Will I need additional hardware to install this?

This bar mounts at factory rocker points with existing bolt holes — no drilling. Bring your own wrench set and torque wrench. Any fasteners you may need beyond the bar itself should be sourced separately.

Does this need to be painted before installation?

The bar arrives ready to mount. If you want a finished color match, plan for prep and paint before bolting it down — once mounted, finish work becomes much harder.

Can I install this in my driveway?

Yes. You'll need a jack, jack stands, basic wrenches, and a torque wrench. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for the correct rocker-point bolt torque specs. Expect 1–2 hours per side.
