Product Details

Ford Ranger Edge / XLT 2003, 3" Semi-Gloss Black Bull Bar with Removable Brushed Skid Plate by Aries®. Material: Carbon Steel. From the cattle rancher on the open range to the industrial man of the asphalt jungle to the jerky-jawing trail hog of the north woods, the Aries 3" bull bar is made for those who face the rugged environment of a hardworking lifestyle. It features durable carbon steel construction and a semi-gloss black powder coat finish that makes even lady lumberjacks swoon.

Installation

A bull bar with skid plate protects your vehicle from damage to sensitive and expensive parts of your vehicle. If you use the off-road capabilities of your ride, stones and stumps can damage the oil pan or, on 4WD vehicles, the transmission, which can have disastrous effects. The bar also provides a good place for your auxiliary lights, with pre-drilled mounting holes. As the bar is of a bolt-on, no-drill design, you can mount the auxiliary lights without drilling holes in the bumper, thus preserving the trade-in value of the vehicle. The bull bar also prevents damage to the front end from parking lot accidents, preserving both the good looks and the good value of your vehicle.

Give your full-size pickup truck or SUV a hardy look with Aries 3" bull bars. Built with heavy-duty steel tube construction, bull bars are designed to withstand the rugged environment of a hardworking lifestyle, from the cattle rancher on the open range to the industrial man of the asphalt jungle. Aries 3" bull bars feature an easy, no-drill application for quick installation on your truck. They also come with pre-drilled auxiliary light holes along the crossbar to accept fog lights, off-road lights or other aftermarket lights. One thing that makes the Aries 3" bull bar unique is its removable skid plate. This detachable plate is made from stainless steel and features a brushed finish to resist scratches and rust. Because the skid plate can be removed, you can easily customize the look of your truck. The bull bar skid plate features an aggressive cutout design and offers excellent protection for the front end and underside of your truck from stones, branches and other debris.

Buy It
I wanted this bull bar because I wanted my black 2000 Ford Ranger to look better and to protect my truck if I hit something. It didn't ship until about a month after I ordered it but that was my fault for not checking my email. The installation was very easy and the only part I needed help with was when someone had to hold it for me while I tightened the 2 bolts from the brackets to the bull bar. And the brackets go right between the plastic shroud (if you have one) and the frame. I Highly recommend washing the underside of your truck before installation to stop you from getting covered in dust. The only problem is that the lights I previously had bolted to my bumper wouldn't fit in the holes in the bull bar, because the are about 6 inches by 9 inches, they would fit if I drilled new holes. And I think about 6-inch lights will fit in the holes already there. So overall, I would say this was a great investment and it makes my truck look sexier, and I can't wait to hit something with it.

Aries Bull Bar
I bought the black one with the grey skid plate about a month ago! Very easy install and pretty straight forward instructions. I have little to no experience with installing anything like this and it took me 1 hour and 30 min to complete. Everything is very sturdy and adds a great look to the truck, its very easy to clean as well. The package was very secure everything inside was perfect, with no scratches and weighed about 20 pounds. Overall I would recommend it.

Very Pleased
Came undamaged in the mail. Powder coated bull bar looks great on my Pathfinder. One man job to install it. I was really pleased with this one.

Aries® B35-4005 - 3" Black Powdercoated Bull Bar
Awesome product. Looks great on my 2011 Silverado. The instructions were a little unclear, but after about 30 minutes i had the Bull Bar fully installed on my own. Mounts directly where the tow hooks. It mounted sturdy and does not move at all.

Aries® 35-0000 - License Plate Relocator
I thought I was going to need the relocator when I installed the Aries bull bar, but on a 2011 Silverado the bull bar was high enough over the license plate that is still within state law. It moves the plate in the middle of the bull bar, so it is kind of ugly.
