Step 1
Starting at the front driver side mounting
location, locate the threaded holes on the
inside of the body panel and remove the
rubber plugs.
Attach a front mounting bracket to the
body panel using two M10 x 25mm hex
bolts with a lock washer and large
outside diameter flat washer.
Step 4
Secure the side bar to the brackets using
an M10 x 30mm hex bolt, lock washer and
small outside diameter flat washer at each
mounting location.
Snug the hardware, but do not fully tighten.
Step 2
Locate the threaded holes for the middle
mounting location on the inside of the body
panel and remove the rubber plugs.
Attach a universal mounting bracket to
the body panel using two M10 x 25mm
hex bolts with a lock and large outside
diameter flat washer.
Snug the hardware, but do not fully tighten.
Repeat for the rear mounting location.
Step 3
Place the side bar onto the mounting
brackets and alight the mounting points.
Note: If the holes on the side bar do not match
up with the brackets, ensure all brackets have
been installed in the correct locations and the
correct side bar is being used.

Step 5
Adjust and level the side bar.
With the side bar in position, it is recommended
to tighten all brackets to the vehicle first,
followed by the side bar connections.
Repeat steps 1 through 5 on the
passenger side of the vehicle.
Congratulations on the installation
of your new ARIES 4" oval side bars.
With the side bars installed, periodic
inspections should be performed to ensure
all mounting hardware remains tight.
