    Write instructions not so they can be understood, but that they cannot be mis-understood.

    In caliraisedled's defense, in the install video they drilled the pilot hole with a step bit, and then used a regular 25/64 bit to finish it off. OP says he used the step bit the whole time resulting in the oblong holes.

    " I began the process with a buddy, we marked which spot would be best to position the brackets... Marked them... Then used a center punch to create an initial hole for drilling...
    Began to make the hole with a $40 unibit I purchased from a local hardware store!
    from there, went to finish the hole with the same 25/64 bit used in the installation video... sure enough, no matter how slow I went, the holes came out oblong/ovalish (ALL FOUR OF THEM)"

    I hate to say it... but CaliRaised has the WORST instructions ever. Their light bars are high quality but seriously their instructions are a complete joke. Pissed me off that i had to re-tap and retrofit my mounting

    Go to a body shop and get them to try install the riv nuts or another version of crimp nut of the same size with a proper tool and hope for the best as there is varying qualities of these fasteners.

    This is why every aftermarket company has the disclaimer. Even if they make a perfect product there needs to be a little mechanical prowess by the installer to not fuck up the installation. After all, we are talking about drilling four holes, that's it.

    OP in two months - "I keep getting a weird whistling sound coming from the top of the front windows, anyone else have this problem?"

    That is going to end up being one expensive light bar in the end.
