When you start and end your day turning the ignition of your truck, unreliable footing just is not an option. You need a step that can bear weight with ease, provide comfortable footing and look good doing it. ARIES 4" oval side bars are sleek, strong and custom-fitted to be a highly functional extension of your truck. ARIES 4" oval side bars are made with strong 4" elliptical tubing and are available in two different finish options to allow you full customization: polished stainless steel and black powder coat carbon steel. This set of side bars is constructed from 304 stainless steel, meaning high nickel content to be truly stainless. They easily resist rust and corrosion and feature a highly polished finish that is made to last. Something that sets the ARIES 4" oval side bar apart from all others is its blended end caps and OE-style bends. Rather than capping our side bars with a plastic cap, we offer a blended end cap for a smooth, finished appearance. We also equip the ends with a special 20-degree bend and original equipment styling to perfectly contour to your vehicle. ARIES 4" oval side bars are fitted with raised step pads to provide a wide stepping surface. The polypropylene construction will not crack over time, and because it has a textured grip, the surface is highly resistant to slips and skids, even when wet. To add an extra element of class to our oval sides, we also fit each one with a stainless steel insignia bea ring the ARIES name. Installation of ARIES 4" oval side bars is quick and easy with custom-fitted mounting brackets and no drilling necessary. These nerf bars fit select model years of the Jeep Grand Cherokee (see application info to verify fitment).

You do not need to remove the entire skid shield. You only need to remove the skid shield bolts at the front and rear mounting locations. After installing each mounting bracket, the skid shield bolts are re-attached.
Installation proceeds in this order: (1) Install driver side front mounting bracket to the rocker panel drip rail after removing the front skid shield bolt, then re-attach the skid shield bolt. (2) Install driver side rear mounting bracket to the rocker panel drip rail after removing the rear skid shield bolt, then re-attach the skid shield bolt. (3) Attach the driver side bar to both mounting brackets and level it before final tightening. (4) Install the bolt tab into the bottom of the frame rail on the passenger side. (5) Install passenger side front mounting bracket to the rocker panel drip rail and secure it to the bolt tab. (6) Install passenger side rear mounting bracket to the rocker panel drip rail after removing the rear skid shield bolt, then re-attach the skid shield bolt. (7) Attach the passenger side bar to both mounting brackets and level it before final tightening.
The driver side front mounting bracket is attached to the rocker panel drip rail using 2 6-1.25mm x 20mm hex head bolts, 4 8mm ID x 23.5mm OD x 2mm flat washers, 2 6mm lock washers, and 2 6mm nuts. These fasteners should be snug but not tightened until the side bar is positioned and leveled.

The 10mm x 25mm bolt tab is a component that must be installed into the bottom of the frame rail on the passenger side before the passenger side front mounting bracket is installed. The bolt tab provides an attachment point for the passenger side front mounting bracket. Once installed, the bracket is secured to the bolt tab using 1 10mm flat washer, 1 10mm lock washer, and 1 10mm nut.

Mounting bracket fasteners should be snug but not fully tightened until after the side bar is positioned and leveled. Once the side bar is level and adjusted, all hardware is tightened at that time. This applies to both driver and passenger sides.
Wax the product after installing to protect the finish. Regular waxing is recommended to add a protective layer. Do not use polish or wax containing abrasives, as these can damage the finish. For stainless steel, aluminum polish may be used to polish small scratches and scuffs, and mild soap may be used for cleaning. For gloss black finishes, use only mild soap for cleaning.
Perform periodic inspections to ensure that all hardware is secure and tight. The manual does not specify the frequency of these inspections or which fasteners should be checked.
