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 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon (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 ARIES 204052 3-Inch Round Black Steel Nerf Bars, No-Drill, Fits Select Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon (Part #BBDR204052) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Part number 204052 and 204052-2 are designed for 2015 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon with Extra Cab (Extended Cab) configuration. The manual does not specify fitment for Regular Cab or Crew Cab models, or for other model years. Verify your vehicle's cab style before purchasing.
The kit includes: 1 driver/left sidebar, 1 passenger/right sidebar, 6 universal sidebar brackets (fit left or right), 12 8-1.25mm clip-on nuts, 24 8-1.25mm x 25mm hex bolts, 24 8mm x 24mm x 2mm flat washers, and 24 8mm lock washers.
Yes, assistance is recommended for this installation. The manual states 'Assistance is Recommended' at the beginning of the procedure.
Remove all contents from the box and verify that all parts are present by comparing them to the parts list. Read the installation instructions carefully before starting.
Start the installation on the passenger side of the vehicle. After completing the passenger side (steps 1–6), repeat the same steps to install the driver/left sidebar.
Three mounting brackets are used per sidebar. The brackets bolt to the 1st, 2nd, and 4th factory running board mounting locations along the bottom and inner side of the body. All 6 brackets are universal and will fit either left or right side.
Yes, rubber plugs must be removed from the factory running board mounting locations as necessary to access the mounting holes. The manual shows this in Figure 2.
Clip-on nuts (8-1.25mm) are special fasteners that slide into the large factory mounting hole and position over the smaller hole next to it. The threaded nut on the clip-on nut aligns with the smaller hole in the body panel, allowing the mounting bracket to bolt on without drilling.
Bolt each mounting bracket to 2 clip-on nuts using 2 8mm x 25mm hex bolts, 2 8mm lock washers, and 2 8mm flat washers. Snug the hardware but do not fully tighten it at this stage.
Carefully position the sidebar onto the 3 mounting brackets. Do not slide the sidebar front to back or rotate it on the brackets, as this may damage the finish. Attach it with 6 8mm x 25mm hex bolts, 6 8mm lock washers, and 6 8mm flat washers, but do not tighten the hardware yet.
After positioning the sidebar, level and adjust it, then tighten all hardware. The manual does not specify a torque value for the fasteners.
The manual instructs you to 'level and adjust the Sidebar' before tightening all hardware in Step 6, but does not provide specific details on how to measure levelness or what adjustment range is acceptable. Consult the manufacturer or an experienced installer for guidance on the correct leveling procedure.
Wax the sidebars after installation and regularly thereafter to add a protective layer over the finish. Do not use any polish or wax containing abrasives, as these may damage the finish. For stainless steel, aluminum polish may be used to polish small scratches and scuffs, and mild soap may be used for cleaning. For gloss black finishes, use only mild soap for cleaning.
Perform periodic inspections to ensure that all hardware is secure and tight. The manual does not specify an inspection interval or procedure beyond checking that fasteners remain secure.

No. Do not slide or rotate the sidebar on the brackets, as this may damage the finish. Carefully position it and then attach it with fasteners.
Wax after installation and regularly. Do not use abrasive polish or wax. For stainless steel, aluminum polish may be used for small scratches; for gloss black, use mild soap only.
