First off...wow what a PAIN IN THE ASS to install this...secondly IT LOOKS AWESOME!
First off...doing the hole-saw was not too big of an issue...using a dremel to do the rest of the cut....took a while...I went through literally 25 grinding disks to get this:


So with that done I figure lets paint...test fit...and uh-oh..since I am running the DAYSTAR hood latches...I need to grind ANOTHER 1/4" off the top of the hood..dammit! I am all out of grinding disks! So I use the sanding tool to sand the metal down...and burn my finger off....wonderful.
Then everything lined up...life was good...I mark the holes for the rivets...get ready to drill the 1/8" holes...get two done and promptly break the drill-bit off in the hood...F M L!!!
Get another bit and finish....loose two rivets...had to use self-tapping screws for two of them....other than that...
voila!


Doesn't look to bad for everything in the world going wrong....

 

nice! a busted drill bit and some grinding discs isn't too bad of a loss, but sorry 'bout ur finger bro!

 

nice i did one today also. Well i didnt do it, but i supervised well. Ill post pics of mine step by step.

 

Nice, good job......will probably do this eventually.....

 

Looks good, I'm still working up the courage to do that to mine, glad it all worked out in the end

 

If you use a Dremel, use the Dremel Diamond cutting disc..... All you need is one, and you'll still have it once you are done.

 

good then you can go first through the water holes!

 

haha.....Okay....not top of my list for priority mods....but when I do get one, I will go first. Plan on doing my long arm 4 inch lift, rear bumper, gears first... Gears will in with the next 1.5 months.

 

Nice job, was worth the effort!

 

I love it !!!!!
