You have an awesome yard.
I am looking at getting a snorkel now, but I want the fishbowl... Gotta wait for the papers from school for my taxes, but other than that I am getting some back, and that is where it is going to go!

Once I get my return, I'll be doing this as well.

No, used the hole-saw. Make sure you follow the DIRECTIONS, NOT THE PICTURES. The pics all show a 3" hole-saw, while the directions say 2". I would recommend the 2", is came out just fine. Also, I wouldn't go straight threw both inner and outer hood with hole-saw. Cut the outer,...spit out a piece of your JEEP, then line up and cut threw the inner. Cover everything REALLY WELL. I would say you are more likely to mess up your JEEP by hitting a small, uncovered part of your body with some flying sparks, or some primer. Use primer of course, I didn't use touch-up paint...just preference I guess. I have heard people say that some touch-up doesn't need primer. I say b*llsh*t, use the primer. Primer bonds to metal, paint bonds to primer...period. If you get water on that metal AT ALL, rust-city. Personally, I don't see the point to painting something the trim piece covers. Also, I had a little primer visible under the hood, but I just don't give a shit about the under side of my hood. In fact, I like the thought that there is excess primer keeping water at bay. I am thinking of painting the rivets black, but it is starting to grow on me the way it is. Metal- if you have a question, or just want me to talk you through anything just give me a call. As with all stuff on cars, once you have done it that first time it is easy.

BTW- that's my friend Adam by his red Cherokee. I am trying to talk him into going to Hardrock with us. He has a 5inch lift full suspension on that thing and is totally fearless. He gets through stuff that I keep getting stuck in.
