Do I need to drill into my truck bed to install this?

No. This system mounts at factory mounting points — no drilling required. You'll still want to double-check fitment before final tightening.

Can I paint the cargo box, or does it need prep work?

The black powder-coat finish is ready to go as-is. If you want a different color, light scuff and primer will help new paint bond. Exact prep steps depend on your paint choice.

What hardware comes with this?

The assembly includes the roll bar and cargo box. Fasteners for mounting to your truck are included. Check the hardware count against your factory attachment points before you start.
