I paid $281 for mine ($325 after shipping). A dealer is easily going to charge you dealer MSRP + $150 (easy) to install.
Installed it myself, took little to no effort really. All you need is a wrench and a ramp to drive your truck onto.

WOW  that's just ridiculous for a few bolts. I can get it for about the same total, ($301 + $23 shipping) so I guess I'll just do it myself (like I did with the roack rails, steps and lightbar).
Thanks

You may want to take a peek at a past post on the install. Apparently not all of the bolt holes line up perfectly on all of these??? I still do not think it would be a big deal to install with an extra set of hands. http://www.hummerforums.com/m_83428/tm.htm There are some other posts where everything lined up great and took only 10-15 mins to install???
If you do it, post back what you find out in your case. Good luck.

Yeah, CCMDoc, that was my thread. I still haven't installed it. I was going to drill the holes out a bit but they are already right at the edges--I don't know if I could gain any room. I haven't figured out what to do yet.
Regardless, you want the help of a buddy installing it. Not absolutely required but would make it a lot easier. I paid $325 shipped from an eBay supplier (superchevyperformance) thought they took a week to ship it after the auction closed.

Mine fit fine, some hole tolerances were snug but I had no problems doing it. A second hand is always a great thing when installing anything.

As soon as I have it, I'll let you know and take you up on your offer.
Thanks
