Ranger Club UK Welcomes New Sponsor, ARB

 
 
 

We are extremely proud to announce that from 2023, ARB UK are an official sponsor of Ranger Club UK. ARB are Australia’s largest manufacturer and distributor of 4×4 accessories with an export network that extends through more than 80 countries around the globe. Since 2019, ARB have had a strong collaboration with Ford throughout Europe, manufacturing one of the best ranges of accessories available and a catalogue of over 160 Ranger-specific parts.

We decided to partner with ARB UK due to their strategic collaboration with Ford of Europe and Australia as well as their valued input into the All-New Ranger accessory market. Keep your eyes peeled over the coming months as we hope to share their massive catalogue of Ranger specific parts, as well as release our new line of Ranger Club UK ⨉ ARB merchandise.

You’ll also hopefully find them at some of our upcoming events starting from the summer, after their Ultimate 4x4 Open Day on Saturday 8th July!

 
 

The origins of ARB go back to 1975, when company founder, Tony Brown, was inspired by a 4WDing trip through the top end of Australia.
Back then, 4WDers relied on homemade or ill-fitting equipment that was not designed for extensive Outback expeditions. Endless corrugated roads, extreme temperatures, and the heavy loads carried by Australian travellers were tremendously punishing on vehicles that regularly tackled these kinds of conditions. Tony’s many years spent toiling on his Series 1 Land Rover proved extremely beneficial to others in the top end during his travels. Damaged bull bars and broken roof racks ensured Tony’s expertise was regularly called upon, and through this experience an idea was born – well engineered, durable equipment that would meet the vigorous demands of 4WD owners.
