2010 Jeep Patriot FF/EMT POV -Closed-

[TritonBoulder47]

You could always cram 8 rotators in that bad boy...  Just Sayin...  lol

 

[7d9_z28]

Rotator MX is a win, you just need to make the arrow out of CON3, do some crazy LED mounted to sweeps, and put lifetime bars in the front for takedown. Also 100w+ bulbs in the rotators when possible.

100w H1 bulbs in Highlighter rotators kick ass, fwiw.

I know first hand how awesome a Patriot looks with a MX on it, I miss that truck

MX bar looks good up there. I prefer rotators over LED, but in the end that choice is yours.

Like I said, dont have to sell me on how awesome rotators are. I love em. If not for the interstate travel it wouldnt even be a question. Last thing I need is to get popped on the side of the highway by a Trooper with a bug up his ass, next thing yoj know hes having me pull it from the roof.

Dont think Im doing sweeps either, want the room for alley lights

 

[7d9_z28]

I put extra light on the ends onmy MX (next to the alley light) and till ran sweeps

 

[SBFD-E-9]

Just an idea, but you could have rotators up top with LEDs on the bottom and get a set of junk domes and paint them black, throw those on if your going out of the area. It would look better than the OOS covers.

I'm not gonna lie, but I'm not a huge fan of the front flash patterns...I think they should be faster, and (although people usually think more sync is needed) I personally think that it's unnecessary to have everything synced together (ie I'd have the grill lights flash together, have the clear LAWs alternating in a typical HAW/LAW pattern, and I'd have the dash light on any fast pattern), but that's just me.


I'm excited to see a valor on it, though

actually i wasnt a huge fan of all 6 sync'd either, so i moved the dashmiser and swapped it for a slimlighter. Have no fear, its all about to get changed, major progess was made today, the Valor's mounted, now running the wires. Stay tuned :thumbsup:

You know the rule...  Pics/Vids or it didn't happen...  lol  

 

[pdk9]

Valor looks good. I don't think the rear needs the slimlighter (since it's right beneath the valor), so i personally would move it to the lower dash b/c I like having a combo of dash, grill lights, & lightbar


Is it all blue with flood override up front and Amber TA to the rear, or just single color blue front and Amber rear?

 

[TritonBoulder47]

Damnit man!!!  That looks good...  Now, I'm jealous...  (Or am I...?  lol)

the slimlighters only there for now. its a MA spec'd bar, meaning it has a red head to the rear, a big no no for PA. So I have the rear cut-off enabled, which is why you dont see any blue flashing to the rear of the bar in the videos. Worse is you can just pull one head, you have to pull an entire quadrant. So when I have some down time Ill be pulling it and sending it to Wilson.

I briefly left the slimlighter above the RVM to see how it looked, it was overkill, and down below it looked out of place.


As for your question; Its dual blue/white to the front. And dual blue/amber to the rear.

Damnit man!!! That looks good... Now, I'm jealous... (Or am I...? lol)

you are, dont lie

Man, this sounds so familiar...  lol

Ha!

 

[Storm4200]

This looks great!

 

[Phoenix_Rising]

Bit of an update today: the Galls XL400 I'd been using went to the wayside, as I upgraded to a Federal Signal SS2000SM.


HUGE shoutout to Storm4200, couldnt have installed that thing without his help today :thumbsup:

 

[Storm4200]

Let's see an updated video

 

[Chris W]

The flashing TD/ALLEY are extremely attention grabbing.

 

[CACBAND]

Why not use the flashing white?

 

[tsquale]

Why not use the flashing white?

I don't know that PA allows it. Or maybe his department doesn't. 

 

[Phoenix_Rising]

Correct, PA doesnt allow flashing white for FF's

 

[TritonBoulder47]

Damn...  I like that pattern you're using...  I may have to change one of mine to that...  lol

Looking good man...

 

[Storm4200]

Damn... I like that pattern you're using... I may have to change one of mine to that... lol


Looking good man...

My favorite pattern

 

[TritonBoulder47]

My favorite pattern

I may have to do some adjusting tomorrow (later today)...  lol

 

[pdk9]

But you already have clear LAWs in the fogs, so why you holding back on the clear now?

those cannons can go to amber. again, i only hooked up the white for on those for lack of a better use for them

 

[JazzDad]

Wait a second!  You have a Valor bar, and you use the Knight Rider pattern?

 

[Phoenix_Rising]

Wait a second! You have a Valor bar, and you use the Knight Rider pattern?

well, it didnt have a "Batman" pattern....

 

[TritonBoulder47]

No, this is the "Knight Rider" pattern...  lol

[JazzDad]

I hadn't seen the show in so long, I had forgotten what the pattern actually looked like.

[Phoenix_Rising]
