WSGJ850 Posted Sunday at 11:24 PM Author Report Posted Sunday at 11:24 PM I just installed a dual band Alinco DR-735T, in the Ford Police Interceptor. I used a Bulletpoint mounting system, which greatly speed up the install. On the roof, I installed a small 3" stubby antenna. I was able to hit our local repeater with a strong signal, about 35 miles away. Quite a lengthy install. Took the headliner down and dismantled the center console to run wires. Not my first install, by any means, but still quite a process to get it to the factory look. SteveShannon 1
SteveShannon Posted Monday at 02:27 AM Report Posted Monday at 02:27 AM Yeah, when the temperature gets higher I hope to do my truck and 4Runner but the headliner is the thing that intimidates me. I haven’t done that before.
WSGJ850 Posted yesterday at 01:37 PM Author Report Posted yesterday at 01:37 PM This was my first headliner. I found a guy on youtube who "de-policify's" (his term) interceptors. I've spoken with him on the phone and that really boosted my confidence. I used to install radios, C.B.'s, etc, back in the 70's and 80's, and it was a totally different animal back then. Now, the headliner is one piece and solid, instead of a glued on fabric. Just had to remove the pillar coverings, which are snapped in, and the whole thing just fell down! Easy peasy. SteveShannon 1

If you're planning on doing this in the spring or summer, I wouldn't mind taking a ride over and giving you a hand. SteveShannon 1

I might even take you up on it! Thanks!
