Despite the current financial situation, ARB, a proudly Australian owned company, is defying the odds and expanding by welcoming on board two new ARB stores, while extensive growth has also resulted in another two established stores being relocated to larger premises.

ARB Geelong, located at 157 Fyans Street in Victoria and ARB Maroochydore, situated at 1/127 Sugar Road in Queensland, are officially now open for business. Offering expert knowledge and ARB’s extensive range of products, both stores are well set up to prepare 4WDers for any off road adventure.

ARB Geelong, known formerly as Geelong 4WD Centre, is owned and operated by a third generation family synonymous with automotive services in Geelong for 75 years. ARB Maroochydore, previously operating as Northcoast 4×4 Accessories, is also an established business and renowned for their exceptional service and 4WD experience.

Further contributing to ARB’s expansion, two previously established stores have recently relocated to new premises. Having outgrown their previous locations due to customer demand, larger premises will allow each store to carry a more comprehensive product range and offer even greater service. Located at 27 Elizabeth Way in South Australia, ARB Gawler has now become ARB Elizabeth, while ARB Mackay has moved to the new address of 9 Caterpillar Drive in Paget, Queensland.

These new stores will bring even more expertise into ARB’s large network of stockists around the country, offering outstanding service by friendly and experienced staff, many of whom are 4WD enthusiasts. Stocking the complete ARB range from bull bars and protection equipment, to ARB Air Lockers and Old Man Emu suspension, ARB stores also stock a selection of other items aimed at making any off road adventure more enjoyable.

Suspension Travel It doesn't matter how good a tyre you have, if they can't contact the ground then you lose forward motion. An upgraded long travel suspension helps your vehicle maintain tyre contact in extreme situations. Another benefit is that in a lot of cases, the ride is more controlled and comfortable, although today, manufacturers have softened up the most hardy vehicles in their range to a point that for serious 4WD a new heavier suspension must be fitted to cope with the terrain and loads.
