I need to have my new CB wired in and I am not very good with electrical. I'm sure its easy, but I am still hesitant because I don't know what I am doing.
I have it all mounted and the cable is ran, I just need it powered up.
You provide the electrical knowledge, and I will provide the beer!
Thanks
Beer!?! Ish thish a trick queshion!?!
No its not! If you know how to do it, I'll grab a 6 pack and head your way.Quote:

I think its worth mentioning to that I am pretty anal, and I dont want anything hacked up, and want a clean job.

Leif,
Give me a call if you cant find anybody by Friday, I'll swing by and hook it up. [Beer]
Thanks for all the offers everyone!! I am gonna play around with it during the week and see if I can figure anything out. This is the vehicle that the wife drives, so I only have limited access to it during the week.
Thanks again everyone, and I will be in touch with someone I'm guessing!!
