Notes and Maintenance
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 mounting locations on the inside
of the rocker panel.
There will be three 8mm studs in
each location to secure the brackets.
Step 2
Locate the six mounting brackets. The
mounting brackets are universal and will
fit on both the driver and passenger sides.
Step 3
Starting at the front, place a nylon
washer over the factory bolts, followed
by the bracket.
Note: It is important to install the nylon
washers first to prevent a corrosion
effect from the aluminum body and steel
bracket.
Step 4
Add an 8mm flat washer, and
secure with a nylock nut.
Snug the hardware with a
13mm socket, but do not fully tighten.

Step 5
Repeat steps 3 and 4 to install the
middle and rear brackets on the driver
side mounting locations.
Snug the hardware,
but do not fully tighten.
Step 6
Carefully place the side bar onto the
brackets and ensure the rivet nuts on
the bottom of the side bar line up with
the brackets.
Attach the side bar to the brackets
using the supplied 10mm hex bolt,
lock washers and flat washers.
Snug the hardware,
but do not fully tighten.
Step 7
With all the hardware installed, we
recommend tightening all of the vehicle
connections first, followed by the side
bar connections.
Check for level and adjust if necessary.
Once aligned, tighten all hardware.
Repeat this entire process
on the passenger side.
Step 8
Remember to do periodic inspections
to make sure that all hardware is secure
and tight.
To protect your investment, we
recommend you apply a layer of
nonabrasive wax.
Congratulations on the installation of
your brand new Aries 4" oval side bars.
