ARIES 3" side bars are more than a fancy decal for your truck, Jeep or SUV. They are a confident first step on each new adventure. These 3" nerf bars are constructed from strong carbon steel for superior rigidity, and they feature a sleek semi-gloss black powder coat finish. For an added edge, each nerf bar also goes through an E-coat process, before receiving its black powder coat, to strengthen and protect the final finish against peeling, chipping and scratching. ARIES 3" round side bars are also available in polished stainless steel or semi-gloss black powder-coated steel. All ARIES 3" nerf bars come with heavy-duty steel brackets and non-skid step pads. The mounting brackets are strong and custom-designed for specific makes and models to allow the side bars to contour to the lines of your vehicle. They offer easy installation and the strength necessary to provide sound footing. These particular custom nerf bars fit specific years of the Toyota Tacoma (see application info to verify fitment). ARIES 3" round side bars also come with non-skid step pads made of tough polypropylene. These step pads feature a textured pattern for enhanced safety, and they cover a wide portion of the tubes for a more comfortable step.

The kit includes one driver/left side bar, one passenger/right side bar, front and rear mounting brackets for both sides, and all fasteners: 12 × 10mm × 30mm hex head bolts, 12 × 10mm ID × 30mm OD × 3mm flat washers, 4 × 10mm lock nuts, 6 × 8mm × 25mm × 1.25P hex head bolts, 14 × 8mm ID × 24mm OD × 2mm flat washers, and 8 × 8mm 1.25P lock nuts.

The manual does not specify required tools. Based on the fastener sizes (8mm and 10mm bolts and lock nuts), you will need metric wrenches or sockets in 8mm and 10mm sizes, and likely a socket wrench or adjustable wrench. A scraper may be needed to remove undercoating or road grime from mounting surfaces.
Yes. Step 4 of the installation procedure states 'With assistance, mount the Drivers/left side bar to the Mounting Brackets', indicating that at least one additional person is required to install the bars.
Possibly. The manual notes that 'there may be excessive under coating or road grime needing to be scraped away to fit bracket in place' on the vehicle's inner rocker panel floor board tabs where the front and rear mounting brackets attach. Inspect these areas before starting installation.
1. Install the driver/left front mounting bracket on the factory stud and secure with fasteners (snug only). 2. Install the passenger/right front mounting bracket the same way. 3. Install the driver/left rear mounting bracket on the factory stud and secure with fasteners (snug only). 4. Install the passenger/right rear mounting bracket the same way. 5. With assistance, mount both side bars to their respective brackets (snug only). 6. Level and adjust the sidebars. 7. Tighten all hardware.
The front mounting bracket attaches to the vehicle's inner rocker panel floor board tab in two ways: (1) slip the bracket over the factory stud and secure with one 8mm flat washer and one 8mm lock nut; (2) attach the two outer mounting holes of the bracket using two 10mm hex bolts, four 10mm flat washers, and two 10mm lock nuts. Snug all hardware but do not tighten until after levelling and adjustment.
The rear mounting bracket attaches to the vehicle's inner rocker panel floor board tab in two ways: (1) attach the center hole with one 10mm hex bolt, two 10mm flat washers, and one 10mm lock nut; (2) attach the two outer mounting holes using two 8mm hex bolts, four 8mm flat washers, and two 8mm lock nuts. Snug all hardware but do not tighten until after levelling and adjustment.
With assistance, mount each side bar to its corresponding mounting brackets using four 10mm × 30mm hex bolts and four 10mm flat washers per side. Snug the hardware but do not tighten at this time. Final tightening occurs after the sidebars are levelled and adjusted.
All hardware should be snugged during installation but not fully tightened. After the sidebars are levelled and adjusted to the correct position, tighten all hardware. Do not tighten before levelling and adjustment.
The manual does not provide torque specifications for any of the fasteners used in the installation. Contact Curt Manufacturing directly for torque values for the 8mm and 10mm bolts and lock nuts.
Wax the product after installing to protect the finish. Regular waxing is recommended to add a protective layer. For stainless steel, aluminum polish may be used to polish small scratches and scuffs, and mild soap may be used to clean. For gloss black finishes, use only mild soap to clean. Do not use any polish or wax containing abrasives, as these may damage the finish.
Perform periodic inspections to ensure that all hardware is secure and tight. The manual does not specify the frequency of these inspections or the interval at which hardware should be retorqued. Contact Curt Manufacturing for recommended inspection intervals.
