Will this bolt straight to my vehicle without modifications?

Yes. This mounts at factory attachment points — no drilling, cutting, or frame work needed. Standard hand tools and basic mechanical ability cover the install.

Does the black powder coat need any prep before I install it?

The finish ships ready to bolt on. If you want added protection or color matching, light sanding and a clear coat will extend durability, but it's not required.

What hardware comes with this?

The bar assembly is included. Check your vehicle's service manual for the correct fastener specs at factory mounting points — hardware may vary by model year.
