Will this require drilling holes in my frame?

No. This bar mounts directly to existing factory attachment points — no drilling or frame modification needed. Test-fit before final tightening to confirm clearance with any aftermarket lighting or accessories you're running.

What prep is needed before installation?

Inspect mounting points for rust or corrosion and clean them back to bare metal if needed. The powder coat is ready to install straight out of the box — no additional prep required on the bar itself.

Can I repaint or refinish the black finish later?

Yes. The powder coat can be sanded and repainted with standard automotive paint or powder coat. If you're planning a custom color, do a test spot first to confirm adhesion to the existing finish.
