Setup updated, all Whelen LEDs (minus the China bar that is only on the truck about 7 days a year at the max).

Not yet, already asked my brother to make one. I can do pics, but I suck at vids and uploading them. They're on the way.

A few vids w/o the LB on. Truck was in my garage, so no distance vids.

Front was in direct sunlight, so the LAWs didn't show up the best. Think I'm going to try remounting them vertically as instructed rather then horizontally.

Rear/Side

Would you see the TIR3 in the grille better if they were placed in a lower position? Other than that great install.

It's how I wanted them, just under the top so they were camoflaged in the chrome. You can still see them great when on. The vid was done really close. From a distance, they showup better.

I still have my console from my 1997 Suburban if you need something for that truck. It uses the seat bolts. You just need to remove the factory console which is only a couple of screws. I even have the storage pocket for it.

If you want, I can dig up some pics of what it looked like installed later tonight. http://www.elightbars.org/bb/post50409.html

I also cleaned up the boxes so they look much nicer. I would recommend the 17 console (which is what I last used in my burb).

My only other suggestion would be to find a 314P speaker. It fits nice and snug behind the grille (at least a Chevy one). At least that way the sound has a straight shot out.

Everything is remote mounted and the wife forbade anything be done with the factory console. Like it as is.

As far as the speakers, might do something different in the future, but the woo-woo doesn't get used all that often, so it works for now. Lights mainly used for traffic control for my vollie stuff.

Yeah...just rather see the stuff go into another truck than to trash it kind of thing. All my stuff was remote mounted as well, but the heads were obviously in the console with the other toys.

(5 radios all high power, ISP188, BL627, computer, etc). Its amazing what you can fit under the front and 2nd row seats...though tight at time.

I am guessing you don't have rear air controls, as the SS is mounted there Wink

Remounted the LAWs in the front. They're now vertically mounted on the bottom of the housing facing the front. Much better. Very Happy

Several feet in front of truck.

From across the street (and off to the side, didn't want the mailbox to block anything). Yeah, not the best, I know.

Closeup with the garage door closed to show off axis and light spread. Didn't video it, but the passneger side light was throwing light all the way over to the edge of the 3rd stall.

[quote:f6cee539f9=\"rwo978\"][quote:f6cee539f9=\"jantman\"]Nice. I'm not crazy about the switches either, they're a lot like my last truck, never cared for it much, but it's a lot simpler than big switches (and rectangular cutouts - eek!).

Where did you get the \"Chinese\" bar, and do you like it? I'm not interested immediately, but was thinking it might be nice to look into...


That response was in response to my previous pictures of my old switchbox. The little box is harder to get at, but I usually turn on what I want/need ahead of time, then use the HHS2100.

Just searched on the internet for a while until I found the best deal. There's a hundred places to get them from. I don't need an expensive LB cuz it's rarely on there, but wanted LED, so this fit.

Thing I don't like is they're advertised as all Gen 3, but mine had 8 Gen 3 modules (blue) and 8 Gen 2 modules (4 blue, 4 amber). The Gen 3 modules wouldn't even fit in the corners without a lot of cutting on the brackets, so I doubt any of thse type bars are all \"Gen 3\". Also, the flasher that came with it is not scan lock, so it resets to the original pattern every time. If you're interested, seriously look at rewiring it for a different flasher. Other than that, after getting it all wired up, it gets the job done.


Those lightbars can come with all GEN 3 1 watt or .5 watt if you order them that way. The manufacturer (the one I used to deal with) has brackets specifically for the corners mounts. The old style flasher was just a two pattern flasher that automatically scanned between the two. The newer 12 pattern flasher does not scan lock and i was not impressed with the patterns anyway. I have rewired about 50 of those bars in the last two years with SHO-ME flashers of diffrent styles. Always works better. My current \"China Bar\" or what many call the Verve, was ordered straight from the manufacturer with ALL GEN 3 1 WATT Leds. They do make your eyes hurt! Back to top    URL

Changed some stuff up. Had to lose the Sound Off LAWs, couldn't get the rears to work right in the housings. Went with the Vertexs, wanted all 4 to sync. Front clears are OK, really impressed with the rear reds.

Added TIR3s to the side of the front LP bracket. Rear LP bracket now has TIR3s w/ vertical optics.

Cleaned up/loomed all wiring in the rear area and front speaker area.
