ARB Bull Bars
Essential for rural and remote area travel, ARB Bull Bars provide improved protection for the radiator and other mechanical components of your vehicle. While protecting against scrapes and panel damage or when you hit an animal, they provide a solid base for mounting other accessories like driving lights, winches, and CB antennas.
ARB bars are superbly engineered and manufactured not only to maintain maximum functionality, but also to ensure that your vehicle looks the part. TDS stocks the full ARB Bull Bars range, from the sleek Deluxe styles to the super strong and functional commercial bars, through to nudge bars for smaller SUVs and utes.
ARB Canopies
For work or play and anything in between, ARB canopies deliver the highest level of usability and comfort combined with premium design. Think flexible storage space, weatherproofing and increased security for your cargo. Within the extensive TDS range of ARB canopies, you’ll find a product that not only suits your personal requirements, but enhances the appeal of any ute.
Built tough and proven to be reliable in harsh New Zealand environments, ARB’s canopies are manufactured from UV stable ABS thermoplastic. It’s a dependable solution you can rely on for many years to come. Your investment is protected with a 3 year, 60,000km nationwide warranty, all backed by ARB’s renowned aftersales support.
ARB Air Lockers
When you’re up against a steep incline, tackling uneven and rocky terrain or a slippery mud track, being able to take advantage of traction is one of the most important elements of 4WD driving. Although your 4×4 is designed to receive power to all 4 wheels, it can only be delivered to two wheels at one time, unless you apply a differential lock. ARB has created one of the world’s best locking differentials, the ARB Air Locker. ARB Air Lockers are an Australian designed and manufactured selectable diff locker that can be activated at the flick of a switch at any speed.
Outback Solutions Drawer Systems
Engineered for both on road and off-road touring, the Outback Solutions range is the answer to all your storage needs. The ARB Outback Solutions range of drawer systems can be individually tailored to your needs and vehicle, providing convenience for touring or on the worksite with anti-rattle design. Featuring a sleek design and high-quality components, the ARB Outback Solutions Drawer Systems range is suitable for many vehicles including wagons, utes, and trailers. The ARB Outback Solutions Drawer Systems range can be fully customised to suit your exact requirements.
Cargo Barriers And Rack Dividers
A cargo barrier is an essential piece of equipment in any 4WD wagon as in the event of emergency braking or a crash, having unrestrained cargo thrown forward can have catastrophic consequences. ARB has designed an extensive range of cargo barriers and rack dividers that are suitable for different wheelbases and roof heights. Providing superior protection and for more flexible storage, the ARB range of cargo barriers and rack dividers is suitable for a variety of vehicles, from SUVs and 4WDs, to commercial wagons and vans.
Cargo Bags & Organisers
Packing your vehicle can be a challenge and maximising the space in your vehicle is essential when working, 4×4 touring or enjoying a multi-day off road adventure. Working seamlessly with ARB Outback Solutions Modular Roller Drawers, the ARB Cargo Organisers keep everything in place. Available in a trio of different sizes and made from 600D heavy duty PU coated oxford material, the ARB cargo organisers keep your contents safe, clean and transportable. Along with ARB’s stormproof Bags, insulated cooler bags, and the versatile track packs, you’ll be ready for the long haul.
Air Compressors
Specifically designed to withstand harsh NZ environments, ARB Air Compressors provide huge advantages when you’re out exploring the great outdoors. TDS stocks the full range of ARB compressors and tyre accessories, from portable to vehicle mounted solutions. For inflating tyres and camping accessories, running air tools, activating Air Lockers or even re-seating a tyre onto a wheel, there’s an ARB model available to suit your needs.
Each ARB Air Compressor is individually leak tested, current draw tested and flow tested under heavy load at the factory. The ARB compressors are rebuildable, with spare parts readily available from Tauranga Diesel Specialists. For total peace of mind, all ARB compressors come with a comprehensive 2-year warranty.
Rooftop Tents, Swags & Awnings
How much fun is it to get off the beaten track and to explore the parts of New Zealand that are less travelled? It’s what 4×4 driving is all about. While ‘roughing it’ has a huge appeal, there are also times when a little more comfort makes all the difference.
If you’re planning on getting lost for few days or heading into the more remote regions of NZ, you’ll need to think about warm and convenient shelter. ARB has created an extensive and high-quality range of tents, swags and awnings to help you make every journey an epic one. Complemented by a variety of optional accessories, your camping and multi-day off road adventures.
General Accessories

Our friendly and knowledgeable staff is on hand in store if you would like to discuss your requirements, and we’ll make sure that when you head out next, you won’t find yourself stranded without the right gear.
ARB Old Man Emu (OME) Suspension

Once weight is added, with accessories and cargo, when towing a trailer, or when the road conditions change, the performance and reliability of your 4×4 will be affected. ARB Old Man Emu (OME) Suspension kits are factory tested, fully warranted, and include designs for vehicles with air-bag technology.
