For those of you who have read my previous threads. I am in the process of installing a bearcat 980 in my 2012 gmc canyon.
I wanted to post an up date. This past weekend I installed the radio and power source. I have yet to install the antenna (waiting for a day off, plus researching options). The installation looks good and the voltage looks fine. I will post pictures later on today.
Back to the antenna. I am contemplating a roof install. I currently have all the parts (larsen nmo mount, larsen nmo27, and a bracket just in case). The local shop that quoted me $50 originally now says that the $50 is without the labor change. Plus they are backed up for a few months. So I am now looking at either doing the roof installation my self or just using my fender bracket for now.
I have a crew cab so the dome light is probably centered. Should I attempt it myself?
One other option is, I see a guy in the next neighborhood has a van in his driveway for a wireless communications company. Do you think it would be out of place to ask if he could do the work on the side, being it is a company vehicle. How much should I offer to pay?
Also I don't know if he has no experience with vehicle installs. I don't want him to just say yes and mess something up.
