Bullbar installation

RN253 · March 7, 2015

Could someone please post a pic and/or instructions on how to mount a aries 3" bullbar to a 07 GMC sierra please. I have toiled with this thing for longer than it should take to install do to unavailable instructions. Their website is horrid with no online instructions that can be downloaded due to 404 error.

I have removed the tow hooks. But am lost after where this thing mounts on to or the direction of the mount brackets. Instructions again would help...

Is this 07 or a 07 classic? If it is a 07 mount the brackets to the bar with the L part of the bracket towards the bottom and outside and it should slide in where the tow hooks mounted and bolt right up, on mine the left side used 2 bolts and the right side used 1. If I was at home I would take a pic but I'm out and away from my truck but if I get home before to late I'll try and take a pic.

Besides 07 classic or new body style is it a 1500 1500HD 2500LD 3500LD or 2500HD 3500HD?

I figured it out. I couldn't make sense of which bracket was left or right up or down. I tried attaching them to the bar and then sliding them in the frame by my guess. that didnt work so I put them in the frame housing, some how managed to hold it up and attach the bar to the bracket but came up with the bolt holes not lining up under the truck... so i was able to take a screw driver and maneuver and hold it in place then screw the bolt in. What a process. Definitely not impressed with the installation...

this is for the nnbs truck. Looks nice but.. hell if i buy from them again.

I noticed it crooked. Its tilted inward towards the grille and bumper. Looks off.Ugh. frustration.Guess i will be monkeying with it on some down time.

Its new body style 07. I would appreciate pics just to make sure. Maybe I got the wrong hardware. Ordered quite a bit from realtruck.com. The tonneau cover was missing two 2 clamps...

I ordered my stuff off carid.com and some stuff off amazon but some stuff like exhaust, lift kit I went straight to the source. I'll take some pics after church.
