1987 AM General HMMWV - Tracy Police Department

Updated: Paint has been touched up and graphics are installed. I haven't been able to get my own pictures, but the PD posted pictures today on their Facebook page. The link is the "H1" album. The graphics are visible towards the end, but I figured some of you would like to see the whole process.

This weekend, we finished up the installation of lights and other accessories into my hometown's HMMWV. I know that split fail is committed with the rear lights and they don't sync with the other lights, but they were donated, so we went with it.


For reference, donated or reused equipment is marked with a *

All I will say is SHAWING.

 

[twodogs603]

Does that vehicle run on a 12v or 24v system?

 

[Eric1249]

Thats sweet

 

[sgzwach]

The vehicle is 24v, the accessories run off of the battery equalizer. Most of the time, when running, we get about 13.6 volts to the accessories.

 

[StEaLtH2]

I Liiiikkkeee it... Looks good :thumbsup: the rear isn't that bad.. :-x

 

[pdk9]

very nice! i love how all the ions & libby have a clean, sync-ed look with a good flash pattern.


as for the SNM's to the rear, it's not a big deal at all, because all the rear surface mounts are properly sync-ed together, so it doesn't both me one bit if they are not sync-ed with the front or the sides.


any idea how much they got the '87 AM for?

 

[acala91]

Great setup with awesome flash patterns. Love it.

 

[eng18ine]

the rear looks just fine with the split fails. there on a slow consise pattern so they are perfectly find. very clean. great job

 

[EVT]

What is the purpose of this thing? Is Tracy PD on some kind of joint SWAT team or something?

 

[sgzwach]

That was our goal, the right pattern to get the point across, we're moving traffic, not causing seizures For the how much question, my understanding is that the vehicle was free. We received two of them from the Department of Defense through a program, the name of which is failing me now...

 

[Hoser]

Nice job, pic's with graphics would be cool.

 

[sgzwach]

I don't know of any joint SWAT affiliation, I believe the main purpose is to not have the other squads out and about during bad weather and for PR. For now, I'm just the wiring guy.


EDIT: I forgot to mention search and rescue also.

[LTSQUIRREL]

Divide got a few of them also. Mostly to be used in bad weather, search and rescue, etc.. they haven't been touched in months, however.

 

[vonirkinshtine]

DON'T PUT GRAPHICS ON IT! That thing looks PERFECT the way it is right now.

 

[mdlighting]

Like everyone else it looks great and the split fail in the rear doesn't look bad. I only have one suggestion switch one red and one blue in the front and make it flash all red then all blue to match the light bar. But it's up to you I like it either way

They are acquired through the Governments 1033 program which is used to supply military surplus vehicles and equipment. The Humvees are free but are technically on loan and can be recalled. I administer the program for my municipality. We recently got a 2001 Humvee with 500 miles only problem is that ours has a turret and it leaks. Ours are for high water rescue and beach patrol, definitely not SWAT use. Ours is being painted and upfit as we speak, we will be using lights removed from vehicles killed by Sandy.

What kind of battery equalizer did you use?

 

[sgzwach]

What kind of battery equalizer did you use?

We used a Sure Power 52210.

The Rigids do rock. I happened to take a semi-artistic photo of them

 

[JazzDad]

Beautiful rig. One minor suggestion pertaining to the video: boast the volume on the background rock music.

 

[dwk270]

Looks great. I wouldn't mind having that as my staff truck to run around in.

[ISU_Cyclone]

Love it. I've had a 1/18 model that looks identical to this Humvee since I was little.

 

[MEVS06]

ooooooohhh theyre D2's!! verrrrry nice!!

Looks great. I just wired in a HLF to my D2's last night, Ford-Dealer hooked me up with a SOS flasher and I just couldnt wait to get it installed.

 

[RescueWV]

Gorgeous. Love the silver paint job. Makes that hulk of a truck seem classy.

 

[Storm4200]

I have my duallys hooked to a whelen HLF myself. Wow is all I can say

 

[sgzwach]

Looks great. I just wired in a HLF to my D2's last night, Ford-Dealer hooked me up with a SOS flasher and I just couldnt wait to get it installed.

I told the chief that we could do that, I have multiple flashers laying around, but he thought it might be a bit much

 

[HFD eng1ine]

6.5 turbo diesel?

 

[sgzwach]

6.5 turbo diesel?

Negative. 6.2 w/o turbo. It'll get you through about anything, just not very quickly haha

 

[NJfireguy9094]

what is this used for ?

theyre so bright i only use them about 10% of the time

 

[sgzwach]

That's what he decided. We took it for a spin through town quick after the lighting was done to show the officers and I flipped on the D2s on a side street. It went from dark to daylight really fast

 

[fleetcomm]

It looks great. Great job.
