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 Jeep Cherokee (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 Jeep Cherokee Step Nerf Bar Kit (Part #BBDR201000) 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, 2 front mounting brackets, 1 driver/left rear mounting bracket, 1 passenger/right rear mounting bracket, 10 M10 self-tapping hex bolts, 10 M10 flat washers, 10 M10 lock washers, 4 M12 hex bolts (50mm), 4 M12 flat washers, and 4 M12 lock washers.
The manual does not specify which vehicle makes, models, or years the 201000 is compatible with. Contact Aries Automotive at 877.287.8634 or visit ariesautomotive.com to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle.
You will need an 8mm drill bit to drill the front bracket mounting holes. The manual does not specify other tools required, such as wrenches, sockets, or torque wrench size. A torque wrench is strongly recommended to achieve the specified torque values.
The manual does not mention battery disconnection. No electrical work is described in the installation procedure.
Yes. You must drill four 8mm holes in the front sub frame to mount the front brackets. The manual instructs you to hold the front bracket in place, mark the holes, and then drill using an 8mm drill bit before securing with M10 self-tapping hex bolts.
On some models, a diagonal oblong hole may be present on the sub frame. If this occurs, it may be necessary to place the front mounting bracket at an angle to avoid drilling through this hole. Check alignment carefully before marking and drilling.
1. Start with the driver side. 2. Attach front and rear mounting brackets to the side bar using M12 bolts, lock washers, and flat washers; snug but do not fully tighten. 3. Loosen (do not remove) the front rear spring bolt and slide the slotted top edge of the rear bracket underneath its head. 4. Tighten the spring bolt to hold the rear bracket. 5. Align the front end to the sub frame and mark the 8mm holes. 6. Drill the holes. 7. Secure the front bracket with M10 self-tapping bolts, washers, and lock washers; snug but do not fully tighten. 8. Tighten all fasteners to specification. 9. Repeat for the passenger side.
No. The manual instructs you to snug (hand-tighten) the M12 bolts connecting the brackets to the side bars, and the M10 bolts connecting the front bracket to the sub frame, but not to fully tighten them until after all holes are drilled and all fasteners are in place. This allows for alignment adjustment.
No. The manual explicitly states: 'Do not remove this bolt.' You must only loosen it enough to slide the slotted top edge of the rear bracket underneath the bolt head, then tighten it again to hold the rear bracket in place.
M10 bolts should be tightened to 16 ft.-lbs. This applies to the M10 self-tapping hex bolts used to secure the front mounting brackets to the sub frame.
M12 bolts should be tightened to 28 ft.-lbs. This applies to the M12 hex bolts (50mm) used to connect the mounting brackets to the side bars.
An 8mm drill bit is required to drill the four holes in the front sub frame for the front mounting brackets.
Wax the product 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 to clean the product.
Periodic inspections should be performed to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight. Wax the product after installation and regularly thereafter to protect the finish. Do not use abrasive polish or wax.
