1. Start installation on the front passenger-side of the
vehicle. Determine if the vehicle has an open-floor panel
or a threaded hole in the floor panel for the top tab on
the bracket, see figures 1 and 2. Remove any insulation
that may be covering the mounting locations.
2. Locate the front passenger-side bracket.
Note: The mounting brackets are specific to
each mounting location. Ensure you have the
correct bracket identified before proceeding.
Vehicles with open mounting location: Insert one
10mm nut plate into the large square opening in the floor
panel. Line up the threaded nut with the small hole in line
with the tab on the bracket, see figure 1. Bolt the bracket
to the nut plate with one 10mm x 35mm hex bolt, one
10mm lock washer and one 10mm flat washer, see figure
3A. Snug the hardware, but do not fully tighten.
Vehicles with factory threaded hole in floor panel:
Bolt the tab on the bracket to the threaded hole in the
floor panel with one 8mm x 35mm hex bolt, one 8mm
lock washer and one 8mm x 24mm OD flat washer,
see figures 2 and 3A. Snug the hardware, but do not
fully tighten.
3. Line up the mounting plate on the bracket with the two
factory holes in the pinch weld. Bolt the mounting bracket
to the back of the pinch weld using two 6mm x 25mm
button head cap bolts, four 6mm x 22mm flat washers,
(two against pinch weld and two inside against the
bracket) and two 6mm nylock nuts, see figure 3A.
Snug the hardware, but do not fully tighten.

4. Repeat steps 2 through 4 to install the passenger-side
middle and rear mounting brackets.
5. Place the passenger-side side bar onto the mounting
brackets and secure it using six 10mm x 35mm hex bolts,
six 10mm lock washers and six 10mm flat washers,
see figure 5. Note: Mounting cradles on the brackets
should be inline and pointing toward the rear of the
vehicle for proper installation. Snug the hardware,
but do not fully tighten.
6. Adjust side bar so that it is level and centered,
and tighten all bolts to complete the passenger-side
installation.
7. Repeat this process for the driver-side of vehicle.
8. Congratulations on the installation of your new
ARIES 3" round side bars. With the side bars installed,
periodic inspections should be performed to ensure all
mounting hardware remains tight.
To protect your investment, see the 'Notes and Maintenance'
section on the first page of this instruction manual.
