ARB vs TJM

Which Company would you prefer to do business with and why?


I had the opportunity go to the SEMA Show this year and talked to both companies. I’d like to hear what a majority of the 3rd gen community has to say with any past or present experiences.

 

ARB gets my vote only because I've never heard of this TJM

 

I like the looks of the arb better......

 

TJM makes some pretty badass accessories

 

What products are you specifically referring to? Are you asking about the companies themselves or the product offering? I have products from both companies. I have an ARB compressor but a TJM air locker.

 

IDK, but the snorkel on that T4R is tits. Wonder if I can get it to fit a Turd..

 

If im correct TJM originated in Australia and has been in the game as long as ARB or longer.

 

I have a tjm awning on my truck and am very happy with it, build quality was good and so was the price. But from what I remember ordering it. it’s all imported and only some shops carry there stuff due to it not being well renowned in North America’s. I dealt with Sarah @LikeABoss4x4 and they were great to deal with. Also a member on here.

 

End of the day it comes down to you and your wallet.

@jowybyo how do you like the tjm locker? And is one available for turd Gen?

 

Both experience with them directly, their distributors, and products.

Yes they’ve been around for almost as long as ARB from what I gathered at SEMA. The representative I spoke to was very quick to get me a goodie bag when I mentioned stopping by the ARB booth.

I’m asking since I’ll be getting into the parts and accessories game for the off road market.

I’d like to get a better insight from the community vs only a rep and/or my own opinions.

 

Depends on which one had the better particular offering for what I'm looking for. IF, ALL other things ARE equal, ARB is a little better known and would get my vote.... but how well each product fits my needs would be the first consideration.

 

you with this snorkel thing


















i kid, i kid...i'm watching your thread because i am interested

 

In person they usually look good, but in some photos those bumpers make it look like a really bad under bite

 

The snorkel option for the 3rd are atrocious.

 

Not if I can do something about it

 

Please do I know you know this feel

 

Like the ARB bumpers and products are to me, hands down better. The TJM bumper in the example above looks like every other one on the market.

 

I like ARB, they were very helpful in determining the proper springs for my needs and seemed really nice on the phone. I always wanted an ARB bumper so I went with their suspension system as well since they were designed to go together, and I have been very happy with everything (I have their recovery kit as well), granted that was before I got on here and realized there were a ton of other options. I don't mind they are priced a little high for most stuff since they also seem to also have good quality control. Haven't heard of TJM tbh.

 

nothing to do with what you said and getting off topic but I love your lonesome dove avi and name

 

Quality control both in there products and in how they deal with customer concerns.
