    I really, really like it! I would maybe tweak a few things just to my liking because I'm weird (like a steady burn to the front and what not) but it's darn near perfect from the video.

    thats the unfinished product. I dont know anything about wireing but its now all tucked away neatly, I sent this installer alot of work over the past year or so. He dident charge me a Penny. All it costed me was tipping his guys a couple bucks.

    I'm usually not a pessimist but something tells me he really didnt clean up the wires if they are already taped and whatnot in that photo.Jeep looks great. I got got a Laredo 4x4 last week. Looking at yalls for ideas but wont have near as much since I won't be using to run hot, just for on scene and approaching it. 2 dual vipers rear glass, 2 SOS undercover RW BW reverse, 2 red vertex reverse or brake, 1 R and 1 B SOS XP 63 rear sides, 1 dual viper RB RVM, HLF, 2 BW RW SOS undercovers fogs, something else in the grille (i do not know since there isn't much to mount stuff to) and 1 ES100 controlled by a SS2000SM. I have two white vertex that I am not sure what to do with. Thought about something in the side mirror region for intersections but don't know.

    If this install is "not overkill like yours," then I'd hate to see what yours looks like! All the lights look well installed, but there are A LOT of them on the front.

    I would slow some of the patterns down. I am not a fan of close up night videos. Everything (most everything) looks bright at night and so close up its just a blurr. Just my .02.

    Well you got your moneys worth. From what I see there is power tapped and split 3 ways and wrapped with electrical tape, No fuses on any of the relays. There sure is alot of electrical tape So what kind of warrantee do you get with this? Is this the same guy who was using shelving and pipe strap to mount his lights and speakers?

    I agree with slowing the patterns down on the dual Avengers but they are non sync, and i dont want em 2 go off pattern so just made em the fastest. and yes ends up looking like a big blurr. Regarding slowing the slimlighter yes I agree should be slowed aswell but havent got around to it yet. the slimlighter also gives alot of flash back. but the avengers with the shields almost none. next time me and yakomo meet up during the day well get a day time vid. Thanks for your comments.

    Its possible that he dident clean up the wires, but havent had any problems and the car is a lease so... dont know what im gonna do when i give back the car cause the headliner looks like swiss cheese with the 4 holes but ill figure something out. Happy to hear you got a Jeep GC its really an improved vehicle and i think you will really like it, only issue is gas mileage. but im coming from a 4cyl honda civic (hence my user name) so it may not be as bad as im making it sound.

    Best of luck on ur new Jeep and cant wait to see pics of the finished product.

    I have the V6 but I still am not worried about gas mileage. With my larger tires and wheels and lift coming tomorrow...I accepted that gas mileage won't be outstanding.

    Not sure how he did the wires, and yes I am well aware of how much tape he uses lol, he is known for great customer service and will warantee all of his work. The many people that used him ever had any issues with him regarding warranties or price.From what I hear alot of people use that pipe strap. I believe he used it for the M6s, not the speakers though.

    I think so, but everybody has their own opinions. it is a stutter tone, and is plenty loud. I love it when some douch sees the jeep and makes nasty comments i just tell em " u gotta see something, look into the grill" and i lay that horn on em!! sends em into svt lol

    Ill wor on getting a vid for ya with my car and yakomos, and well do a comparison he has the Grover 1510, and both our horns are mounted in the same place
