 4x4 accessories, serving customers worldwide.
From those humble beginnings to becoming a pioneer in the off road industry, ARB’s journey is marked by innovation and an unwavering commitment to performance.
Over the years, ARB has introduced groundbreaking products like the iconic Bull Bar, BP-51 suspension, Air Lockers, Earth Camper, Altitude Rooftop Tent, Brushless Air Compressors and much more - all designed to elevate the off road experience.
With a legacy built on strength and reliability, ARB has grown alongside the off road community, continuing to engineer high-quality, tough products that help adventurers push the limits of exploration.
