    Positive Transaction with Maddux31

    Maddux had a single talon shield that I was looking for. Shipped it same day with a tracking number. I'd certainly deal with him again!

    Thank you sir. That will at least give me a place to start. Hopefully it's just the ground

    Scanner Issue

    Okay, experts. I am stumped: I have had a BCT15X scanner in my Ford Escape for years with no issues. It was mounted in a Havis console, hard-wired, and the antenna was a multi-band scanner antenna mounted on the drivers front fender due to height restrictions in my garage. Recently, I...

    Positive Purchase from scruffythewild

    Purchased a scanner from scruffythewild. Everything went great; shipping was done in a timely manner, product was well packaged, and I was given a tracking number. I would certainly do business again.

    Positive Purchase from tsquale

    I purchased a whelen talon. Item was shipped in a timely manner and I was given a tracking number. It was packaged better than some new items I have purchased directly from various websites: bubble wrap, air-filled packing pillows, the whole nine yards. Bottom line: I would not hesitate to do...

    2016 Chevy Colorado G.E. Aviation Supervisor Vehicle Install

    I like it! However, I would change the front lights so that when the driver's side pb light flashes red, the light on the driver's side lower bumper flashes red as well (and do the same for the passenger side as well of course). Otherwise, I think it's a solid set up.

    2015 Dodge Charger (Slicktop) / Pawnee County Sheriff's Office

    I like it, but I would alternate the intersector and the side nForce since those are your only two side lights. I'm also not a fan of the graphics, but everything else looks good to me.

    2010 Ford Escape

    You did! I was heading westbound and saw two vehicles stopped with damage on the one and was thinking two-vehicle MVA. Just stopped until they at least had someone there. Haha

    2010 Ford Escape

    The Escape grille is one of the least install-friendly grilles I have worked on as far as mounting of lights go. Just one more reason to look into the grille guard. As for the slow patterns, I certainly wanted them to be effective and not simply "cool looking". Haha

    2010 Ford Escape

    Like you guys, I too want a set of grille lights. However, the biggest issue in this grille is mounting them. I'm not sure how I'd do it. Anything mounted behind the grille would suffer from extreme light output reduction. I have considered a grille guard for both emergency lights and off road...

    2010 Ford Escape

    I haven't had any problems. They are allowed under 625 ILCS 5/12-215 (c-1). I specifically checked before buying and installing it. Haha

    2010 Ford Escape

    After having this vehicle for a couple of years, I finally took the time to grab pictures and videos for the site. I am a volunteer EMT and a volunteer firefighter in IL (a courtesy light state). The last I knew (about 3 years ago), our fire district was the largest rural district in IL in...

    Lots of new Whelen stuff for sale

    The single avengers in blue (item #6): 1) Do these have a cigarette cord, or are they hardwire versions? 2) Are they the sync models? 3) What mounting hardware is included?

    Sorry I've been away for a couple days. Between work and the calls I've been on, accessing a computer just hasn't been happening. lol. But once again, I appreciate the suggestions. With the advice I have received both on here and locally, I am probably going to go with: (2) larger grill...

    Help outfitting a 2003 Ford Ranger

    Thanks for all the suggestions on the halogen mini-bars. If I were to go that route, I'd definitely permanent mount it. The last thing I want is to get half-way to the scene and lose the bar. :o Eric1249, I do not have a pic of it handy, but it's pretty much stock: no brush guard. I might...

    Help outfitting a 2003 Ford Ranger

    After looking up the law, foxtrot is right. At one time, both could be used. However, the law has changed in the mean time. So amber is a definite no-go.
