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 for full customization: polished stainless steel and black powder coat carbon steel. This set of side bars is constructed from high-strength carbon steel for a solid step, and they feature a dual-layer E-coat and semi-gloss black powder coat finish for excellent protection against scratching, chipping and peeling. 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. 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 Nissan Titan and Titan XD (see application info to verify fitment).

Yes, the ARIES S229042 4-Inch Oval Black Steel Nerf Bars, Select Nissan Titan, XD (Part #BBDRS229042) is designed to fit the 2004-2024 Nissan Titan.
The ARIES S229042 4-Inch Oval Black Steel Nerf Bars, Select Nissan Titan, XD (Part #BBDRS229042) 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 S229042 4-Inch Oval Black Steel Nerf Bars, Select Nissan Titan, XD (Part #BBDRS229042) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The kit includes 1 driver/left side bar, 1 passenger/right side bar, 6 mounting brackets (3 driver/left, 3 passenger/right), 6 serrated flange nuts (8mm), 12 hex bolts (8mm), 12 flat washers (8mm), 12 lock washers (8mm), 12 hex bolts (10mm), 12 lock washers (10mm), and 12 hex nuts (10mm).
Yes. The installation accommodates both old-style vehicles with a combination of threaded inserts and threaded studs, and new-style vehicles with two threaded inserts. The bracket mounting hardware differs slightly between the two types: old-style uses an 8mm serrated flange nut on top and an 8mm hex bolt with lock and flat washers below; new-style uses two 8mm hex bolts with lock and flat washers.
The installation uses the first, second and fourth mounting tabs along the bottom edge of the vehicle body. The third tab is not used.
Three tools are required: a ratchet, a 13mm socket, and a flathead screwdriver. The flathead screwdriver is used to remove plastic plugs from the rocker panel; the ratchet and socket are used to install fasteners.
Yes. Using a flathead screwdriver, remove the plastic plugs from the rocker panel at each mounting location to expose the threaded inserts (or combination of inserts and studs on older vehicles). This must be done before securing the brackets.
1. Locate the four mounting tabs on the vehicle body. 2. Remove plastic plugs from the first, second and fourth tabs using a flathead screwdriver. 3. Install the driver-side brackets at these three locations, snugging hardware but not fully tightening. 4. Place the driver-side bar onto the brackets, align mounting holes, and secure with 10mm bolts, lock washers and flat washers, snugging but not fully tightening. 5. Adjust and level the driver-side bar, then fully tighten all bracket fasteners followed by side bar connection fasteners. 6. Repeat steps 2–5 for the passenger side.
No. The manual specifies to snug hardware but not fully tighten during bracket installation (Step 3) and side bar connection (Step 5). Only after adjusting and leveling the side bar should you fully tighten all bracket fasteners first, followed by the side bar connection fasteners (Step 6).
On old-style vehicles with a combination of threaded inserts and studs, secure each bracket using an 8mm serrated flange nut on the top mounting point and an 8mm hex bolt with lock washer and flat washer on the lower mounting point. Snug the hardware but do not fully tighten until after the side bar is leveled.
On new-style vehicles with two threaded inserts, install each bracket using two 8mm hex bolts, two 8mm lock washers and two 8mm flat washers. Snug the hardware but do not fully tighten until after the side bar is leveled.
The side bar is secured to the brackets using 10mm hex bolts with lock washers and flat washers at each mounting location. One fastener set is used per mounting point. Snug but do not fully tighten until after the side bar is adjusted and leveled.
After placing the side bar onto the mounting brackets and securing it with 10mm fasteners (snugged but not fully tightened), adjust the side bar to the desired level. Once level, tighten all bracket fasteners to the vehicle first, then tighten the side bar connection fasteners.
Wax the product after installation and regularly thereafter to add a protective layer over the finish. Do not use any polish or wax containing abrasives, as these can damage the finish. For gloss black finishes, clean with mild soap only. Perform periodic inspections to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight.
For gloss black finishes, use only mild soap to clean the product. Do not use any polish or wax containing abrasives, as these can damage the finish. Regular waxing with non-abrasive wax is recommended for protection.
Periodic inspections should be performed to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight. The manual does not specify the inspection interval, but regular checks are recommended to maintain the integrity of the installation.
The S229042 fits vehicles with rocker panel mounting tabs and threaded inserts or studs. It accommodates both old-style vehicles (with mixed inserts and studs) and new-style vehicles (with two threaded inserts).
