Before you begin installation, read all instructions thoroughly.
Proper tools will improve the quality of installation and reduce the time required.
To protect the product, wax after installing. Regular waxing is recommended to
add a protective layer over the finish. Do not use any type of polish or wax that may
contain abrasives that could damage the finish.
For stainless steel and aluminum, polish may be used to clear small scratches
and scuffs on the finish. Mild soap may be used also to clean the product.

Step 1
Starting on the driver side, locate the
three pinch weld factory holes.
For this installation, we will be using
the front and rear mounting locations.
Step 2
The mounting brackets are universal
and will fit both the driver and passenger
sides.
Starting at the front, remove the factory
tape covering the mounting holes on the
inner rocker panel.
Step 3
With the mounting holes exposed, insert
an 8mm clip nut into each mounting point.
Step 4
Lift the bracket into place and attach an
8mm hex bolt with a flat washer and a
locking washer on each clip nut.

Insert an 8mm hex bolt with a flat washer
onto the bottom of the pinch weld and
attach with another flat washer, locking
washer and nut.
Snug the hardware,
but do not fully tighten.
Step 6
Repeat steps 2 through 5 to secure the
second driver side bracket on the rear
mounting location.
Step 7
Carefully place the side bar onto the
brackets with the larger step pad toward
the front of the vehicle.
Step 8 - Option 1 (for stainless steel side bars)
Insert the bolt plate into the bottom
channel of the side bar, and attach to

Step 9
With all hardware loosely installed, ensure
the side bar is positioned as desired.
After the side bar is centered,
fully tighten all the hardware.
It is recommended to tighten all the
bracket-to-vehicle connections first,
followed by the side bar connections.
Step 10
Repeat steps 1 through 9 on the
passenger side of the vehicle.
With the side bars installed, periodic
inspections should be performed to ensure
all mounting hardware remains tight.
To protect your investment, we
recommend you apply a layer
of nonabrasive wax.
Congratulations on the installation of
your brand new ARIES 6" oval side bars.
Step 8 - Option 2 (for aluminum side bars)
Insert four T-bolts into the bottom
channels of the side bar as shown.
Slide the bolts forward to the front-most
bracket and insert them through the
cradle.
Repeat this for each bracket and attach
with 8mm flat washer, 8mm lock washer
and nut. Snug the hardware, but do not
fully tighten.
