Well Sir, there is no given time for the install of a Ready Brake. Different toads, with different engine bay configurations, different firewalls, different grills and bumpers all present different problems. Just because someone installs it in two hours, does not mean that it should take the same exact amount of time in many other toads.
Some of the time frame depends on the level of expertise of the installer. Some may be more competent than others which, would mean maybe a bit faster install. Some may take a bit more time, to do a really good and efficient job.
I've done a few of them and, there is sometimes, a stumbling block that pops up that you didn't plan for. Should your install take the amount of time your installer quoted you, well, most likely not. But then again, I'm not there looking at your particular vehicle to see what kinds of obstacles I might encounter which, might lead to more time. Good luck.
