The ARIES 3" bull bar is made for those who face the uncertain road without fear. This particular model is constructed from 304 stainless steel. 304 stainless is high in nickel content, allowing the bull bar to easily resist water, road salt and rust and maintain its mirror-like polished finish in spite of the elements. Other available finishes include high-gloss black stainless steel, textured black steel and semi-gloss 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 Nissan Frontier, Pathfinder and Xterra (see application info to verify fitment).

It may be necessary to remove or relocate the front license plate and bracket, though it is not required. The manual strongly recommends removal or relocation for a clean installation. If your local or state law requires a front license plate, Curt offers a license plate relocation kit.
You may need to remove the lower plastic splash guard or air dam to access the tow hook location during initial installation. The manual notes it may be necessary to remove it. You will reinstall it after trimming it to fit around the mounting brackets.
Yes, cutting is required. You must carefully cut slots in the plastic splash guard or air dam to allow the mounting brackets to pass through. Remove as little plastic as possible for a clean installation.
The manual does not specify which tools are required. You will need tools to remove factory tow hooks, cut plastic, and install bolts and fasteners, but specific tool names and sizes are not listed. Consult the manufacturer or a professional installer for a complete tool list.
Yes. The manual states "with assistance" is required when positioning the bull bar onto the mounting brackets, indicating that professional help or a second person is needed during installation.
1. Remove factory tow hooks and air dam if necessary. 2. Install passenger side mounting bracket to frame using fine thread bolts (do not tighten). 3. Install driver side mounting bracket to frame using fine thread bolts (do not tighten). 4. With assistance, position bull bar onto brackets and bolt using coarse thread bolts (do not tighten). 5. Align bull bar and tighten only the bracket-to-frame bolts. 6. Remove bull bar, trim air dam to fit around brackets, reinstall air dam with factory hardware. 7. Reinstall bull bar and tighten all hardware.
No. The installation sequence requires leaving bolts loose at intermediate stages. First, install mounting brackets to the frame without tightening. Then install the bull bar to the brackets without tightening. Align the bull bar and tighten only the bracket-to-frame bolts. Finally, remove the bull bar, trim the air dam, reinstall the bull bar, and then tighten all hardware.
The manual does not provide torque specifications for any fasteners. Contact Curt Manufacturing or consult a professional installer for the correct torque values for the 12-1.25mm fine thread bolts (frame mounting) and 12-1.75mm coarse thread bolts (bull bar mounting).
The mounting brackets are bolted to the frame using 12-1.25mm x 35mm fine thread hex bolts, 12mm lock washers, and 12mm flat washers. Two bolts, two lock washers, and two flat washers are used per bracket (4 bolts total for both brackets).
The bull bar is bolted to the mounting brackets using 12-1.75mm x 35mm coarse thread hex bolts, 12mm lock washers, 12mm flat washers, and 12mm hex nuts. Four bolts, four lock washers, eight flat washers, and four hex nuts are used total.
Perform periodic inspections to ensure all hardware remains secure and tight. Wax the bull bar after installation to protect the finish. Regular waxing is recommended to add a protective layer. For stainless steel finishes, aluminum polish may be used to polish small scratches and scuffs. For gloss black finishes, use mild soap to clean. Do not use abrasive polish or wax that could damage the finish.
No. The factory tow hooks must be removed during installation and will not be reinstalled. The bull bar replaces the tow hook function.
