Default ORFab Tire Carrier arrives 2morrow!

I finally bit the bullet and got the ORFab tire carrier.

Would anyone be available to install this carrier for some $$? I just don't have the courage or the equipment to drill holes into the body.

Please PM me if you are interested; I'm looking to get this installed this weekend if possible.

I'm not around this weekend and I really don't want to install a third one of these. However I could loan you my tools. The only semi unusual tools are a right angle drill (mine is a cheap air one from Harbor Freight), a 1 inch hole saw, and a 13 mm offset box wrench (Harbor Freight's version does not work due to its metal thickness, I have Craftsman).

If you need any tips about the install just let me know.

SUNFLOWER ADMINISTRATIVE SITE FLOOD PROTECTION VOLUNTEER PROJECT
Date: June 16 and 17, 2012
Time: 7AM Start (9AM for those who arrive late)
Location: Sunflower Administrative Site. The Sunflower area is 21 miles south of Payson and 34 miles north of Phoenix metropolitan. The project site is accessible by passenger vehicle.
What: There is unprecedented flooding potential in the area because of the recent Sunflower fire which burned almost 20,000 acres. The forest is seeking hundreds of volunteers to fill and place up to 25,000 sand bags in and around the Forest Service Sunflower Administrative Site, which has cultural and historic significance, and is a treasured memory for many forest visitors. The Sunflower Administrative Site is a collection of historic buildings and structures that once served as the Forest Ranger District office and work center back in the early 1900’s.
Number of volunteers needed: 100+ volunteers each day
Who: Anyone that would like to help that is 16 years or older
What to Bring: Wear gloves, closed-toe shoes, wear sun protection (hat, long sleeve, sun screen), bring water and snacks. Lunch will be provided.
Directions: From Phoenix, take the Beeline highway (87) north toward Payson. Just past mile marker 222 is a sign for the Sycamore exit to the left and Mt. Ord exit to the right. Take the turn to the left
Just a reminder. If anyone wants to help out this Saturday and meet to go up together, post up or send me a PM. Thanks.

It actually pulled really good this was first time with 5.13. I was able to maintain 70 on freeway with o/d and minimal downshifting. The boat is a heavier wake boarding one at 4300lbs. Pulled it out the ramp with ease. I wouldn't pull it to Powell but pleasant is was definitely fine. The trans got up to 185 temp wise so not too bad.
