2003 Ford F350 updated - video added

[167]

This is my daily rider - 2003 Ford F350.


Has:


4" lift


Nova Bull 3 light dashlight something or other. RCR w/ one red steady burn.


Whelen D8P behind grill. CRRRRRRC - random flash patterns


(6) TIR3's rear facing in the gap between the bottom of the tail gate and the top of the bumper - all red.


(2) LINZ6's on rear license plate bracket - amber.


(2) LINZ6's - one on each side below the passenger doors mounted to the body.


(2) Unity spotlights


(1) Whelen 100W speaker


(1) Whelen WS224 siren


(1) Federal Signal SW300 switch box


Am looking at getting a new front bumper so I will do something different with the siren speaker then.

And like the old board, the pictures do not link right with photobucket. I do not have the patience to try and fix it, so you see whatever you see.


Edit - it seems to have corrected itself. Time will tell.

 

[Dsycutter]

Looks great!

 

[Scoops]

Wow, nice truck and good install.

 

[Ryan Turner]

Aww man, I miss your mars 888! Good setup, none the less. When'd you get the spotlights?

 

[Luismariadarlene]

That's a very nice pickup looks good

 

[TritonBoulder47]

I'm not too crazy about the speaker placement, but great install non-the-less!!!

 

[kadetklapp]

Sweet truck. Like the lift on the dually!

 

[medicandy]

Very nice truck I like it a lot.

Found you old thread and merged the two. I thought people would like to see what it looked like before the changes.

 

[RL1]

Really like the TIR3's on the grill guard!

 

[iCrash]

needs bigger tires!!!!

 

[FreshDave04]

needs bigger tires!!!!

+1

 

[FDNY 10-75]

Nice, what is it used for (FD, LEO?). I agree that you should a bigger set of knobby tires for an even sharper look.

 

[167]

Used for volunteer fire department response.


As far as the bigger tires go, I agree. However when I do it, I am going to go to 19.5" or 22" wheels so I have more tire options. Right now, I don't have an extra $5000 laying around to do it.


If you would really, really like to see it though, send payments through Paypal to:

Nice, what is it used for (FD, LEO?).

+1. i'm guessing VFD (since red isn't a something you see very often w/ LEO) and that the unity lights are for work scene lighting and not for takedown-purposes on V&T's, but then again i could be wrong.


looks like a bad-a$$ truck though

 

[167]

The soptlights are primary for viewing deer with my 5 year old son on 1200 acres I have access to.

 

[167]

Addition of PIAA 540 fog lights. Now I am done.

 

[hawkspringsfire]

Can you take close up of how you mounted the Dominator on the top of the push bumper? I might have to try it.

 

[167]

Yeah, here you go hawk. I used inverted U-bolts. The only problem was that 1 3/4" u-bolts were a lil too small and these 2" u-bolts are really a tad too big. At any rate, I painted them to match the grill guard and snugged up the bolts. Pretty easy. Doesn;t look so great in the close-ups, but it is not nearly as noticeable that it is not perfect on the truck.


For me it was better than trying to drill into the round tubing or mounting it somewhere else.

 

[167]

Also, the threads were a good bit taller. After tightening it up I chopped the bolts with a dremel tool.

 

[Tri-State PSE]

:shock: WOW! Nice U.A.V. , great lighting package.


Love the grille guard/winch/front bumper!!


(any chance you have a video?)

 

[167]

Added video. Shout out to the 7 year old for operating the siren.

 

[Hoot]

nice lookin truck!


that thing is just begging for a Q and a grover

 

[philyumpshus]

You couldn't find a better spot for the D8. I would sync all the lights and add something up high to the rear. Other than that it looks awesome.

 

[SBFD-E-9]

This has to be my favorite truck on the site right now. Looks amazing.

Nice job, too bad it's a Ford....lol

Thanks Dan. Have you seen my other "project"? Here it is this morning politicing for a FF friendly candidate?

 

[Rofocowboy84]

Where'd you get the 224 from?

 

[Boss429]

Definitely my favorite truck on the site. Yes I'm a ford guy but this truck is cool. It would be better if you would move the dash light behind the mirror IMO, but still a good looking truck.

 

[DaveCN5]

I got 1 one word for you.... ALCOA! It would look something like this:

 

[aberfitchguy2472]

Your truck looks great. I would just move the Bull dash light up above or just below the RVM. This would give you a little more height to your warning and another level of it. Also, I think the dash light gets long in the mix, especially with the D8+ running. I also agree with others in syncing your lights in the rear and in getting something to mount up higher in the rear window. That would do just like the front and give you another level to your warning and make your truck visible at a greater distance. It doesn't have to be anything big or fancy in the rear glass just something like an XP63 or Ghost from Sound Off would work, or if you wanted to stick with mostly Whelen you could do some TIR6s/Super Slimlighter or some single Talons/Avengers.

 

[167]

I'll experiment and see if I can move the dashlight up. It's been awhile since I have really looked at it. I orginally did not place it up high due to the factory ford graphics on the interior of the winshield. I have since had the windshield replaced with an aftermarket glass and it may be possible.


As far as the rear goes, personally I prefer the non synchronized look better. I may add some light up high in the future. My last truck had TIR3's mounted on each side of the cab mounted rear brake/cargo light.


Thanks for the replies so far.

 

[167]

Rofo,


I have had some 224's laying around for a long time. Just decided to go retro.

 

[mhaines15]

That truck looks very good. Classy and it looks like it's pretty effective. I'm impressed.

 

[Ben E.]

You know what this truck is? Not fair.

 

[VolEms]

Looks really good. I like your intersection warning.

 

[jonny521]

very nice looking truck

 

[SRVR77]

nice set up looks like a beast
