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 Wrangler (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 35700 side bars are 3 inches in diameter.
Yes. Vehicles with open-floor panel mounting locations use a 10mm nut plate inserted into the large square opening in the floor panel. The nut plate is lined up with the small hole in line with the tab on the bracket, then bolted with one 10mm x 35mm hex bolt, one 10mm lock washer, and one 10mm flat washer.
Yes. Vehicles with factory threaded holes in the floor panel bolt the bracket tab directly to the threaded hole using one 8mm x 35mm hex bolt, one 8mm lock washer, and one 8mm x 25mm OD flat washer.
Required tools are: torque wrench, Allen wrench, 10mm socket, 10mm wrench, 13mm socket, level, and 16mm socket.
Yes. Remove any insulation that may be covering the mounting locations before beginning installation.
Start installation on the front passenger-side of the vehicle. After completing the passenger-side installation (front, middle, and rear brackets and side bar), repeat the process for the driver-side.
Yes. The mounting brackets are specific to each mounting location (front, middle, and rear). Ensure you have the correct bracket identified before proceeding with installation.
During installation, snug all hardware but do not fully tighten until the side bar is adjusted to be level and centered. Once the side bar is properly positioned and level, tighten all bolts to complete the installation.
The mounting cradles on the brackets should be inline and pointing toward the rear of the vehicle for proper installation.
Each side bar is secured using six 10mm x 35mm hex bolts, six 10mm lock washers, and six 10mm flat washers—one bolt at each of the three mounting brackets (front, middle, rear).
Three mounting brackets are used per side: front, middle, and rear. Each bracket is bolted to the vehicle's floor panel and pinch weld, and the side bar is then secured to all three brackets.
The bracket is bolted to the back of the pinch weld using two 6mm x 25mm button head cap bolts, four 6mm x 22mm flat washers (two against the pinch weld and two inside against the bracket), and two 6mm nylock nuts.
The front bracket is 9 3/8 inches from the front, the middle bracket is 10 1/8 inches from the front, and the rear bracket is 8 3/4 inches from the front.
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. Do not use any type of polish or wax that may contain abrasives that could damage the finish. For gloss black finishes, mild soap may be used to clean the product.
