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 3" Round Black Steel Side Bars, Select Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon Step Nerf Bar Kit (Part #BBDR204051) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The kit includes 1 driver/left side bar, 1 passenger/right side bar, 6 universal mounting brackets, 12 clip-on nuts (M8 - 1.25), 24 hex bolts (M8 - 1.25 x 25mm), 24 flat washers (M8 x 24mm x 2mm), and 24 lock washers (M8).
The manual describes the 204051 as a universal product and states that all 6 mounting brackets are universal and will fit left or right side. However, the manual does not specify which vehicle makes, models, cab styles, bed lengths, or body styles are compatible. Contact Aries Automotive at 877-287-8634 or check the product page for specific vehicle fitment information.
You will need a ratchet, socket set, and level. The manual rates the installation difficulty as 'Easy' and recommends having assistance during installation.
The manual does not mention disconnecting the battery. No electrical work is involved in this installation.
No. The manual rates the installation difficulty as 'Easy' and recommends assistance but does not require professional installation. You should read all instructions thoroughly before beginning and use proper tools to improve installation quality.
The mounting brackets bolt to the factory running board mounting locations along the bottom and inner side of the vehicle body. There are 4 factory mounting locations on each side; the brackets attach to the 1st, 2nd, and 4th locations. The 3rd location is not used.
Three mounting brackets are used per sidebar. The kit includes 6 universal brackets total—3 for the passenger/right side and 3 for the driver/left side.
Yes. The manual instructs you to remove rubber plugs as necessary from the factory running board mounting locations before installing the clip nuts. See Figure 2 in the installation guide.
Slide the clip nut into the large hole and over the smaller hole next to it. Line up the threaded nut on the clip nut with the smaller hole in the body panel. This allows the hex bolts to secure the mounting bracket to the clip nuts.
No. When bolting the mounting bracket to the clip nuts in Step 3, snug the hardware but do not fully tighten it. Final tightening occurs after the sidebar is positioned and leveled in Step 6.
No. The manual states: 'Do not slide (front to back or rotate) the Sidebar on the Brackets or damage to the finish on the Sidebar may result.' Carefully position the sidebar onto the brackets and avoid sliding or rotating it.
After positioning the sidebar onto the mounting brackets and attaching it with hex bolts, lock washers, and flat washers (but without fully tightening), use a level to check and adjust the sidebar position. Once level, tighten all hardware. The manual does not specify the exact leveling method or tolerance.
Install the passenger/right sidebar first (Steps 1–6), then repeat the same process for the driver/left sidebar (Step 7). For each side: locate the 4 factory mounting locations, install 3 mounting brackets at locations 1, 2, and 4, position the sidebar, attach it with bolts and washers, level it, and tighten all hardware.
The torque specification for M8 bolts is 7 ft-lbs. This applies to all M8 hex bolts used in the 204051 installation unless otherwise noted in the manual.
The 204051 uses M8 - 1.25 x 25mm hex bolts. A total of 24 bolts are included in the kit: 2 per mounting bracket (3 brackets per side × 2 sides × 2 bolts = 12 bolts for brackets) and 6 per sidebar (2 sidebars × 6 bolts = 12 bolts for sidebars).
Each hex bolt is secured with one M8 flat washer (M8 x 24mm x 2mm) and one M8 lock washer. The kit includes 24 of each type.
The manual does not describe any drilling, cutting, or modification procedures. The installation uses factory running board mounting locations on the vehicle body. Whether these locations are pre-drilled or require drilling is not specified in the manual. Contact Aries Automotive at 877-287-8634 for clarification.
Perform periodic inspections to ensure all hardware is secure and tight. Wax the product after installation and regularly thereafter to add a protective layer over the finish. Do not use polish or wax containing abrasives. For stainless steel, aluminum polish may be used on small scratches; for gloss black finishes, use mild soap only. Clean with mild automotive detergent, never dish detergent or abrasive cleaners.
