Looks great! I like the rear lights, and the custom cabinets.

thank you, i built it all. first one so could be better but it serves the purpose.

Those rear lights are outstanding! Great idea. Would you be able to do any arrow functions w/ the amber?

dcarrfire45 · Mar 29, 2012

thank you, if i got a traffic advisor controller i could wire it up to do it. was a thought of mine to do. they are simple steady burn light heads so simple rewire could be done.

That is an awesome set up in general, but especially the rear. Great job.

tsquale · Mar 29, 2012

Very sharp looking ride! The rear 400s look great! :hail:

Wow awesome job!

spc2315 · Mar 29, 2012

Looks sick. I really like the 400s in the rear. My only suggestion is put leds in the rear instead of strobes but other than that awesome install!

dcarrfire45 · Mar 29, 2012

thanks guys. i had the haw's kicking around so i threw em in. laws will be a future upgrade. was about to try to flush mount some tir3's into the back of the reverse lights but the size isnt right.

NFD-102 · Mar 29, 2012

were you at the national fire academy last weekend because I saw a vehicle just like that. I love those 400's in the back. M4's and 400's are my favorite lightheads, it looks awesome.

dcarrfire45 · Mar 29, 2012

yes i was lol.

firedude · Mar 29, 2012

Very nice! :thumbsup:

Luismariadarlene · Mar 29, 2012

very nice i like the color of your truck.

VTfireftr · Mar 30, 2012

Very nice.

I would like to put a cbinet in my 2008, but I can't becuse there would be no room for my 3 dogs.

As per the hide aways, I prefer strobes over LED's. I strobed out my back up, and brake lights. Seperate circuits for each. Very effective and I don't have to use the clears at night.

Say hi to Jackie at the Speedway.

I really like it. Love the D8 in the grill.

cbpdogboy · Mar 30, 2012

Have you thought about using a headlight flasher to alternate the off road lights with the headlights...maybe an x pattern?

the off road lights are hid's so they dont come on instantly and the controllers wouldnt like that either. also we are not allowed to have white flashing lights here. but i did think of doing that with the fog lights

Nice Set up! Looks good!

RobK · Mar 31, 2012

Wow, I can't believe I haven't seen that vehicle on the road. I'll be on the lookout now.

Crystal Lake in the background?

Nice work!

Ah, ok. Like I said, surprised I haven't seen you.

Again, nice work on the install. Don't remember seeing how you control everything.

Have you thought about surfacing mounting anything on your mirrors? A pimp pod or something else with say, 4 or more LEDs? Maybe even linz6?

dcarrfire45 · Apr 2, 2012

i have a havis console with the 7 switch plate. i thought about doing something flush mount on the mirrors but the wife is saying i have enough lights :hopeless: but im always watching for deals on that auction site.

MEVS06 · Apr 2, 2012

that is a sweet looking expo

Storm4200 · Apr 2, 2012

i have a whelen LED Traffic Advisor control box that i could let go. then you could flip over the two center heads and use the entire top row as an amber traffic advisor. you could keep the blues hooked to the flasher your using now

i can do that lol

dcarrfire45 · Apr 3, 2012

i made this from a console out of a crown vic to mimic the available ones for my truck. free vs $300 usually wins lol

237 · Apr 3, 2012

Thanks dude... I'm gonna need an armrest I know it.

VTfireftr · Apr 4, 2012

The armrest is well worth the money.

The Havis console sits about 4 inches lower than the OEM console lid. You don't realize how much you rest your arm on the console lid until it's no longer there.

I regualrly see used arm rest on ebay.

Gorgeous and the cabinets in the back are amazing. My only tish with it is you might want to speed up the bar in your grill just a smidge. Not much, just a smidge. That's just my opinion. You don't want them too fast but you dont want them too slow either, and that bar looks a tad tad slow.
