For the conqueror in every truck, Jeep or SUV owner, the ARIES grille guard offers the tough, trail-ready look you demand. It begins with a one-piece frame of 1/4" thick welded plates and 1-1/2" mandrel-bent tubing for a solid build. Each one is made with a vehicle-specific design for a better fit, easier install and more secure mounting. The side brush guards are custom-bent to contour to the profile of your vehicle, while the mounting brackets are positioned for a no-drill application. This means pre-existing factory holes are used to ensure optimum fitment and less vibration. This particular custom grille guard fits specific years of the Nissan Frontier and Xterra (see application info to verify). The ARIES grille guard also makes it easy to customize the look of your vehicle. Not only does the crossbar have two pre-drilled holes for mounting aftermarket LED lights, but many of our grille guards are also available in two finish options -- polished stainless steel or semi-gloss black steel. The stainless steel grille guard is made with 304 stainless, being high in nickel content and truly resistant to rust and corrosion. This option comes with a mirror-like polished finish for a definitive shine. The semi-gloss black grille guard is made with high-strength carbon steel for added strength. It features a t ough, dual-layer E-coat and black powder coat finish to protect against rust, scratches and the elements. All ARIES grille guards also come with rubber stripping along the risers to protect the frame against scuffs and scratches.

Yes, Curt part number 9043 is designed for the Nissan Xterra. The manual does not specify model year restrictions, so contact Curt or your retailer to confirm your specific year and trim are compatible.
The Curt 9043 Front Aries Bar is designed for the Nissan Xterra.
The kit includes: 1 Front Aries Bar, 2 Frame brackets, 2 Top frame brackets, 8 × 7/16 inch hex bolts, 8 × 7/16 inch hex nuts, and 16 × 7/16 inch flat washers. Factory bolts and nuts on your Xterra are reused as part of the installation.
No. The kit includes all required fasteners: 8 × 7/16 inch hex bolts, 8 × 7/16 inch hex nuts, and 16 × 7/16 inch flat washers. You will also reuse the factory bolts and nuts already on your Xterra.
You will need a wrench or socket set to fit 7/16 inch hex bolts and nuts. The manual does not specify additional tools required.
The manual does not explicitly state whether bumper removal is required. You will need to access factory bolts directly behind the bumper and factory nuts within the inner vent of the bumper opening. Contact Curt or your installer to confirm whether bumper removal is necessary for your Xterra.
1. Locate the 2 factory bolts directly behind the bumper; they are parallel, one directly behind the other. 2. Position the frame-mounting bracket bolt pattern as shown in the illustration (driver side shown). 3. Reuse the factory bolts to attach the frame-mounting brackets. The manual notes that the bolt pattern positioning is critical for proper alignment.
1. Loosen (do not remove) the 2 factory nuts located within the inner vent of the bumper opening. 2. Position the top bracket bolt pattern as shown in the illustration (driver side shown). 3. Reuse the factory nuts to attach the top mounting brackets. 4. Hand tighten only at this stage, as you may need to adjust the brackets later for proper alignment.
1. Line up the 3 holes on the lower portion of the front bar with the 3 holes on the frame mounting brackets (inner edge). 2. Use the supplied 7/16 inch hex bolts, nuts, and washers to fasten the front bar to the mounting brackets. Leave these fasteners loose for now to allow adjustment. 3. Align the top hole in the side plate with the top mount bracket and fasten with a 7/16 inch hex bolt and nut, also left loose. 4. Once all fasteners are in place, align the bar until satisfied with fit and balance, then tighten all fasteners.
Yes. Leave all fasteners loose initially to allow adjustment for proper fit and balance. Once aligned to your satisfaction, tighten all fasteners.
The manual does not provide torque specifications for the 7/16 inch hex bolts and nuts. Contact Curt Manufacturing or consult a professional installer for the correct torque values.
After installation, align the front bar until satisfied with fit and balance, then tighten all fasteners. It is advisable to recheck all fasteners for tightness after one week of use. This ensures that vibration and settling have not loosened any bolts.
Recheck all fasteners for tightness after one week of installation.
Yes. The installation requires reusing the factory bolts directly behind the bumper for the bottom frame brackets and the factory nuts within the inner vent of the bumper opening for the top mount brackets. This is part of the standard installation procedure.
