Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this replacement step pad for the Aries four inch wide oval nerf bars. Now, this is an exact replacement of the step pad that's on your Aries four inch wide oval nerf bars. This will work on the part numbers AAS221008, or the AAS221008-2. Both of those we do so separately on our websites.
Now, this step pad is made of a very durable polypropylene construction. It is for quantity of one step pad. And if you notice, it does include the barrel clips here that are used to go onto these posts right here, that will allow you to install this step pad to the nerf bar. A few measurements on this. Overall length, on it from one end to the other end, 23 and a half inches.
And the width on it, it's gonna be right at four inches wide. But that should do it for the review on this replacement step pad for the Aries four inch wide oval nerf bars.
Aries nerf bars have 4 of these pads. This is my 3rd time ordering, and I think the part was cheaper this time. The right part, in about a week, at a decent price.
Great packaging, perhaps overkill it was so good. Quick Shipping right to Canada. I dont shop anywhere else for things like this

Great! Its worked flawlessly, perfect fit.
I’m in Toronto Canada and was told it would be impossible to find this part. I thought I would never find it. etrailer made it happen!! I will always shop here!!! Fantastic service and quick !!! AMAZING. THANK YOU!
It was a little challenging to put on but got it done. Seems to be holding up well.
Exact match and fit, perfect replacement

Still holding strong and in place a year later

Great product and excellent shipping time. My old pad had a chrome brand name plate on it the new one does not so they don't quite match, but don't show up to much so all is good.

It’s working great with no problems will purchase again if needed

The metal rings that slide inside the steps doesn't go inside instead they break off and bend. Not happy with this setup at all.
Part arrived quickly and was exactly what I needed. Installation was easy as well.
Everything arrived on schedule. Barrel locks installed easily and step fit perfectly. I will be recommending your company to friends.
The steps lasted about 9 months before I had to replace them again. Instead of steps I went with an entire new bar to avoid the above-bar steps. They worked fine while they lasted though.
Come packaged really well. Installed really easy

Glad I picked etrailer for the product I needed. It was a great fit for my truck and I will be using etrailer again

Very happy with my purchase-ordering was easy, shopping was fast, product was exactly what I needed.
Great service.
Etrailer was great. The part fit just fine. I was hoping Aries would have updated the design or materials, but planned obsolescence I guess.

This step replacement has held its color and has been holding up just fine. It hasnt loosened up or broken any of the pegs.
Great product! I've had the Aries side steps for 13 years and they've held up great
After market replacement was great
Easy installation, perfect fit. Exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Always amazing customer service. Second purchase from etrailer. Great transaction.
I had looked for this product at several places - dealership, direct from Aris website - and could not find them. I typed in a few key words into Google and your site popped up. Thank you.
the Aries replacement pad does not fit my 4" wide oval ionic step.

I am sorry to hear that these did not work as a replacement for you. What model or SKU nerf bars did you originally have on your vehicle?


Purchased this for my 2013 Toyota Tundra and although we had to drill the holes a little bigger to get the replacement to fit, it worked perfectly. I'm tempted to buy 3 more to replace the others (that are perfectly fine) just because it looks so good!
Product exactly as advertised. Customer service above and beyond
Had to drill the holes out due to the pegs being a little bigger than the old ones Otherwise it was a direct fit and super easy install
I do not recommend. it took over 2 1/2 months to received the replacement pads. After waiting that amount of time they did not fit properly. The running boards had to be drilled out to a larger size as the plastic tabs on the pads were too large for the holes. i just ended up leaving the running boards off my truck.

The replacement pad is still holding. Aries design is not what I would call the best for this part, as it has 4 plastic pegs to hold it in place. But the part was the right fit at a good price.
