Why ARB Side Rails and Steps?
ARB Side Rails and Steps are a product ARB has been manufacturing for decades. Chassis Mounted along the step, mounted to the Bull Bar at the front of the Side Rail.
The ARB Side Step chassis mounting provides Rock Slider protection for the sill panels and doors when off-roading, the top plate provides extra purchase grip as a step.
ARB Bull Bar engineering takes into consideration a range of factors, including air bag deployment, panel crush rate, approach angles, overall strength vs weight, vehicle design and aesthetics. They are thoroughly tested to validate safety compliance and compatibility with modern adaptive cruise control, parking sensors and collision avoidance systems.
Winch mountings are not only winch compatible, they are winch rated to a specified capacity.
ARB Bull Bar design has been market leader for decades, and as such, has often been copied with lesser quality replicas. The use of thinner low quality steel, lighter chassis mountings without engineering, are construction features the unwitting buyer may not be aware of, but the experienced eye will note these shortcomings.
