Do these bolt to factory mounting points?

Yes. They attach at factory rocker panel attachment locations—no drilling or frame modification needed. You'll need basic hand tools and a socket set to complete the install.

Will the step pads slip in wet conditions?

The honeycomb surface is designed for grip, but standing water or heavy ice will reduce traction on any step surface. Wipe them down after rain or snow for best footing.

Do these need to be painted before installation?

The bars arrive ready to install as-is. If you prefer a custom color match or protective coating, sand with medium-grit paper, apply primer, and finish with automotive paint before mounting.
