Aries Round Nerf Bars - 3" Diameter - Semi-Gloss Black Powder Coated Steel

Video Transcript for Aries Round Nerf Bars Review

Hi there, truck and SUV owners! today we're going to be taking a look at Aries line of three inch round nerf bars. Nerf bars are a great addition to your vehicle, whether you're wanting it just for the style and how it looks, or if you're wanting it to help you get in and out of your truck to make things easier. And maybe it's not just for you, maybe this is for some of your passengers. Maybe you have smaller children that have a harder time getting in and out. And the step here is going to make it easier for them to do so, whether it's in or out by giving them an additional step that is closer to the ground. And if you have a lifted truck, it's definitely going to make a big difference there in helping you get in and out of that truck as well.

And they can be invaluable for those that have mobility issues. The large step here is going to give you a nice flat surface that's lower down than your vehicle. So you get an additional step to get up in and it has raised surfaces on it as well so that way you can have sure-footing in all different inclement weathers Whether it's wet outside or you've got snow on your foot that'll squish down under your weight into the grooves and allow you to get traction onto the raised areas. These running words from Aries will run the complete cab of your truck front to back and you'll receive one for each side so that way all of your passengers will be able to get in and out easily. Whether they're getting in the back or in the front.

Some other options out there are just regular steps. And a regular step is just for a single door. So with those, you would want to have one on each door. If you've got multiple doors, just increases the cost. With this, you cover all the doors with one simple setup.

And I personally like the look of the running board. It kind of has, the nerf bar here kind of has a more factory look, similar to that of like a running board. Whereas the steps, they're kind of a more aggressive look cause they're only in certain locations just to help you get in and out. And while running boards offer similar mobility assistance in getting in and out of the vehicle and running front to back, they don't taper and to your vehicle like nerf bars do. I personally like the look of nerf bars a little bit better than running boards but that really all comes down to personal taste.

And these aren't just useful for getting in and out of the vehicle but they're also useful for getting to things that's on top of the vehicle. If you have a roof-mounted system up there where you maybe have a cargo box or a bike rack, it can be difficult to get items on. I'm pretty tall so, some of those items are no big deal but if you're to have a bike rack up on here I definitely appreciate this running board. Cause even though I'm a little over six feet tall, I'd have a real hard time getting a bike on here without that extra step. And one of the things I always like to check with nerf bars cause I always have a concern of, 'how durable is this' I've got some larger friends at home. Are we going to have any issues if we're both getting in and out of this truck So I like to check to see the stability and everything that I've tested from Aries is very strong. You can see we've got almost no flex in our system here. We're really just rocking the suspension of the truck. So I feel plenty confident that this is going to last a very long time. And any of my friends, we should have no problem getting in and out of this. Even if we're stepping on it at the same time. Now whatever truck or SUV you may have, these are all custom-fit for your particular vehicle. So you want to make sure you use our fit guide to ensure you're getting the correct ones. The nerf bars and the brackets are going to be custom for that particular vehicle. So the look is going to be similar but it might be a little longer, a little shorter. It may stick out a little further. It just depends on that particular body style. But most of them are going to be fairly similar to this and they're going to have similar bracketry. And from what I found with a lot of these Aries bars is they're an extremely easy bar to install. In most cases, there's pre-existing holes and you get all the hardware you need. And sometimes there's even pre-existing studs or weld nuts. So that basically just bolts up in most cases. And now regardless of the color of your vehicle, there are going to be two different options as far as the color of our nerf bars. You can get the black powder coat finish like we're showing off here. And this is going to integrate it and give kind of a more factory look. It's going to be noticeable. It's going to help it look more aggressive, but it's not going to detract away from the vehicle. It's not going to be an eye popper that draws your eyes. There's also a Chrome finish. That's going to be very reflective and that's going to draw a lot of attention. If you are modifying the vehicle more for the looks then the performance you might consider the Chrome because that's really going to be an eye grabber. And that completes our look at Aries' line of three inch round nerf bars..
