GME Partnership to Support Beyond Blue
ARB and GME believe in the importance of communication. With this signature blue antenna, they will be donating $40 from each sale to Beyond Blue to support life-changing mental health initiatives.
After GME released the pink McGrath Foundation antenna, ARB’s Facebook page was flooded with comments asking for a version to support Beyond Blue. ARB and GME mutually agreed on the prospect of supporting a charity that has worked so hard, especially over recent times. In consultation with Beyond Blue, they have produced a blue antenna and are donating an impressive $40 from each sale directly to the mental health charity.
In a time of uncertainty, instability and isolation, the power of communication and connection has been more apparent than ever. “While mental health has always been a serious and important topic, the last 18 months have been particularly difficult. At ARB, we consider ourselves to be very fortunate to be associated with an activity that often provides people an opportunity to escape the daily grind, to destress and to spend much needed time with family and friends. Partnering with GME on this project was the perfect match given the importance of communication for those who battle with mental health. We can only hope that a wave of signature blue antennas on the tracks provides a reminder amongst our 4WDing fraternity to always keep the lines of communication open, start talking, keep talking,” says Mark Berger, Brand Marketing Manager.
Beyond Blue is a well-known mental health organisation that focuses on people affected by depression, anxiety and suicide. They provide information and support for all Australians to achieve their best possible mental health.
The antenna is a 6.6dBi 1200mm antenna and has an interchangeable whip with the AS4700 series. Included in the package is the blue radome antenna, the antenna assembly, a 4.5m coaxial cable and plug as well as the FME to PL259 adaptor.
A limited edition antenna, you can purchase this product exclusively from any ARB store or stockist while stocks last. To contribute towards Beyond Blue directly, all ARB stores and stockists have a QR code on their counter for customers’ convenience.
If you need support, please contact Beyond Blue directly on 1300 22 4636 or visit their website.

ARB Launches New Fire Pit
The best camping trips have certain things in common – good company, cold drinks and a cracking campfire. So when you get to a site where campfires must be contained, it can be deflating if you don’t have the right gear. ARB’s new five-piece collapsible Fire Pit is the perfect addition to your kit, allowing the all-important campfire to set the scene wherever you find yourselves. It’s also completely, 100% Australian made.
Back in 1975, Tony Brown founded ARB in his parents’ garage when he began welding his own roof racks after an eye-opening trip up north. Since then, ARB has grown significantly but still holds the value of Australian manufacturing close to its core.
FEATURES
The Fire Pit is made exclusively in ARB’s Melbourne factory using BlueScope’s REDCOR® steel; a rust-proof Australian steel designed to develop a patina through use and housed in an Australian-made canvas bag, printed in an Australian factory.
Featuring pre-cut holes suitable for spit motor and rod, it comes with a removable grill so you can cook directly over the fire. The Fire Pit measures 600mm L x 496mm W x 300mm H, weighs 18kg and is made from 3mm steel, making the pit a great option for both camping and backyard ambience.
The ARB Fire Pit is available to order now.

The telescopic ladder connects to the top of the PVC cover and can be removed to transport inside the vehicle if preferred, allowing the overall tent to have a lower profile.
Measuring 2200mm x 1400mm and weighing 56kg, the Flinders tent sleeps two adults and is suitable for all weather conditions.

