45 mins?! you buy some unobtanium drill bits and a 5000hp drill?

Looks awesome man. its amazing how much better the trucks drive w/ those bars.

There are some tricks to drilling those holes out. A 90 degree drill, a new drill bit, and a 3' plus long 2x4 used as leverage, they just pop right through :D

I really had no issues. I used lumber clamps to hold the brackets in place then hit one of the bottom holes with a self tapper so it wouldn't fall and break my face. Then I drilled a pilot hold and kept steping up. I used a stepper bit on the bottom ones to make it even faster.

If you have Power Steps like I do, make sure you have one of the doors open.
