Siren update. I ended up taking it into my dealer where I purchase the vehicle to see if they could find a good spot to mount it. I wasn't comfortable taking the whole front end off so I figured they'd have better luck then us trying to install it ourselves. I had some pretty clear instructions on how to mount it but they either didn't listen or had no choice where they put it. Without pictures the easiest way to explain it is that they mounted it on the passenger side directly between the passenger headlight and fog light. The only problem was they could only mount it facing down instead of facing out towards the front of the vehicle. I wasn't there when they did it so I guess I can't be too mad. At first I didn't think it would be loud enough but after getting it hooked up and testing it I don't think it's going to be that big of a problem.

Here's some pictures of it finished.
I'm going to create another thread in Professional for some of your computer gurus to help me with some graphics.

Thought I'd share this, I added a Graphix Shoppe chevron on the lower rear bumper. This was taken April 14th while blocking the road due to high waters from storms that came through
Taken with my cell phone. Bottom is a tilt up command board. Left door is for storage and right is a normal file drawer.

So I really like everything you've done but how are you going to service the radio or siren if they fail?Brian H said:Taken with my cell phone. Bottom is a tilt up command board. Left door is for storage and right is a normal file drawer.
I haven't done anything else with the vehicle. I added another Mobile radio to the back of the unit but it's not hardwired yet. I also just got last week a Green LED Code 3 beacon thats pretty bright but it's only a mag mount
Last week I got the Durango lettered and striped. I went through Grafix Shoppe in MN for the graphics and had an install shop in Omaha put them on for me. The drivers side looks kind of funny as the Emergency Management isn't straight but oh well, they did a better job putting them on then I would have..lol Thought you guys would like to see. I started a facebook page up a few month back and if you're interested check it out, Facebook.com/MontgomeryEMA
Looks good, really like the paint scheme and that it's clearly marked as EM. A very good set up in my opinion. Only thing I don't like is the built in pull out command board. It greatly limits you on where you can set up, and could prevent you from being able to be up front where you can see everything. We have one on the newest chief's car in my fire department, and unless the chief is first on scene(we're a volunteer department) there's no guarantee he could be able to get up front where he has a visual of the whole scene. Portable command boards are by far the better choice in my opinion.

No offence, but I'm stealing your Durango to bring to Sydney... that looks awesome.
And the FS Valor... oh if I could only convince the powers that be

Have you ever thought of adding 1" high visibility reflective tape to your side mirrors? They would be applied to the lower part next to the black trim. I would think they would blend in nicely, but provide great visiblity during night operations...should be less than $20 for both with some extra tape to spare...maybe line the inside of your hatch, for when you are working from your cabinet...

I actually have a lot of extra reflective left over and have plans to put some on the inside of the doors but just haven't gotten around to it yet

So... I'll be "that guy" and revive this awesome thread... Since the Valor seems to be gaining popularity. And there may be another Durango with one soon... lol
