i will love to get a set installed. it's not hard, like hammer said, the hardest part is drilling the first hole. what you need to do is mark first where you want them and then use a center punch to mark and ding the place so that the drill bit don't jump around and make the hole easier. that way you don't have to get the roof painted after the drill bit scratched it. good luck... get a lot of pics start to finish!!!!

Yeah i remember the first day i drilled into my truck, it was kind of like the measure twice, cut once. But it was like measure 10 times drill once! Haha. But i never drilled into the body, only inside and in bed for my headache rack to bolt on.

I've been trying to figure out a way to put these in and hide the wires withour drilling holes. im thinking that if i use good quality tape they would stick. the trick is getting the wires into the cab. there is a plug in the passenger pill i believe i read that in a pose about adding overhead console.
