Overview
The ARIES Offroad Bar Grille/Brush Guard in black, part ARS9048, is a steel grille guard listed for the 2005–2015 Nissan Xterra. Aries positions it as a way to give a truck or SUV an aftermarket look and extra front-end protection, with a crossbar that can take LED lights.
Aries says each guard uses 1-1/2 inch heavy-wall tubing welded into a one-piece frame, with rubber-coated vertical risers and horizontal crossbars. The crossbar is pre-drilled with two holes for LED work lights or an LED light bar, and the light bar can be mounted with ARIES base mount brackets, part #1110312. Aries describes the installation as no-drill.
The product text also refers to a Jeep Liberty in its application wording, but the fitment list for this guard is the Nissan Xterra, so the list is the fitment that applies.
Aries says the mounting brackets bolt onto the vehicle’s frame using pre-existing mounting points, and that the risers, brush guards and crossbars are configured to complement the body lines of each application.

Aries lists this grille guard for the 2005–2015 Nissan Xterra, in its Off-Road, PRO-4X, S, SE and X configurations, as a direct fit.
Other Nissan models are not on this list, and the Jeep Liberty wording in the product text does not match it. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
