ARIES 3" side bars add a custom look and dependable footing to your truck, Jeep or SUV. They feature a classic style, a strong design and non-skid step pads. ARIES nerf bars are all made vehicle-specific for a custom, no-drill fit, and they are available in multiple finish options. This set of nerf bars is constructed from 304 stainless steel with a polished finish. Our 304 stainless steel is a true stainless with high nickel content, offering better corrosion resistance and a long-lasting finish. The polish is a triple application, resulting in a mirror-like shine to complement your vehicle. ARIES 3" round side bars also come with high-strength steel brackets and non-skid step pads. The mounting brackets -- as well as the side bars and step pads -- are custom-designed for specific makes and models to allow the nerf bars to contour to the lines of your vehicle. This ensures easy, no-drill installation and the strength necessary to provide solid footing. This particular set of custom nerf bars fits specific years of the Toyota Tundra (see application info to verify fitment). ARIES 3" round side bars also come with non-skid step pads made of polypropylene. These wide, custom-positioned step pads feature a textured pattern and cover a wide portion of the tubes to be more comfortable and high-traction, even in wet conditions.

The ARIES 202003-2 3-Inch Round Polished Stainless Steel Nerf Bars, No-Drill, Fits Select Toyota Tundra (Part #BBDR202003-2) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The kit includes 1 driver/left side bar, 1 passenger/right side bar, 2 front mounting plates, 2 rear mounting plates, 2 half-tooth hex bolts (M12 x 150mm), 6 hex bolts (M12 x 50mm), 12 flat washers (12mm x 35mm x 2.5mm), 4 flat washers (15mm x 50mm x 12mm), 12 lock washers (M12), and 4 hex nuts (M12).
The ARIES 202003-2 side bars require existing slotted holes in the vehicle frame at the center of the rear body mount and in the front frame. The manual does not specify which vehicle makes, models, or years are compatible. Contact ARIES Automotive at 877.287.8634 or check ARIESAUTOMOTIVE.COM to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle before purchasing.
The manual states that proper tools will improve the quality of installation and reduce installation time, but does not specify which tools are required. Standard tools for working with M12 bolts and nuts (such as wrenches or sockets) would typically be needed. Contact ARIES Automotive at 877.287.8634 for a detailed tool list.
The manual does not specify whether battery disconnection is required. Contact ARIES Automotive at 877.287.8634 for guidance on pre-installation vehicle preparation.
1. Attach one front and one rear mounting plate to each tube end using M12 x 50mm bolts, lock washers, and flat washers; snug but do not fully tighten. 2. Raise the side bar assembly against the frame and align the rear mounting plate hole with the existing slotted hole in the frame at the center of the rear body mount. Secure using an M12 x 50mm bolt and flat washer on the outside, and a spacer, flat washer, lock washer, and nut on the inside; snug but do not fully tighten. 3. Lift the front side bar assembly and align the front mounting plate hole with the existing slotted hole in the frame. Secure using an M12 x 150mm bolt and flat washer on the outside, and a spacer, flat washer, lock washer, and nut on the inside; snug but do not fully tighten. 4. Adjust the side bar to be level and centered, then tighten all bolts. 5. Repeat for the driver side.
Snugging the bolts without fully tightening allows you to adjust the side bar position for proper alignment and leveling before final tightening. Once the bar is level and centered, all bolts are then fully tightened to complete the installation.
The manual does not provide a final torque specification. It instructs to tighten all bolts after the side bar is level and centered, but does not specify the torque value. Contact ARIES Automotive at 877.287.8634 for the correct torque specification.
Each mounting plate is attached to the tube end using one M12 x 50mm hex bolt, one M12 lock washer, and one 12mm x 35mm x 2.5mm flat washer. These are snugged but not fully tightened until the bar is positioned and leveled.
The rear mounting plate is secured to the frame using one M12 x 50mm hex bolt and one 15mm x 50mm x 12mm flat washer on the outside of the frame, and one spacer plate, one 15mm x 50mm x 12mm flat washer, one M12 lock washer, and one M12 hex nut on the inside of the frame.
The front mounting plate is secured to the frame using one M12 x 150mm half-tooth hex bolt and one 15mm x 50mm x 12mm flat washer on the outside of the frame, and one spacer plate, one 15mm x 50mm x 12mm flat washer, one M12 lock washer, and one M12 hex nut on the inside of the frame.
After securing both the rear and front mounting plates to the frame with snugged (not fully tightened) bolts, adjust the side bar so that it is level and centered before fully tightening all bolts. The manual does not specify tools or methods for checking level and center alignment.
Periodic inspections should be performed to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight. Wax the side bars after installation to protect the product. Regular waxing is recommended to add a protective layer over the finish. Do not use polish or wax containing abrasives, as these could damage the finish. For stainless steel and aluminum, mild polish may be used to clear small scratches and scuffs, and mild soap may be used to clean the product.
No. Do not use any polish or wax containing abrasives, as these could damage the finish. For stainless steel and aluminum, mild polish may be used to clear small scratches and scuffs. Mild soap may be used to clean the product. Regular waxing with non-abrasive wax is recommended to add a protective layer over the finish.
The manual rates the installation difficulty as "Easy" but does not explicitly state whether professional installation is required or recommended. Contact ARIES Automotive at 877.287.8634 if you have questions about your ability to complete the installation safely.
