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 Chevy Equinox and GMC Terrain (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 204032-2 3-Inch Round Polished Stainless Steel Nerf Bars, No-Drill, Fits Select Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain (Part #BBDR204032-2) fits 2010-2017 Chevrolet Equinox models. The 2017 model year is the last year covered by this part number. For newer models, check for an updated version.
The ARIES 204032-2 3-Inch Round Polished Stainless Steel Nerf Bars, No-Drill, Fits Select Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain (Part #BBDR204032-2) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The kit includes 2 side bars (driver and passenger), 10 frame brackets (5 per side: 2 front, 2 rear, 1 support), 2 mounting brackets (1 per side, front), 2 rear mounting brackets, 6 bolt plates with welded washers (M12 x 40mm), 2 long bolt plates without washers (M12 x 40mm), 2 short bolt plates (M12 x 45mm), 4 hex bolts (M12 x 35mm), 2 hex bolts (M10 x 35mm), 8 hex bolts (M8 and M10 x 25mm), 10 plastic bolt retainers, and assorted flat washers, lock washers, and hex nuts in M12, M10, and M8 sizes.
The side bars require factory holes at the driver and passenger side front floor panels (2 holes per side near the front tires), a hole in the bottom of each rear suspension mount, a hole in the bottom of each rear inner frame channel, and a hole in the bottom of each rear rocker panel. The manual does not specify vehicle make or model compatibility.
The manual does not list specific tools required. However, a torque wrench will be needed to tighten hardware to the specified torque values (M12 bolts to 28 ft.-lbs., M10 bolts to 16 ft.-lbs., M8 bolts to 7 ft.-lbs.). Standard hand tools for bolt installation are assumed necessary.
The manual does not specify removal of any vehicle components. Installation appears to access factory holes without requiring disassembly of major parts.
Install the driver side first, then repeat for the passenger side. For each side: (1) Insert M12 x 40mm bolt plates with welded washers into the two front floor panel holes, centering the washers. (2) Hang the front frame bracket from these bolt plates using large flat washers, lock washers, and hex nuts—snug only. (3) Bolt the front mounting bracket to the front frame bracket—snug only. (4) Insert bolt plates into the rear suspension mount and rear frame channel holes. (5) Hang the rear mounting bracket from these bolt plates—snug only. (6) Insert the short bolt plate into the rocker panel hole and hang the rear support bracket from it—snug only. (7) Bolt the support bracket to the rear mounting bracket—snug only. (8) Position the side bar onto the mounting brackets and attach with M10 bolts—do not tighten. (9) Align and adjust the side bar, then fully tighten all hardware.
Plastic bolt retainers hold the bolt plates in place temporarily while you position and hang the brackets. They slide over the bolt threads to prevent the bolt plates from falling out of the factory holes before the brackets are secured.
Do not fully tighten any hardware until the side bar is positioned and aligned. All brackets and bolts should be snugged (hand-tight) during assembly. Only after the side bar is properly aligned and adjusted should you fully tighten all hardware. Before final tightening, ensure that the welded-on washers on the bolt plates are fully seated in the large openings in the floor.
The welded-on washers on the M12 x 40mm bolt plates must be centered in the factory floor holes and remain fully seated in the large openings throughout installation. This prevents damage to the product and vehicle. Before final tightening, verify that all bolt plate washers are centered in their holes.
M12 bolts must be torqued to 28 ft.-lbs.
M10 bolts must be torqued to 16 ft.-lbs.
M8 bolts must be torqued to 7 ft.-lbs.
Perform periodic inspections to ensure that all hardware remains secure and tight. The manual does not specify an inspection interval.
For stainless steel and aluminum components, polish may be used to clear small scratches and scuffs on the finish. Mild soap may also be used to clean the product.
The 204032-2 requires factory holes at the front floor panels (2 per side), rear suspension mount, rear frame channel, and rear rocker panel. The manual does not specify vehicle make, model, or year. Contact Aries Automotive at 877.287.8634 or ariesautomotive.com to confirm fitment.
The kit includes all bolts, washers, lock washers, nuts, bolt plates, and plastic retainers needed for installation. No additional fasteners are required.
The manual does not provide an installation time estimate. The difficulty level is rated as Easy.
M12 bolts: 28 ft.-lbs.; M10 bolts: 16 ft.-lbs.; M8 bolts: 7 ft.-lbs. All hardware must be snugged before alignment, then fully tightened after the side bar is positioned.
No. The 204032-2 uses existing factory holes. No drilling is required.
