Default Shotgun Shock install
For those of you who have installed the shotgun shock, roughly how long did it take?

Also, is it that hard to do yourself?

JD installed mine in about 1.5 hours. He told me the install could have been done in less; however, a couple of potential customers were receiving some instruction and I was taking photos as well. A few of which are in my forum photo albums.


There would have probably been a much faster response if the question would have been posted on the Lo thread.
