A region of vast distances and rugged terrain\u003cbr\u003e it was fast becoming a Mecca for the nation?s burgeoning 4WD community. However\u003cbr\u003e the very environment that attracted 4 wheelers also wreaked havoc on their equipment ? when driving in extreme conditions\u003cbr\u003e only the best 4?4 accessories will do. This was the conclusion drawn by Tony Brown during his travels at the time. While exploring the treasures of the Top End\u003cbr\u003e the skills Tony gained from working on his Land Rover were regularly called on to mend damaged bull bars and broken roof racks. Bar work back then was crude\u003cbr\u003e not at all suited to overland touring\u003cbr\u003e and through this experience an idea was born ? high quality equipment that met the vigorous demands of 4WD owners. Upon returning to Melbourne\u003cbr\u003e Tony put theory into practice via the family garage\u003cbr\u003e where he sought to address the product deficiencies he?d encountered. His vision called for a combination of sound design principles and reliable raw materials? a simple solution to an endemic problem. The concept was embraced when it hit the fledgling 4?4 market\u003cbr\u003e and ARB ? the initials of Anthony Ronald Brown ? was founded. Today\u003cbr\u003e ARB is Australia?s largest manufacturer and distributor of 4?4 accessories. We also have an international presence\u003cbr\u003e with an office in the US and an export network that extends through more than 80 countries around the globe. Our philosophy\u003cbr\u003e however\u003cbr\u003e has never wavered from its original course ? quality\u003cbr\u003e reliability and practicality above all else.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"ARB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47867253653762,"sku":"ARB1770180","price":549.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/0618\/0354\/files\/188b44929add5af74f0ff493b711d962L.jpg?v=1786240192","url":"https:\/\/www.lethalperformance.com\/products\/arb-base-rack-775x1285-modular","provider":"Lethal Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
