AIRLOCKER, INC. 4x4 Accessories 720 SW 34th Street Renton, WA 98057 Tel. 425 264 1391 | Fax: 425 264 1392 www.arbusa.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Seattle, October 26/ ARB 4x4 Accessories/ -- Australian based four-wheel parts manufacture, has just released their latest winch compatible bumper for the Toyota Tacoma models 2005-2010, now featuring optional fog lights inserts. As with all ARB Deluxe Winch Bar models, the Toyota Tacoma bumper features an airbag compatible mounting system with an ideally engineered weight to strength ratio, which allows the bumper to be light in weight relative to the amount of strength it provides. This ratio is achieved by using strategically placed fold to create the same rigidity and strength as a heavier gauge steel would provide. All of the finer details of ARB Bull Bars are consistently engineered for performance right down to the way the winch is mounted in to the bar. Most ARB bumpers are designed for the winch to be mounted military style or feet first. By fitting the winch with the mounting bolts facing forward in the bar, there is no opportunity for a side load to be placed on the winch mount fasteners while under strain, as would be possible with the more common feet down positioning. By placing the winch mounting system in the strongest position behind the multiple-fold front pan allows for the winch and the bar to work together creating optimal strength and ideal winching performance, while keeping the winch hidden from the elements and possible damage or theft. This winch bar uses a unique split pan design, which improves strength and air flow characteristics. Need more lighting? Optional fog lights can be installed into this bumper for even greater lighting performance. Don’t plan to install a winch? A color matched included plate can be optioned to cover the winch opening. --Continued on the next page-- New Toyota Tacoma Deluxe Bar Winch Bar Full Frontal Protection for Your Late Model Tacoma Page 1

The new ARB Tacoma winch bar comes complete with a stone guard, which is a plate that connects
to the lower section of the bumper and angles down toward the front axle. The stone guard does
more than just fend off the standard under carriage peppering from road debris, it actually acts as
a wind deflector that creates a low pressure pocket behind the engine compartment to ensure that
your vehicle’s cooling system works effectively.
Buffers, indictor and parking lights with optional fog lamps combine with incorporated Hi-Lift
jacking points, twin CB antenna and auxiliary light mounts to complete this well equipped front
protection system.

- Durable Black Powder coat
