Here is the completed job. I used a 2" hole saw and a grinder with a cutting wheel to make the cut-outs. This is definately a step where the old rule, "Measure twice, cut once" applies. There are other ways to cut the bumper, but those were the best tools I had for the job. Measuring and marking took about 30 minutes, cutting took ten minutes. It's hard to see in the pictures, but the driver's side of the bumper has a small amount of previous damage from a fender bender so the bumper work was a little more difficult on my truck than it would be on a perfectly straight bumper.

I also chose not to re-install the plastic spoiler since, they have gotten torn off of every truck I've ever owned while off roading. It would have been very simple to modify and re-install though.
