Will this bolt directly to my truck without drilling?

Yes. These mount at factory rocker points — no drilling needed. Fasteners and exact torque specs will be confirmed in your installation guide.

What prep work is required before installation?

Clean the mounting area of dirt and debris. The bar ships with a factory-ready finish; inspect for any shipping damage before fastening down.

Can I paint this to match my truck's color?

The honeycomb surface is designed to be installed as-is. If you want to paint, sand the finish lightly and use an automotive-grade primer and topcoat rated for exterior panels.
