My pre install took a couple hours then I removed it all and painted it. I let it sit for a few days before I reinstalled it but since all the holes was drilled it only took about 30min the second time

Mine gets installed this Monday I had it powder coated black. I'm paying a shop cause I don't trust myself. I'll pay attention to the time it takes cause he always let's me hang around and watch.

I just bought a used one that was was powdercoated & installed but never had a tire on it. I might be mounting it on my jeep tomorrow.

Looks like it could install in about an hour if you know what you're doing.

Be careful with the supplied bolts and nuts, they are made of a soft stainless metal so they are prone to bugger up. I had 2 seize up on me during the pre fit. I was lucky that I was able to find some at lowes.
