    haha! Thanks, but the a friend of mine has one from when he did his. We kind of just pass it around the group as needed. Another member is getting a snorkel for christmas, so I will pass it to them when I am done.

    Nice! That's the way to do it. Now I'm stuck with this giant hole saw and no other uses.

    I know it is such a random tool that everyone uses one time.

    Honestly, took me a long time. Not that is was that difficult, but I just wanted to do a good job. Plus, I did it while I was at work so I had to stop and answer the phone, pack some orders, eat lunch...etc. I think it took me 6 hours from the time I pulled in the truck - till the time I closed the hood. It could be done in 2.5-3, but I didn't have the right tools. A set of ratcheting box wrenches would have saved a load of time. I will say having my fenders cut definitely made things easier.

    Looks good! And yes ratcheting wrenches were handy except for the very top bolt.

    Thanks! Truck has came a long way in the last month.


    Hell I think I could have used on on that top bolt too. I used a regular box wrench with an extension taped to it....super ghetto! At least it got the job done.

    I couldn't get the closed end of the wrench over the nut due to the inner fender so had to use the open end and do a 1/4 turn at a time.
