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 Dodge Nitro (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 installation is rated as 'Easy' according to the manual.
Installation sequence is: (1) Remove and verify all parts. (2) Install passenger/right rear mounting bracket using the bolt plate and M10 fasteners, snug only. (3) Secure washer plate and bracket to rocker panel lip with M8 bolts and nuts, snug only. (4) Install passenger/right front mounting bracket using bolt plate and M10 fasteners, snug only. (5) Secure front bracket to rocker panel with M8 bolts and nuts, snug only. (6) Connect sidebar to front mounting brackets with M10 bolts and lock washers, snug only. (7) Level and align sidebar, then tighten all hardware. (8) Repeat steps 2–6 for driver/left side.
Do not tighten fasteners as you install them. Snug all hardware during installation steps 2–5, then level and align the sidebar properly before tightening all hardware in step 6. This allows proper alignment before final tightening.
Locate the rectangle hole in the rocker panel. Insert the M10 bolt plate into the hole so that the threads of the bolt drop through the round holes in the plate. The bolt plate secures the mounting bracket from inside the rocker panel.
The mounting bracket is secured to the inner rocker panel lip using 2 M8 hex bolts, 2 M8 flat washers, and 2 M8 lock nuts per bracket. A washer plate is placed on the outside of the rocker panel lip before securing.
The sidebar is connected to the front mounting brackets using 2 M10 hex bolts, 2 M10 lock washers, and 2 M10 flat washers per side.
M10 bolts should be torqued to 16 ft.-lbs.
M8 bolts should be torqued to 7 ft.-lbs.
Wax the sidebars after installation to protect the finish. Regular waxing is recommended to add a protective layer. Do not use any polish or wax containing abrasives, as these can damage the finish. For gloss black finishes, mild soap may be used for cleaning.
Perform periodic inspections to ensure all hardware is secure and tight. The manual does not specify the inspection interval.
