Watch a quick installation video by N3DCJ

View this slide show presentation of the Tilt-N-Raise being installed in the back of our Chevy Blazer along with a support mast and vertical antenna. The aluminum support mast (not included with purchase) was chosen for our demonstration because it was short enough to allow the whole installation to be captured in the pictures.
