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 Nissan Titan and Titan XD (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.

Yes, the ARIES 209042-2 3-Inch Round Polished Stainless Steel Nerf Bars, No-Drill, Fits Select Nissan Titan, XD (Part #BBDR209042-2) is designed to fit the 2004-2024 Nissan Titan.
The ARIES 209042-2 3-Inch Round Polished Stainless Steel Nerf Bars, No-Drill, Fits Select Nissan Titan, XD (Part #BBDR209042-2) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The ARIES 209042-2 is a 3-inch round side bar system for vehicles. It includes a driver-side bar, passenger-side bar, mounting brackets, and all necessary fasteners for installation on the rocker panel.
Yes. The 209042-2 is compatible with both old-style vehicles (which may have a combination of threaded inserts and threaded studs) and new-style vehicles (which have two threaded inserts). The installation method varies slightly depending on your vehicle type.
The installation uses the first, second, and fourth mounting tabs located along the bottom edge of the vehicle body. The third mounting tab is not used.
Three tools are required: a ratchet, a 13mm socket, and a flathead screwdriver. The flathead screwdriver is used to remove plastic plugs from the rocker panel.
The kit includes: 6 serrated flange nuts (8mm), 12 hex bolts (8mm), 12 flat washers (8mm), 12 lock washers (8mm), 12 hex bolts (10mm), 12 lock washers (10mm), and 12 hex nuts (10mm). The 8mm fasteners are used for bracket-to-vehicle mounting, and the 10mm fasteners are used for side bar-to-bracket connections.
No. The installation manual does not require battery disconnection or any vehicle modifications. The side bars mount directly to existing rocker panel mounting tabs using threaded inserts or studs.
No. The ARIES 209042-2 uses existing mounting tabs and threaded inserts on the rocker panel. No drilling is required.
Use a flathead screwdriver to pry out the plastic plugs from the rocker panel. This exposes the threaded inserts (on new-style vehicles) or a combination of threaded inserts and studs (on old-style vehicles) underneath.
Old-style vehicles may have a combination of threaded inserts and threaded studs. New-style vehicles have two threaded inserts. On new-style vehicles, the bracket is installed with two 8mm hex bolts, two 8mm lock washers, and two 8mm flat washers. On old-style vehicles, use an 8mm serrated flange nut on the top mounting point and an 8mm hex bolt, lock washer, and flat washer on the lower mounting point.
No. When installing the brackets to the vehicle (Step 3) and when securing the side bar to the brackets (Step 5), snug the hardware but do not fully tighten. Tighten all brackets to the vehicle first, followed by the side bar connections, after the side bar has been adjusted and leveled.
Three mounting brackets are used for each side (driver and passenger). They are installed at the first, second, and fourth mounting tabs along the bottom edge of the vehicle body.
First, tighten all brackets to the vehicle. Then, tighten the side bar connections to the brackets. This ensures proper alignment and leveling of the side bars before final tightening.
Place the side bar onto the mounting brackets and align the mounting holes with the holes in the brackets on the vehicle. Secure with 10mm hex bolts, lock washers, and flat washers at each mounting location, snugging but not fully tightening. Then adjust and level the side bar before final tightening.
The installation manual does not provide torque specifications for any fasteners. Contact ARIES Automotive at 877.287.8634 or visit ARIESAUTOMOTIVE.COM for torque values.
Wax the product after installation. Regular waxing is recommended to add a protective layer over the finish. Do not use any polish or wax containing abrasives, as these can damage the finish. For stainless steel and aluminum, mild polish may be used to clear small scratches and scuffs. Mild soap may also be used to clean the product.
Periodic inspections should be performed to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight. The manual does not specify the inspection interval, so contact ARIES Automotive at 877.287.8634 for recommended inspection schedules.
The 209042-2 fits vehicles with rocker panel mounting tabs and threaded inserts or studs. It is compatible with both old-style and new-style vehicles. Verify your vehicle has the required mounting tabs before purchase.
You need a ratchet, 13mm socket, and flathead screwdriver. No power tools or special equipment are required.
No. The side bars mount to existing rocker panel mounting tabs using threaded inserts or studs. No drilling, welding, or vehicle modifications are needed.
The manual describes the installation as 'Easy' difficulty but does not provide a time estimate. Installation time will depend on your experience and familiarity with the vehicle.
Wax the product after installation and regularly thereafter. Do not use abrasive polish or wax. For stainless steel or aluminum, mild polish or soap may be used to clean and remove minor scratches.
Perform periodic inspections to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight. Wax regularly to protect the finish.
