The install for the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms Item # RM-521196-4 is super simple. You'll be able to complete it by yourself, but an extra set of hands to help hold the cross bar while you bolt it in wouldn't hurt. You'll need to remove the fascia, pull back the fender liner, bolt on the crossbar, trim your fascia, put the fender liner and fascia back on. There's an installation guide attached that comes with pictures to explain in greater detail exactly what to do and the torque specifications for the bolts.

One note about this installation is that due to manufacturing variances, the hole in the outside of the frame rail may not exist so some drilling may be required.

One other item you'll need to complete this install is Loctite Threadlocker 262 - High Strength - Up to 3/4" Nuts/Bolts - 0.20-Fl-Oz Tube Item # LT37420.
