uh. . . . What?

 

I Spent 8hrs Trying To Install This Aries Oval Step Bars Come To Find Out That They Sent Me Two Left Driver Side Oval Step Bars.

I Can Get The Passenger Side Middle,front Holes Line Up But The Rear Bracket Is Off By Almost 3''. Has Anyone Else Experience The Samething? Do You Have A Solution To This Problem? Without Drilling

 

Sorry I Meant Who

 

Also They Sent Only The Bolts For Step Bars Nut Bolts For Mounting Bracket. Oh Yea None The Brackets Were Label Front,middle,rear Left Or Right! Am Very Pissed Off $300.00 And Get The Wrong Product. Go Figure The Get The Product Here Friday And Let You Spend All Day Sat,sun Figure Out What They Did Wrong.

Xcessory.com Beware!!!

 

Front 2 bracket tabs facing backwards, back bracket facing forwards:
Driver and passenger side should be the same.
They are very easy to mix up. (took me three times to get driver side)
This is the best I could do with pics:

 

How have had a problem installing aries oval step tubes with passenger side?

Yes, I had the exact same problem on the same side. Aries ended up sending me a driver side bracket for the passenger side. Of course it had to be the very last bracket I was installing too:crying: The bolts would not line up with the holes so finally I realized that I had been sent one wrong bracket. Aries sent me a new one no questions asked. Took a week though.

 

I tried 3 different sets of Aries and got 3 damaged sets that I had to send back. I finally told them I didn't want a fouth set. And it is true, It is Aries that is at fault not the company you order from. Steps ship from Aries Warehouse. Maybe Xcessary.com should be more selective who the do business with because the bad rep will rub off on them since they are the contact company. Eddie

 

Has anyone else had any better luck with the Aries oval step bars? Seems like nothing but bad luck! I've been trying to figure out who has a good oval step, Nissan only offers painted ones (I think), Westin wants me to spend $699 + $200 for a mounting kit + tax "give me a break" screw the Canadians again. :cheers:

for cheaper than 699+200 they got the texas titan steps on one of the nissan sites...cant remember right now but Ill post if I find (or someone else, chime in here) theyre expensive as well but not that expensive

 

Try the Nastas. Best quality for a good price. t-rexmotorsports.com

 

I just ordered my Aries Ovals last night, hope I have better luck with them, have had on past vehicles.

I just put a set of the texas titan chrome steps on my 05 KC. The following
site has them for $448 with free shipping. I showed my local Nissan dealer parts
guy what I could get them for on the web, and he matched the price. That
way I didn't have to worry about the hassle of shipping them back if something
was wrong. The fit was excellent and took 1/2 hour to install.

Is there a reason to go with after market steps rather than factory steps other than looks?

Better price and quality. You can get 100% stainless steel steps for $270.00 aftermarket

 

I've seen guys selling used factory ones for 100 bucks...

At that price..what would you guys recomend?

 

thtas about all i would pay for factory ones...so if u like the way they look, go for it

I'll second that, I love my nasta's and was pretty easy to install.

jhootitan, thanks for the post and pic's of the rails, side shot of your titan made my mind up and i just ordered the same ones you have. your pic's of the brackets will help as well, seems like the instructioins are useless, lots of tips from the forum though so i'm counting on the install to not be that bad. :cheers:

 

I installed a set of the Aries Nerf bars. Once i saw the direction i now knew it was a puzzle. The paper that the directions came on might as well been blank. I was able to figure out the bars went. One problem though, actually a little more then one. The center brackets on each side i loosely placed bolts into the front bracket was about two inches off and the back bracket was about 12" off. I am thinking they sent me the wrong application. Any how i like the way the bars look. So will just have the front and rear brackets welded to the bars any decent muffler shop should be able to do this. Its not a big deal just an inconvience. But the instructions really suck!!!!!

 

I have Aries and must have gotten lucky because mine came undamaged. For the price, they look great and work just as well. I researched these on this site prior to buying from TRex on ebay.

It took me and a buddy about 45 minutes to install both. There is a thread somewhere on here where someone spent some time describing how to install the brackets. Bummer others have had bad luck because I think they look awesome, especially for the price. I have had mine for about eight months so far and no probs even after a record winter here in Tahoe for moisture. I would recommend these despite the problems others have had.:blueblob:

 

Go Nasta. cheap and top quality

 

I should have listened to you guys...... My Aries bars showed up and sure enough one of them had not one, not two, but THREE dents in it.

And here is the reale Kicker!!!! Box and packaging were in "perfect" condition.

I would actually bet $1000 it did not happen in shipping and that these morons at the factory actually shipped it thinking there not huge dents lets just see what happens:bangit: :bangit: :bangit:

Claim they are shipping a new set tomorrow morning free of charge guess we will see how those show up.

Geez... that is a bunch of bad stories on Aries. I think that I am gonna take off the factory bars and install the N-Fab bars.

You should have bought the Nasta brand.....

If what they send me tomorrow isnt flawless I will be!!
