grrr...wtb raptors stink

i have spent about the last two hours trying to get my wtb moto raptos onto my new sun rhyno lite rims. i have no idea what to try now. i just cant seem to get the last bit of the tires on. i pinch flatted one of my tubes now and want to throw my wheels out the window. i have tried soap etc.. trying to get them onto the rim. i really don't want to pay $$$ to have someone install them either. any ideas? nothing i have read so far seems to be working to any degree. they are 26x2.4 and seem to hate me. i have never had this much trouble installing a tire before. usually i do it all without levers. i think i need a vise and a pneumatic pump to get them over the rims. i am already dreading having to fix flats.
