ARB Accessories for Toyota LandCruiser Prado 150 Series

Owners of the new Toyota LandCruiser Prado 150 Series can now enjoy a range of quality products for their vehicle following extensive research and engineering from the team at ARB. Several deluxe bull bars and Sahara bars have just been released, as well as roof racks, side rails, a dual battery system, Old Man Emu suspension and Air Locker locking differentials

A massive amount of research and design has gone into the development of frontal protection equipment for the Prado. The most appropriate ARB bar for your Prado will depend on your specific vehicle model and its additional extras, such as winch provision, optional centre-grill-located camera, HID lights and anti collision radar. These elements were factored into the engineering process, resulting in three different deluxe bar designs and a further two Sahara bar models. It is highly recommended that customers discuss with ARB sales staff in regard to the most suitable bar for their Prado.

Featuring ARB’s renowned multi fold and upswept tapered wing design, the new bars are exceptionally strong and will provide your vehicle with an enormous amount of frontal protection. The bars’ vehicle-specific design incorporates a mounting system that has been fully redesigned from the ground up and extensively tested to ensure it suits the vehicle’s crush curve. Mount brackets are independent and adjustable, while a bracing system for the winch mount bracket has been incorporated for full bar stability when winching.

Winch compatible bars will accommodate a range of Warn electric models up to 9500lbs and all bars incorporate twin Hi-Lift jacking points in the centre pan for additional recovery capability, plus CB aerial brackets, IPF and optional fog light provision, and access to factory tow points. Sahara bar models offer Prado owners the added option of configuring the bar either with or without the 76mm polished centre tube.

Manufactured from steel, all bars feature specific wing panels and a stone tray to assist in protecting the undercarriage from rocks and road debris. Finished in a hard-wearing powder coat, the bars also come with the option of colour coding for increased aesthetics.

To allow the Prado to run auxiliary accessories such as fridges and lights without flattening the main battery, a dual battery system is now available for diesel vehicles. With a 3mm steel construction battery tray finished a durable satin black powder coat, the complete kit contains the Sure Power smart solenoid plus the necessary wiring and mounting hardware.

Other available items for the Prado include side rails, a range of roof racks, and front and rear Air Lockers. An entirely new Old Man Emu suspension system has also just been released and achieves approximately 50mm of lift both at the front and rear of the vehicle.

Remember, a 4x4 cannot be treated like a normal car when cornering. The 4WD will roll over much easier than a car while cornering, due to the higher center of gravity. This applies to gravel and paved roads equally. Although a four wheel drive vehicle generally has better traction on gravel than a car, when safe cornering speeds are exceeded the four wheel drive will tend to roll earlier than a car.
