The ARIES 3" bull bar is made for those who face the uncertain road without fear. This particular model is constructed from strong carbon steel and finished in a durable E-coat and semi-gloss black powder coat finish to outlast rust and the elements. Other available finishes include high-gloss black stainless steel, polished stainless steel and textured black steel. Customizing the look of your vehicle is simple with the ARIES 3" bull bar. It is equipped with pre-drilled light mounting holes and a removable skid plate. The center crossbar features two pre-drilled holes that readily accept an LED light bar or two LED work lights. The skid plate is made from 304 stainless steel and has a brushed finish to stop rust and hide scratches and scuffs. It also features an aggressive, ARIES-exclusive cutout pattern and can be removed for a customized look. Each ARIES 3" bull bar is made a vehicle-specific design, meaning that for each make and model, the bull bar has a custom bend and unique mounting brackets. This allows for the best possible fit on your vehicle and ensures solid attachment. The brackets also use pre-existing factory holes in the vehicle's frame to eliminate drilling, speed up installation and increase rigidity. This bull bar fits select model years of the Toyota Tacoma (see application info to verify fitment).

The ARIES B35-2002 3-Inch Black Steel Bull Bar, No-Drill, Select Toyota Tacoma (Part #BBDRB35-2002) fits the following vehicles: 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
The ARIES B35-2002 3-Inch Black Steel Bull Bar, No-Drill, Select Toyota Tacoma (Part #BBDRB35-2002) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, the Curt B35-2002 bull bar is designed for 2005-2013 Toyota Tacoma models. However, it is not compatible with the optional full coverage factory aluminum skid plate. If your vehicle has this skid plate, it must be removed before installation and cannot be reinstalled.
The factory tow hook may need to be removed during installation, particularly on the passenger side. The manual notes that it may be necessary to remove it to access the mounting points. Once the passenger side mounting bracket is installed, the factory tow hook should be reinstalled.
The kit includes: 1 bull bar, 1 driver/left frame mounting bracket, 1 passenger/right frame mounting bracket, 2 10-1.50mm × 120mm × 30mm hex bolts, 4 10-1.50mm × 30mm hex bolts, 2 10mm × 30mm OD × 2.5mm flat washers, 10 10mm × 20mm OD × 2mm flat washers, 6 10mm lock washers, 6 10mm hex nuts, and 4 12mm spacer washers.
No, you do not need to remove the factory bumper. Installation begins by removing only the 2 factory bumper mount hex nuts located toward the outside of the bumper mount and frame channel. These nuts are reused to secure the driver side frame mounting bracket to the factory threaded studs.
1. Remove the 2 factory bumper mount hex nuts on the driver side and hang the driver side mounting bracket from the threaded studs using the factory hex nuts (do not tighten). 2. Insert a 12mm spacer washer between the bracket and frame, then insert a 10mm × 120mm hex bolt with a 10mm × 30mm large flat washer through the oval hole, spacer washer, and into the frame channel. Place another 12mm spacer washer over the bolt at the back of the frame channel, then secure with a 10mm × 20mm small flat washer, lock washer, and hex nut (snug but do not tighten). 3. Repeat steps 1–2 for the passenger side, then reinstall the factory tow hook. 4. With assistance, line up the bull bar mounting tabs with the frame mounting brackets and bolt the bull bar using 4 10mm × 30mm hex bolts, 8 10mm × 20mm small flat washers, 4 lock washers, and 4 hex nuts (snug but do not tighten). 5. Level and adjust the bull bar, then tighten all hardware. 6. Perform periodic inspections to ensure all hardware remains secure.
Assistance is required in Step 4 to line up the mounting tabs on the bull bar with the frame mounting brackets before bolting them together. This ensures proper alignment of the bull bar before final tightening.
Hardware should be snugged but not fully tightened during Steps 2, 3, and 4. All hardware is tightened only in Step 5, after the bull bar has been leveled and properly adjusted. This allows for alignment adjustments before final tightening.
The manual does not provide specific torque values for any fasteners. Contact Curt Manufacturing directly for the recommended torque specifications for the 10mm and 12mm fasteners used in this installation.
Wax the bull bar after installation and regularly thereafter to add a protective layer over the finish. Do not use polish or wax containing abrasives, as these can damage the finish. For stainless steel finishes, aluminum polish may be used to polish small scratches and scuffs. For gloss black finishes and general cleaning, use only mild soap. Perform periodic inspections to ensure all hardware remains secure and tight.
After installation, verify that the bull bar is level and properly adjusted before final tightening. Once installed, perform periodic inspections to ensure that all hardware is secure and tight. The manual does not specify the inspection interval.

No. Only the 2 factory bumper mount hex nuts on the outside of the frame need to be removed. These are reused to secure the mounting bracket. The bumper itself stays in place.
No. Hardware must be snugged but not fully tightened during the initial mounting steps. All fasteners are tightened only after the bull bar is leveled and properly adjusted in the final step.
Wax the bull bar after installation and regularly to protect the finish. Do not use abrasive polish or wax. For stainless steel, aluminum polish may be used on small scratches. For all finishes, clean with mild soap only.
