I know that I can have the system installed for me. BUT, how long does it take to install if I do it myself? AND can I do it?

Many variables affect installation time -- type of vehicle (or engine), the skill and/or the experience of an installer, space available, method of installation, wheither or not accessories/add-ons are also installed, and if parts will have to be fabricated. However, the table below shows some typical times/costs (including bracket fabricate where needed) for professionally done, first-time, welder-only installations.

* NOTE: Often value added resellers include the price of installation in their selling price.

You are best qualified to determine if you have the ability to do an installation yourself. Most of our commercial clients have skilled maintenance personnel who are well able to perform the simple tasks involved. However, we recommend that do-it-yourself installation should only be attempted by individuals who are both skilled in the use of power tools and who are familiar with the electrical and mechanical systems of the vehicle in which the welding system is to be installed.

One of the best ways to make this decision is to look at the many installation photos in our web site pages and in our printed installation materials (available to you free of charge in printed form or as downloadable Adobe Acrobat .pdf files --> go here to order/download these materials)
