ARB Rear Step Tow Bar
Due to the long rear overhang on many modern 4×4 dual cab utes, rear quarter panels and factory bumper bars are very susceptible to damage, particularly when traversing steep, rocky terrain.
Available for single cab, extra cab and dual cab models, and manufactured from steel, with a vehicle specific mounting system, ARB’s rear step tow bar will provide a massive amount of protection for the rear of your HiLux. To add additional functionality, each rear step tow bar also incorporates a heavy duty towing system, complete with a removable hitch.
An additional wiring loom for trailer lighting may be required. Contact your local ARB store or authorised stockist for full details.
Note: Not suitable for 4×2 SR5 models. An alternative hitch may need to be sourced for 2WD vehicles.
FEATURES
- Available for utilities
- Protects vulnerable rear quarter panels
- Integrated heavy duty towing system
- Integrated towing eyes and tread plate step
- Removable hitch included
- Steel construction with vehicle specific mounting system
ARB REAR BAR AND WHEEL CARRIER
ARB’s range of rear bars, incorporating wheel carriers and jerry can holders, provide additional functionality while delivering high quality vehicle protection.
4WDs with the spare tyre mounted on the back door can suffer from unnecessary door assembly stress, while a spare wheel located underneath a vehicle can be difficult to access, be more prone to damage and may affect ground clearance when driving off road. Both of these mounting methods can also prove unsuitable if a 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.
CARRIER OPERATION
The carriers operate on gas struts that are sufficient to hold each side open in most situations. However, if the vehicle is on an extreme side angle, the locking pin can be engaged to ensure each side remains open.
EASY TO OPERATE
The wheel carrier and jerry can holder is easy to operate, and can be opened by pulling a lever. To close, you simply shut it as you would a car door.
QUICK, CONVENIENT ACCESS
The ARB rear bar system ensures quick, convenient access to the rear of your vehicle.
