Truck looks good! I would just suggest that you remove the self-resetting circuit breakers. The Whelen install guides specifically state to only fuse their products.

Just a word of advice, If you program the cencom while the Wecan modual is still powered you will have to reprogram the Wecan again. I did the same with with my cencom and Everytime I programed the cencom the wecan stopped working until I had to reprogram the modual. Just some things I ran into.

Those MR11 TDs just dont look right in there, It lookes like you have had at least another LED in there.

That looks nice! Cool

Not trying to hijack, but what is the width of your Dodge's cab (where the bar is mounted?)

Brewmeister-
The bar is a 50" which I believe means its 48.5" or something like that, and the roof is about 49". It fits very well. Its mounted right at the B pillar.

ffjwhite-
Thanks for the tip, I did not know that. I dont see me reprogramming the cencom, there isnt much else to do, unless I add headlight flashers or something.

Dawson-
I am not a fan of the pattern either. I have posted a thread elsewhere asking to trade wecan files (.wlb) with people so I can get a better one out there and see what everyone else out there uses. This was just what we made at the shop real quick to get it working. In fact, today I plan on making another pattern.

I also and not a huge fan of the MR11's as TD's. Wonder what I can do to change that? I spent a bit already so this would have to wait. I could of course sell the MR11's, depending on what they would be worth.

Actually, the length is considered a 49" and is actually 48.5

The 9M, 9U, and Freedom are 50" (standard model size).

Whelen makes Super LED Takedowns... Judging from some of the vids on here and Sirennet, they look wicked! Where abouts in Macomb are you? I am your neighbor to the West in Oakland County (Oakland Township to be more specific)

The Missouri State Highway Patrol has the MR11's in there bars and you can put 2 more heads in there. I think MSHP have corner/led/led/mr11/center led/mr11/led/led/corner.

not bad at all. as for mounting the cencom right to floor. i would have made a riser out of plywood and carpeted it. to keep moisture out also. inside of the inline fuses gone with a big breaker and sub panel
