The ARIES 3" bull bar is made for those who face the uncertain road without fear. This particular model is constructed from strong carbon steel and finished in a durable E-coat and semi-gloss black powder coat finish to outlast rust and the elements. Other available finishes include high-gloss black stainless steel, polished stainless steel and textured black steel. Customizing the look of your vehicle is simple with the ARIES 3" bull bar. It is equipped with pre-drilled light mounting holes and a removable skid plate. The center crossbar features two pre-drilled holes that readily accept an LED light bar or two LED work lights. The skid plate is made from 304 stainless steel and has a brushed finish to stop rust and hide scratches and scuffs. It also features an aggressive, ARIES-exclusive cutout pattern and can be removed for a customized look. Each ARIES 3" bull bar is made a vehicle-specific design, meaning that for each make and model, the bull bar has a custom bend and unique mounting brackets. This allows for the best possible fit on your vehicle and ensures solid attachment. The brackets also use pre-existing factory holes in the vehicle's frame to eliminate drilling, speed up installation and increase rigidity. This bull bar fits select model years of the Toyota Tacoma (see application info to verify fitment).

Yes, the Curt 3" Bull Bar (part numbers 35-2010, B35-2010, B35-2010-3, P35-2010) is designed specifically for the 2016 Toyota Tacoma.
No. The bull bar is not compatible with the optional full coverage factory aluminum skid plate. The skid plate must be removed before installation and cannot be reinstalled. Cutting is required as part of the installation process.
Removal is not required but is strongly recommended. If your local or state law requires a front license plate, a license plate relocation kit is available from the manufacturer.
It may be necessary to temporarily remove the factory tow hook from the passenger side during installation. The manual does not specify permanent removal; the tow hook should be reinstalled after the bull bar is secured (see step 9).
The kit includes: 1 bull bar, 1 driver/left frame mounting bracket, 1 passenger/right frame mounting bracket, 2 bull bar mounting brackets, 4 large spacer washers, 4 8-1.25mm x 35mm hex bolts, 4 8mm x 24mm OD x 2mm flat washers, 4 8mm lock washers, 2 10-1.50mm x 120mm x 30mm hex bolts, 4 10-1.50mm x 30mm hex bolts, 4 10mm x 34mm large flat washers, 8 10mm x 30mm standard flat washers, and 6 10mm nylon lock nuts.
The manual does not specify required tools. Based on the fasteners involved (hex bolts and nuts), standard wrenches or sockets for 8mm and 10mm fasteners would be needed, as well as a sharp knife or hacksaw blade for cutting the air dam slots.
Yes, assistance is required. Step 8 explicitly states "With assistance, line up the mounting tabs on the Bull Bar with the outside of the (2) previously installed Frame Mounting Brackets." At least one additional person is needed to help position the bull bar during installation.
Yes, cutting is required. You must cut two slots in the plastic lower air dam to clear the frame mounting brackets. The manual states: "Do not cut through the top or bottom edge of the air dam. Do not cut off the mounting tabs from the top of the air dam." Start with a small opening and slowly enlarge the slots until the brackets clear. You may also need to trim plastic splashguards attached to the bottom corners of the bumper as necessary.
Use a sharp knife or hacksaw blade. The manual recommends checking all measurements before cutting, starting with a small opening, and slowly enlarging the slots until the brackets clear the air dam.
1. Remove the plastic lower air dam from the front bumper cover. 2. Start at the passenger side: remove the two outer factory hex nuts attaching the bumper mount to the frame end. 3. Install the passenger side frame mounting bracket using factory hex nuts (leave loose). 4. Install the 10mm x 120mm hex bolt with spacer washers and large flat washer through the frame cross member (leave loose). 5. Repeat steps 2–4 for the driver side. 6. Cut slots in the air dam to clear the brackets and reinstall (leave loose). 7. Attach the two bull bar mounting brackets to the ends of the bull bar with 8mm x 35mm hex bolts, lock washers, and flat washers (snug but do not tighten). 8. With assistance, align and bolt the bull bar to the frame mounting brackets using 10mm x 30mm hex bolts, standard flat washers, and nylon lock nuts (snug but do not tighten). 9. Level and adjust the bull bar, then tighten all hardware. Reinstall the tow hook if removed.
Leaving hardware loose during the initial installation steps allows you to adjust and level the bull bar properly before final tightening. Step 9 instructs you to level and adjust the bull bar, then tighten all hardware including factory hardware attaching the air dam to the vehicle.
The large spacer washers are placed between the frame mounting bracket and the frame cross member. They cover the large hole in the end of the frame cross member, as shown in the installation diagrams. One spacer washer is inserted between the mounting bracket and frame, and another is placed on the 10mm x 120mm hex bolt before it passes through the outer side.
The manual does not provide torque specifications for any fasteners. Contact the manufacturer or consult a qualified installer for proper torque values.
Perform periodic inspections to ensure all hardware is secure and tight. Wax the product after installation 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 mild soap only. Do not use any polish or wax containing abrasives, as these could damage the finish.
Yes. Do not use any type of polish or wax that may contain abrasives, as these could damage the finish. For stainless steel, aluminum polish may be used for small scratches and scuffs, and mild soap may be used for cleaning. For gloss black finishes, mild soap only should be used for cleaning.
