Installation of an ARB Off Road Front Bumper may require modification and/or removal of factory components such as: bumper covers, bumper beams, fender liners, splash guards, fog lights, electrical wiring, towing equipment, hitch points, and other near-by items. Most bumper applications feature (or have provisions for) running / turn-signal / fog lights, driving lights, winch and fairlead, recovery jack points, CB antenna, proximity sensors (when applicable). Installation of ancillary items may require their own installation hardware and vehicle modification, separate from the bumper installation.
These custom fabricated ARB Off Road Front Bumpers are a sure option for those who are needing to make the most out of their four-wheel drive Nissan Xterra. Aside from the obvious increase in ground clearance and protection they provide your Nissan Xterra, ARB off-road bumpers also allow for installing accessories like a winch, CB antenna, auxiliary lights, high-lift jack, and basically anything you might need for increased off-road capability.
ARB's experience with custom fabricated bumpers dates back to 1975, and it really shows with how well their bumpers are designed. Their custom tailored bracketry and hardware makes fitment a breeze. By taking into account factory systems such as adaptive cruise control, the ARB bumpers ensure a headache-free install with provisions for proximity sensors and similar components.
Additionally, ARB takes things a step further by factoring in crush rate, airbag deployment, bumper strength and weight; things they validate through performance testing to ensure compatibility with the rest of the vehicle and replicate the factory crash safety characteristics. You can drive in confidence knowing your ARB bumper is built from durable steel that integrates perfectly with your Nissan Xterra's chassis.
Lastly, the ARB off-road bumpers are made to last, featuring high-grade manufacturing techniques that produce a quality product. Starting with the fabricated bumper made of thick gauge steel, the 0.102" thick tubing is then mandrel bent into a bull-bar and the entire assembly welded together with added bracing and gussets to ensure maximum strength. After this, the bars are coated in a high-zinc primer for maximum protection from rust, and finished in a black powdercoat with an ultra-low sheen matte finish. Optionally, some applications are offered with ARB's proprietary Integrit powder coating for increased durability and corrosion protection. The polymer blend delivers resistance to damage from road debris, surface abrasion, weathering, and has been proven for up to 3,000 hours of salt spray testing!