ARB Releases All-New Slide Kitchen
AN INTEGRATED KITCHEN FOR DUAL CAB 4WDS THAT CAN BE SET-UP IN AS LITTLE AS 15 SECONDS!
‘Packing everything but the kitchen sink’ was once regarded as poking fun at those who overpack, but with ARB’s latest release, there’s no reason to stop there.
The ARB Slide Kitchen is an integrated kitchen for your 4WD that sets up in 15 seconds. It features a benchtop, gas stove, utensils drawer and, you guessed it, a kitchen sink and neatly tucks away into one of ARB’s standard dual cab drawers. It’s a full extension freestanding drawer – in fact, it hyper extends – and has an auto lock to prevent the drawer from rolling closed once you are using it. The Slide Kitchen has a 1,250mm kitchen grade stainless steel benchtop and a healthy 30kg weight limit when fully extended, making it a practical platform for loading and unloading the fridge.
FEATURES
The three-burner Thetford stove has two 1.75kw burners and one 2.5kw rapid burner as well as a tempered glass lid that works as a splashback while the stove is in use. Using flame-out technology, the gas supply will be automatically shut off if the flame blows out or the lid closes.
To complete the kitchen, the 12L collapsible silicone sink, with plug, also doubles as a dish drying rack, and includes a utensils holder to assist in the wash-up after you’ve finished cooking. Once collapsed, the sink can be stored in the utensils drawer or can be packed away elsewhere.
For those who don’t want to run a full-time kitchen in their vehicle, there is an optional replacement drawer that can be swapped out with the kitchen to allow for extra storage.
The Slide Kitchen can be integrated with current ARB Outback Solutions drawers or can be purchased with a new set-up. The Slide Kitchen has external measurements of 1,355mm (L) x 505mm (W) x 310mm (H) and can be installed in dual cabs, custom camper trailers or service bodies.
A new intensity of driving light
If you do a lot of driving after dark, you will appreciate the importance of good light. ARB has been a staple in the lighting game for many years, being the first manufacturer of round off road LED driving lights, and the latest iteration of driving light is no exception to the proven track record.
The ARB Intensity Solis light is a nine-inch driving light with 36 OSRAM LEDs, giving you plenty of light for the road ahead. With in-house engineers concentrating on refining the optics to focus the most amount of light while removing flat spots and controlling the beam to the right area, the Solis lights are made and tested for the variable Australian terrain. Impressively, light output has been measured at one lux @ 1,462 metres (2 x spot lights) to NATA industry standards.
With function front of mind, the Solis lights feature a unique digital dimmer control that allows the user to incrementally adjust brightness to suit driving conditions. For users of LINX, the Solis lights can be fully integrated with an optional controller harness to be released in late September.
The Solis lights feature an improved colour temperature of light, which reduces eye strain and fatigue when doing long distance driving. The light also has a die-cast aluminium body that acts as a heat sink and allows the dissipation of heat to keep the lights running at maximum performance.
The famous red ring of the ARB Intensity lights has become intrinsically linked with driving lights over the years and while the Solis lights share a level of design with the Intensity V2 lights, Solis features two bezels on the sides of the light that are interchangeable between red and black, both of which come standard with the light.
Make it your own with ARB's Base Rack
FEATURES
ARB has long offered a range of tried and tested alloy and steel tubular roof racks; while this bulletproof series of classic racks has undoubtedly secured its place within the range, there’s now a new kid in town. ARB’s team of engineers has spent years designing, trialling and testing the all new BASE Rack, a revolutionary new roof rack that is sleeker, stronger, smarter and bound to impress.
Featuring a fully welded extruded aluminium design with beams that run the width of the vehicle, the BASE Rack has the strength of the steel racks at a fraction of the weight.
Due to the strength in the cross beams, there is no requirement for a sub-frame, getting the rack lower to the roof of the vehicle. The low-profile design means the roof rack looks sleek and becomes more integrated in the vehicle’s overall appearance.
Utilising a dovetail system on both side profiles of the rack’s internal beams and the external side of the perimeter beams means there is more flexibility to attach a wide range of accessories where you need them and without disturbing other cargo. The side mounting profile also provides full use of the beams’ top surface and allows the beams to support cargo without worrying about protruding tie-down points.
ARB’s range of accessories also makes fitting cargo to your rack more efficient, saving time and effort during the packing process. Each accessory can be placed wherever you need in the moment, allowing you to Make It Your Own.
ACCESSORIES
The BASE Rack takes accessories and cargo loading to a whole new level of simplicity, speed and personalisation. The dovetail extrusion allows accessories to be added at any point along the beams or perimeter rails without disturbing other items. All accessories feature a clamp mount, which gives a strong connection to the rack.
The accessories available with the BASE Rack are:
Wind deflector – No longer will there be fear of additional cabin noise when fitting a roof rack. The wind deflector is available for a number of wagon models and ensures a quiet and enjoyable driving experience.
Guard rail system – You can attach rails to suit your needs by purchasing the kits to suit. You can get a full rail, 3/4 rail, trade rail or 1/4 rail in a simple kit that you can attach and remove as required.
Eye bolt tie-down – A key accessory included in many BASE Rack accessory kits, the eye bolt tie-downs provide a secure lashing point for standard J-hook ratchet and cambuckle straps and can stay on the rack while not in use. Sold in a pack of four.
Spring-loaded tie-down – Featuring a simple one-handed operation, these are great for one-off needs and quick loading and unloading.
Ratchet strap – A simple ratchet strap but the common J-hook is replaced with a custom dovetail hook that will stay in place once it’s on the rack, so you won’t lose the connection when you walk around to the other side to tighten.
Spare wheel Y-strap – These spare wheel straps are easy to use and secure in place. Simply weave the two adjuster straps through the Y plate and feed the third strap through the ratchet and tighten. The straps incorporate the unique dovetail hook, resulting in no requirement for additional tie-down points.
Awning bracket – Available in classic and quick-release versions, you can quickly mount your awning to the rack securely, spending less time prepping and more time at your destination.
Hi-Lift jack holder – An off road jack is a 4WDer’s best friend. Make sure yours is always accessible with either the classic jack attachment or the premium mount, which includes a quick-release function, jack cradle and security feature.
Roller kit – Alleviate the struggle of loading long or heavy items such as timber by adding the roller kit to the rear or sides of the rack.
Roof rack light bar – Specifically made to suit the BASE Rack, the light bar also has an aluminium body with black powder-coat finish. It’s slimline and has a strong performing combo beam with the option to mount in front of the rack or under the rack as desired.
Recovery track holder – Features a set of brackets that connects to the dovetail track at any point on the rack and allows the manufacturers’ original mounting hardware to be added to hold the recovery tracks in place.
Gas bottle holder – Keep your gas bottle safe and secure when travelling with this handy holder. Capable of holding two-kilogram to nine-kilogram bottles, it incorporates a baseplate for the gas bottle to lock into and secures with eye bolts and strap.
Jerry can holder – There are four variations available with the option of double or single holders in either horizontal or vertical configuration. The brackets are fitted with beam guides to ensure even distribution of weight across the rack.
T-slot adaptor – For the active outdoor adventurer, to use your existing T-slot accessories with the rack. It can attach to the dovetail track at any point on the rack and allows fitment from a range of roof rack accessory manufacturers.
