Rear tire carrier install?

Hey guys, looking to get my rear tire/jerry can carrier installed sometime, though I'm missing a few of the tools required (angle drill, 1" hole saw or Unibit 335, die grinder, rotary file).

Anyone have some free time (and tools) to give me a hand? I'm more than happy to supply the beer, and I have all the ratchets and wrenches.

FYI, here's the install guide: http://www.orfab.com/instructions/85207.pdf

i thought you weren't interested in any DIY install, thought you were just taking it in for someone else... Glad you changed your mind. If I had any of the tools you needed I would gladly volunteer.

Who me? The only thing I haven't self installed is the lift kit/tires, too many tools (jack stands, coil compressors, etc) I would have had to buy, and wasn't worth the safety risk for a noob install. (Hell, I wasn't even aware of the pattern for tightening lug nuts).

Went out and bought a right angle drill, 1" hole saw ($70 for a unibit?! wtf.) and a few other things, will probably work on it Sunday.

It's just one of those things that isn't fun doing yourself, esp since step 2 is to remove the rear brake lights, which means at any point after that I'm screwed if I realize I need something else.

You bought a right angle drill? Cool, now I know where to borrow one from. :D

I'd give you a hand, but after building a truck for 4 months, I really have to do some stuff around the house before the missus kills me.

Unless you want to take adrive to Renfrew and do it at my place. I'd be glad to help.

I have no problems heading out to the 'frew, grew up there after all :) Are you going to be at the meeting or twist off? Maybe plan something then.
