Re: How many man hours for kp notch for 72?

man i am installing one right now, it takes longer to remove all the damn crossmembers in your way then anything. i even have a plasma and it is taken a while. it really depends on if you want it smooth or not also. you have to trim the top cap and lower bottom plate to get a smooth look. from start to finish i will have about 10 hours in mine. thats with the bag brackets mounted and shocks.

Probably not. It will likely make it more complicated, depending on how your current notch is installed...

Re: How many man hours for kp notch for 72?

Let us know what you come up with time frame and some tips for anyone looking to do it in the future. I know I've personally installed tons of notchs so it's a simple procedure for me to perform based on experience. I would say that 5-6 hours for an average individual would be realistic.

Keep up informed.

Thanks.
