Video Transcript for Aries Round Nerf Bars Review AA200001-2

Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at Aries line of 3" diameter round nerf bars.These 3" tube steps are going to make your vehicle look better, and they're going to make it easier to get in and out.These are particularly useful for small children getting in and out of the vehicle, or for other people that have a hard time getting in and out of the vehicle. If you have a lifted vehicle they can make it easier for anybody to get in.This is going to be a durable carbon steel, 3" diameter tube step. It's going to run from the front door, all the way to the back. So the both the front and back doors are going to make it easier for all your passengers.There will be foot pads located on each rail. They're made of a durable polypropylene and they've got ridges on them to help increase traction while getting in and out of your vehicle.Each tube step is going to be custom fit for your vehicle. It's going to come with a unique rail and brackets that will bolt right up and make a nice easy installation.Depending on your application you may have weld nuts you can bolt directly into, or there may be some existing holes for the hardware.You can get these in a polished stainless steel, or a black powder coat finish like the one we have here.Our customer Earl says, "Easy to install and made my daughters truck look great.

Plus it made it easier for her to climb into her truck." Here are some pictures from other customers as well.Unlike simple steps, tube steps provide a larger area for your feet. They also blend in more with the vehicle over steps, which tend to provide a more rugged look. The rounded curved look also sets them apart from flat and straight running boards. Running boards have a larger step area. Of the three options, it's a matter of personal style as to which you prefer.

If you have decided to go with tube steps, Aries and Westin make similar options. It may just come down to price and style as to which you prefer.And that completes our look at Aries line of 3" diameter round nerf bars.

You guys are awesome! The is the second time I’ve ordered from you and everything fits! Rare these days! And free shipping to boot!
Thanks!



by:

Everything about this purchase was easy. Easy to find, purchase and install. Shipping was on time also. Excellent fit on my daughter's GMC Canyon. They look great too.



by:

The product seems very solid, stable and high quality. I think it looks great on my Explorer and it makes getting in and out of it a breeze for my children. Make sure you lay out all of your pieces to make sure you have everything you need though. I would have easily given these 5 stars, but there was a few issues. Mine came missing 10 washers. Absolutely nothing was labeled. The instructions were so faded that I had to go online for them and had to guess if I was using the right part in the right spot. Other than that, the install should really only take about 30 minutes.



by:

bars have made getting in and out of the truck so much easier and they look great.



by:

Very beefy, heavy duty brackets. All mounting holes aligned perfectly. The finish on the rails looks perfect



by:

very easy to install they look great and work great took less than an hour to install



by:

The installation on the product was very easy, anyone with minor mechanical skills can easily install these bars themselves. I had several complements about how they look on my truck. There were a few minor problems with the shipping but the customer service took care of it promptly. I would highly recommend the company and product.



by:

Perfect addition to my 2014 Nissan Frontier. Easy to install and nice looking.
I’m a 67 year old woman and with a little help from a friend, we installed them in less than an hour. Good choice!!



by:

The product was identical to the one I purchased 12 years ago when I purchased the vehicle. It installed easily and quickly, once the old one was removed, which was interesting.



by:

Fits looks & works well. Thanks



by:

Once my set of nerf bars arrived my nephew installed them .Installation was easy and simple in 30 minutes he had them installed.They make my truck look awesome.



by:

Today is the 1 year anniversary, of the purchase of my Aries nerf bars from etrailer, I have to say the installation was a breeze, and all the hardware was included. The bars still look as good as the day I installed them.



by:

They fit well and we’re easy to put on



by:

Etrailer was very helpful and great service and I have ordered several items from them and always been happy, with that said, These nerf bars worked and looked good at the start, but they started rusting out in about 6 months. I would not get these and go with ones that have a different finish on them. Here are current pictures after a couple years. I kept them clean and if we had snow in St Louis, I would always wash them after I drove in case salt got on them but look at the pictures, I have to order more now, Quality is not there on these



by:

I really wanted to buy Westin 3" bars but could not get any definite answer to the question of whether they would fit a Tacoma with factory mud flaps. The Aries provided PDF instructions with picture, so I went with them. The Aries are of less quality than the Westins because the end caps are plastic and not welded. Also, the foot pads seem to be attached with tabs so have to assume there are holes in the flat spots for attaching pads. I will attempt to seal everything with silicone. The good news is that they are a breeze to install and fairly light. What I wanted most of all was side protection and the Aries should provide that well. On hindsight, I would order the Westins.



by:

Received the running boards around 4pm and had them installed within the hour. They were worth the money, time and looks. Fantastic.



by:

Do yourself a favor and buy something else. The finish was decent, but did not fit my truck without modification and was very flimsy. Buyer beware.

Order response was very good, as was shipping, but again, the product isn't worth the time or money.



by:

I absolutely love them!!! The basic installation was super easy. The additional support straps require a little creativity but don't be afraid to cut and bend them (support straps, not the tubes) to make a nice support! My bars are solid as a rock, not like most add on steps that wobble when you get in and out of your truck!!



by:

When the box arrived it was in pretty bad shape and I thought this was going to be a mess. After opening I saw everything was packed really well and there was zero damage. I bought these so my wife would be able to get in the truck with minimal effort and they made it easy for her. They look good and it would have only taken me about 30 min for each side if I didn't have a diesel DEF tank to get in the way. It took some effort but the job got done and they really look good. They are well built and I would definitely recommend them to others. The only issue I have is that it would have looked much better if the bolts nuts and washers were black also.



by:

great look for a 24 year old RAM Dually



by:

Très beau produit. Mais malheureusement, j’ai une petite bosse sur le marche pied gauche. La boîte est en très bonne état,et l’emballage à l’intérieur était correct aussi.Je vous envoie des photos. Pour le reste c’est parfait. Facile à installer. Voir la photo avec masking tape. Je ne sais pas si il y’a quelque chose à faire avec ça. Merci à l’avance.

[Very nice product. But unfortunately, I have a small bump on the left foot step. The box is in very good condition, and the packaging inside was okay too. I am sending you pictures. For the rest it's perfect. Easy to install. See the photo with masking tape. I don't know if there is something to do with it. Thanks in advance.]



by:

Small dents in bottom of nerf bar. One area the paint came off I had to repaint to hopefully stop any rust. Didn’t want to hassle with a return. The dents are minor so I will keep them.



by:

Excellent instructions, and really was a 30-40 minute install. I think they look like they came with the truck. Would recommend.



by:

I have ordered a couple of items from etrailer. Shipping is fast and website is easy to navigate. On this order, even before it arrived, I noticed it cheaper on another site. Etrailer refunded 110% of the difference in the delivered price even before the product arrived. Excellent! Installation was very easy however I had to make a slight modification. Not all of the existing bolts on the truck were long enough to accept the flat washer and then the lock washer. There were no threads left for the nut. Easy fix. I wired brushed the bolts and cleaned the provided nuts to remove any oil. I then used automotive grade thread locker. The side bars are nice and solid and make getting into my Nissan Frontier much easier.



by:

Very excited about my new Nerf bars. Shipping was great and installation was quite easy. Good instructions are included. It took us under one hour to install both. They look great and definitely help stepping in and out.
