I like this one the best out of all the rear bumpers so far. Too bad it won't allow you to keep the factory hitch.


edit: I just read that you also can't run your rear back up sensors...not sure if I'm liking this set up.

DeMello building a rear bumper with built in backup lights, good step to get to my rack and through bumper hitch available, looks good.......pictures.

Nice! Surprised it only weigh 30kgs? 66lbs?

I wonder/bet you could pull that d-ring mount and hard mount a pintel hook in the same spot.

Just a guess, but it can solve your tow hitch problem.

ARB is first class!

Nice. Too bad they don't make the FJ60 rear bar any more. It was very clean looking.

The ARB 6x series rear bumper did look nice, but those that ran them had problems with the bumper ends pushing up into the body (deflecting off an obstacle). You would be better off with something a little more sturdy, but I guess it doesn't matter since ARB stopped making them.

That is interesting. I wondered what the deal was with those.

i believe that arb never made a production run 60 series rear bumper. they made a one-off for the black dakar truck in australia, but nothing that was official.

however, arb did import the kaymar rear 60 series bumper for some time.

I was thinking the same thing... I was trying to rack my brain as to wether or not I had ever seen a ARB 60 rear bar with the exception of the prototype on the ARB Dakar 60. Now I have some clarity

As for other ARB Rear Bumpers... TOP NOTCH!!

In the last couple of months, I have had bumper by ARB, Slee, Hannah and 4x4Labs in my hands for either installation or to pass onto a customer. While all are excellent bumpers and top notch construction, the ARB bumpers really have some innovation... and style!
