Install took me most of a Sunday, with a little help from my wife lifting the crossbar into place with a floor jack.
I was done by 230pm and started around 10am after fussing with the airbag mounts on the rear axle.
Instructions were fairly clear until it talked about removal and cutting of the intercooler shroud. Photo made zero sense. The front air dam came right off with 14 nuts @ 10mm and two clips you need to push in with a screwdriver, plus four bolts on struts, also 10mm. I only notched out the lower air dam, using my multi-tool.
I was able to remove and re-install front tow hooks. Breaking them free requires a 24mm socket and breaker bar. Fishing the bolts with (provided) wires was a first, and it worked, even when I incorrectly thought the side plates bolted to the inside of the frame. I connected everything loose, then it was time to lift the 60lb? crossbar.
My wife helped me and we put the crossbar on a floorjack on top of a 4x4 chunk. Worked like a charm. Then I snugged up the five bolts through the frame, 18/19mm and 24mm using my Makita 1/2" impact driver and socket/wrenches.
It's solid and doesn't hang down too far.
