ARB Is Here – Ask Us Anything About Your 4th Gen Build

[marie_arb]

Hey Tacoma4G!

We’re excited to be here and to officially join this community. Whether you’re deep into your 4th Gen Tacoma build or just starting to explore upgrading your truck, ARB 4x4 Accessories is here to support your adventure on- and off-road

For those unfamiliar with ARB, we’ve been around since 1975 (cheers to 50 years!), developing rugged and reliable gear to help 4WD vehicles go farther, safer. From our Old Man Emu suspension kits to recovery gear, bumpers, drawers, Air Lockers, and our new brushless compressor, our focus has always been quality, durability, and performance.

Since the launch of the 4th Gen Tacoma, we’ve been working on making some of your favorite ARB gear available for the platform. So far, that includes Old Man Emu suspension kits, a roof rack, a front bumper, and an Air Locker. Want to see what else we offer? Browse our full product lineup here!

Most recently, we teamed up with Toyota on the all-new Tacoma Trailhunter. This rig comes straight from the factory with a lineup of ARB components, including a co-developed OME suspension system, heavy-duty rear bumper with recovery points, and a MOLLE-equipped bed rack and sport bar.

If you’re torn between trims, the Trailhunter is a great choice for anyone looking to hit the trails without spending months piecing together a build. And since it’s all installed by Toyota, you get the added bonus of full warranty coverage for peace of mind right out of the gate.

Now we want to hear from you. What are your thoughts on the Trailhunter?

Has anyone here picked one up yet? If so, what’s your favorite ARB feature on it? Be honest… What would you change or add? And don’t forget to drop some photos!

And if you don’t have a Trailhunter, what’s the #1 ARB mod on your wishlist?

We’re excited to be part of the community and can’t wait to share updates, tips, and gear insights for your 4th Gen Tacomas. If you ever have any questions, drop them below, and we’ll make sure you get an answer.

I would like a MOD kit for my Trailhunter’s ARB Chase rack to easily be able to mod the rack and mount it on my ReTrax XR Pro aluminum retractable tonneau cover.

The purpose of the trail hunter is for camping and overlanding. Camping gear needs to be secure. Some of us add a tonneau cover. Others use a full rack or bed cap or truck camper. For those of us with the tonneau cover the following request would apply.

I would like a cutting and drilling template for the rack and instructions on measuring. I’d like hardware in the kit to remount the rack. I’m thinking that a tie that goes underneath would work for mating the rack to many types of tonneau covers. The ReTrax to ARB Chase rack installation should be more stable than simply using the tiny type T nuts in the small track that comes on the ReTrax.

Another approach would be to replace the sides of the rack with sides that will bolt to the tunnel cover instead of having us cut up the rack. It would cost a lot more, but be a simpler approach for many of us. For me, I would rather cut the rack that I have rather than spend a lot more money.

Perhaps ARB can design a tonneau cover that works with the Chase rack. That would really hit it out of the park for so many of us. One does not have to have a Trailhunter to take advantage of these options. Lots of Toyota dealers and plenty of owners have optioned the ARB Chase rack on their non-Trailhunter trucks. My Trailhunter has a 6’2” bed. I would love to have a tonneau cover that does not utilize the OEM bed tie down rails inside the truck. I wish I could use those rails for tying down loads and installing gear. One huge PITA is that I have to uninstall part of the ReTrax tonneau cover connectors in order to move things around and the rails.

I would also like some sleeker steps that bolt onto my OEM rock rails. I’m currently using N-fab steps. ARB could make something more functional. Needs to be able to quick release so we can take it off when we’re on rutted, rocky trails.

Looking forward to adding some Old Man Emu suspension to my Off-Road build!

Do you have any pictures of the 3523060 Compressor mounting bracket installed with and without the compressor? Where does it mount? Under the hood, in the bed?

Also are your authorized bumper and suspension install locations trained by ARB? I am contemplating your Zenith winch bumper and old man emu lift kit. I can accomplish the job myself no worries. But am considering having your installer do it. This issue is I am super picky about how things are done. I would feel better having the lift and bumper installed with factory trained installers. My confidence is not real high with my local 4 wheel parts being one of the authorized installers.

The pics on this post show a zenith bumper with hoops that is not on your website. Is this an upcoming model not released yet?

Thanks in advance

That’s the Toyota factory ARB accessory bumper. It comes on the trail hunter. I have one on my TRD Off Road.

Do you have a link to the bumper. I can’t seem to find it online or they do not exist in the Canadian market.

Any plans to have accessories for the ARB Sports Bar that comes with Trailhunters?

Make the ARB Ascent Truck Cap for the long bed.

Are you looking for the front bumper or the rear one? If it is the rear one, they just released the OEM ARB accessory rear bumper in the Canadian market just recently. There are 2 versions. One with and one without sonar(the parking sensors). If you give your VIN to a Toyota parts advisor they can look up which one is applicable to your vehicle and the necessary replacement harness. If you are looking at the front bumper, that is ARBs Zenith bumper you can get directly from them.

I have the ARB rack. I would like a locking hatch to secure my gear when I'm away from my truck.
