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 Nissan Titan and Titan XD (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 Nissan Titan, XD Step Nerf Bar Kit (Part #BBDR209042) fits 2004-2024 Nissan Titan models. The 2024 model year is the last year covered by this part number. For newer models, check for an updated version.
The ARIES 3" Round Black Steel Side Bars, Select Nissan Titan, XD Step Nerf Bar Kit (Part #BBDR209042) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The kit includes one driver/left side bar, one passenger/right side bar, six mounting brackets (three per side), six 8mm serrated flange nuts, twelve 8mm hex bolts, twelve 8mm flat washers, twelve 8mm lock washers, twelve 10mm hex bolts, twelve 10mm lock washers, and twelve 10mm hex nuts.
You will need a ratchet, a 13mm socket, and a flathead screwdriver. The flathead screwdriver is used to remove plastic plugs from the rocker panel, and the ratchet and socket are used to install the mounting hardware.
Yes. The installation process accommodates both old-style vehicles, which may have a combination of threaded inserts and threaded studs, and new-style vehicles, which have two threaded inserts. The bracket mounting method varies slightly between the two: old-style vehicles use an 8mm serrated flange nut on the top mounting point and an 8mm hex bolt with lock washer and flat washer on the lower point, while new-style vehicles use two 8mm hex bolts with lock washers and flat washers.
The installation uses the first, second and fourth mounting tabs along the bottom edge of the vehicle body. The third mounting tab is not used.
Yes. Using a flathead screwdriver, you must remove the plastic plugs from the rocker panel to expose the threaded inserts at each mounting location (front driver-side, middle, and rear). This is done before securing the brackets.
1. Remove plastic plugs from the rocker panel at the front driver-side location. 2. Secure the front driver-side bracket using 8mm hardware (snug but do not fully tighten). 3. Repeat for the middle and rear brackets on the driver side. 4. Place the driver-side bar onto the brackets and align the mounting holes. 5. Secure the bar to the brackets using 10mm hex bolts, lock washers and flat washers (snug but do not fully tighten). 6. Adjust and level the bar. 7. Tighten all driver-side bracket hardware to the vehicle first, then tighten the side bar connections. 8. Repeat all steps on the passenger side.
You should snug the hardware but not fully tighten it during the initial installation steps. The manual recommends tightening all bracket hardware to the vehicle first, followed by the side bar connections. This allows for proper alignment and leveling before final tightening.
After placing the side bar onto the mounting brackets and securing it with 10mm hex bolts, lock washers and flat washers (snugged but not fully tightened), adjust the bar as needed to level it. Once leveled, tighten all bracket hardware to the vehicle first, then tighten the side bar connections.
The manual does not provide torque specifications for any of the fasteners used in the installation. Contact ARIES Automotive at 877.287.8634 or visit ARIESAUTOMOTIVE.COM for torque values.
Periodic inspections should be performed to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight. To protect the product, wax after installing. Regular waxing is recommended to add a protective layer over the finish. For gloss black finishes, mild soap may be used to clean the product. Do not use any type of polish or wax that may contain abrasives, as these could damage the finish.
