A
RB Rear Bars
Built to the same uncompromising standards as our bull bars, all
ARB rear bars incorporate a heavy duty towing system and will
in most cases accommodate up to two tyres or a tyre and a jerry
can holder.
There are many benefits associated with fitting a rear bar to a
vehicle. Many 4WDs have their spare tyre positioned underneath
the vehicle making it difficult to access and vulnerable to damage,
particularly in harsh off road environments. Others have their
spare tyre mounted on the back door, wich can place stress on the
door hinges, resulting in rattles and compromised dust sealing as
increased wear is put on the door assembly. Both of these mounting
methods can also prove unsuitable if larger tyre size is sought.
An ARB rear bar addresses all of these issues, relocating the spare
tyre onto the bumper assembly via a swing out carrier. Jerry can
holders are also available, along with Hi-Lift jacks.
Operation of the swing out carriers couldn´t be simpler. Slight
pressure applied to a lever opens each carrier with a gas strut
holding the carrier in the open position, engagement of the locking
pin only being necessary if the vehicle is on an extreme side angle.
The carrier can be closed with a simple slam shut, with the spring
loaded locking pin automatically disengaging as soon as the
weight is released.
