I did not have any trouble installing the cross bars on my 2006 Hemi Commander. What you see is what you get. The knob on top was a concern at first but it no longer worries me that it stands out. My last Grand Cherokee had a lower profile that was more appeasing to the eye. It was a Jeep product and quite a bit more expensive.

They are extremely easy to install and no tools are necessary. I am 5'2", 105 lbs. and had no problem doing it myself. They do look exactly like the picture and are genuine OEM parts. Hope this helps.

My husband says they were easy to install, he didn't use tools, and they look just like the picture. IMO they look very nice. Hope this helps.

Yes, These are very easy to install. Just make sure you tighten U-bolt nuts evenly and stay clear of the brake lines.

It is real easy, just line them up, drill, and bolt on. There are videos on youtube.

Yes this item is easy to install. All you need is at hand drill in the screws that come with it. You just put it in place and screw the screws through the preset holes. That's all others do it.

They come with everything you need to install them. They are very easy to install. It will only take about a half hour.

They are a complete unit for both sides. You need to google how to replace. Very easy but they will need adjusting so read up on that. Mine work perfect and make the jeep look much newer

It fit my 2009 Jeep Commander Overland. I would guess they'd fit a 2006 as well. Worst case scenario you would just have to return them. They only take a few minutes to install so it won't take much time to find out. Hope this helps.

you don't have to assemble them you have to install them. you have to know how to do basic wiring on a vehicle. my son didn't have problems, but he is an auto technician. he likes them and did not have issues with installing.

I installed these on my 87 wrangler you have to trim the front of the front flares and the rest just drill and attach. You get to cut out about 2 inch's of wheel well too so you can fit bigger tires with no lift. It is a common swap and it took me a weekend to install. But they are designed for the 97 to 06 wranglers.

yes they are very easy to install would recommend a second hand putting the new mirrors on it makes it easier holding them off and tightening them down

According to Crutchfield, they will fit your truck. As far as buying anything extra, I always like to have gray wire twist ties and some zip ties handy to connect new speakers to old vehicle wire (the speakers come with the connectors and a small amount of wire). Hard to install? That depends on the vehicle itself and whether or not you have ever remove the door or wall panels. It's not hard if you go slow and make sure that you have removed any screws attached to the panel before you begin pulling out on it. Check out Youtube for videos on how to install car speakers. You might even find one on this very truck.

I purchased my set (2 arms) for my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee and they were quite easy to install -- maybe took me twenty minutes.

Yes they do. No drilling required. Pull tape tabs and install like OEM ones.

You describe me in your question: educated with no experience with cars. I was able to install them. I would not say it was "very easy" because you'll have to learn a bit about your car before doing it. The manufacturer has some nice instructional videos here: http://youtu.be/jgvvx3qGA_g and here: http://youtu.be/NZp1vqScX64 . I still had lots of questions that were specific to my car and had to do a lot of research there. I did have to drill some holes for mounting screws (since there was no place for zip ties to attach). All told, I probably spent eight hours, two trips to the auto parts store and several attempts before I figured out all the steps.
