My wife has been nagging about not having cup.holders when driving my truck so today I put the stock console back in. Now i have all my BOSE speakers working and sounding good and the wife gets her cup holder. (That will be filled with portable radios. Install of the radios and cencom is not complete yet but its getting there. The 295sl is in the cubby under the arm rest. On of these days i will update the equipment in and on the truck here on the thread.

Easy trigger, I'm going to turn in the right way eventually. I don't have the right bracket so i have to pull that one off and drill some holes or something..... at least I didnt mount a radio to my dashboard....lol

That radio functions flawlessly, the speaker is pointed just right, and I'm able to operate it without taking my eyes off the road thank you very much!

Here is a video of the EX4s synced up the way they will be in the back of the Hoe. Eventually I am thinking of re wiring both the lights to each individual light head as a t/a. I am either going to get the T/A card for my cencom gold or the sho me t/a flasher with the little rotorary knob as I like the patterns.

UPDATE: The Hoe is out of service for a a few weeks (Alternator). Of course this all hit when the wife's Honda needed tires, the registration taxes and fees needed paying, ect. So, needless to say it will be the end of the month before I can spare the money for the alternator. With that being said, I decided it is time to completely gut the inside of the tahoe and get everything rewired, this way I can cut down the lengths of extra wire I used to avoid from pulling the carpet. (NOTE I would have pulled the carpet to begin with but never had enough time to devote, Now I have like 4 weeks... )


Also. I am REALLY thinking about putting my split r/w T6s on the side of the PB, finding a solid color t6 or similar light with the same intensity, and syncing all the lower lights together using ULF44s. Also I have found that my whelen strobe pack has a Sync wire so I believe I can sync the rear strobes with everything else.


Of course I am also going to rewire the two Wacker Inciter 4 bars as a split T/A and locate a T/A card for the cencom gold. And add the no-cut/splice Head light flasher.


And eventually I will decide if I am going to get some 500s for the mirror beam covers I have or just sell them


Again, as of right now all the lights that are in the how will pretty much stay where they are, with the slow addition of thing as I have the spare cash. The wiring will be done as to accommodate the present set up with the ability to be upgraded to the final product(i.e.: Grill lights, extra siren speakers, the moving of the T6s to the pb, ect. ) eventually I will get video of the light configuration as it is now and can get some ideas of if I need to/how to move things around to get the most out of what I have, in addition of ideas of what I could get for to replace the rear t6s so I can move them and what kind of grill lights to get.


Oh and There will be another console being built, once again the schedule for that is


EVENTUALLY,lol.


Thanks for looking..

The sync input on your strobe power supply is to effect sync with other strobe power supplies with the same pattern. It won't work to sync strobes with LEDs.


As for the rest, life happens to us all in varying degrees. Sometimes time to think/plan is what we need most.


Love the idea of syncing up the (2) four head sticks into a t/a. I have two SNM E44s I was thinking of doing the same with.

Oddly enough, I MIGHT have an alternator for you. Checking now.

I've got the original alternator out of my 06 Silverado 1500. If that'll work, let me know!

Oh, and Plastix, Plastix is the shit. I used it on my wife's headlights now they look like new--ish. The Liberty will be cleaned up and polished as well as everything else.

Can't detail a car with the cover on. I have enough lights, radios, antennas, electronics, either in/on the truck already or will be in the future that I want to get every wire laid and taped down properly.

While I cant drive the truck yet, I started mocking up the quad bars. With a power supply I hooked one up, I am absolutely happy with how good it looks. Here is a teaser video, sorry its a night shot but I wanted to share.http://youtu.be/j2jt7k7bRnE

Seriously, did you film this with a potato? The video quality is awful. That being said, the bar does look good there.

The bar does look good. And no flashback. It butts right up to the window. I don't know why the video quality is so bad because it takes amazing pictures, It might be due to being night time and the light was extremely bright camera couldn't keep up.

Mounted an AWL Venom, courtesy of Foxtrot5, upside down and backwards to make it work in the rear doors. With some tweeking they look pretty good. uploadfromtaptalk1405373301747.jpguploadfromtaptalk1405373312943.jpguploadfromtaptalk1405373322533.jpg

Thank you sir. Still waiting for more from your install.
Indeed...  I couldn't do much since I had misplaced my heat gun...  But I've tracked it down and will be retrieving it later on today...  I'll also be getting some more supplies...  With any luck I'll get some work done on it on Friday...
