2013 GMC Sierra POV

[tcfd823]

Just a simple install, but I feel like it may be missing some things. I'm open to suggestions.


Current Equipment:


SnM E66 dual color (r/a)


Dual viper S2 (red)


1 Red/ 1 Clear T6


Unitrol TouchMaster Delta


Soon to be added:


pair of red/clear cannons


par of red/ clear t6's


Jotto console


second siren speaker

Pics?


A good set of grille lights Whelen M4s, M6s, or M7s are some of the best. If you can have them in your state a headlight flasher and a siren.

Not bad, but I'd have a few suggestions;


A) add another RR dual viper on the other side of the RVM


B) use 2 larger, solid red grill lights (ie red M6s). If not, then I would mount the T6 higher up in the grill (and both in solid red)


C) add a HLF


D) red intersectors (or at least something in the rear side windows)


E) skip the red/clear cannons (I'm guessing u were going to replace the reverse lamps) & put a pair of solid red cannons in the rear tail signals...having the full 12 LEDs flash will be better than having 6, & I personally don't think having LED reverse lamps is that important


PS I have a clearance sale on New FedSig Dual S2 Vipers. PM me if interested.

Flip that phone the other way when filming!

back to the install,


I think it's just maybe my OCD but the single white grille light looks out of place IMO. I'd rather have two red grille lights and the dash light in red/white instead. Just my personal preference on that.


Funds allowing, look iinto upgrading to a larger set of grille lights. Try whelen m4s. You have a big truck, use big grille lights instead. Also, any intersection warning?


Otherwise the truck looks good.

Funny you should mention the phone needing to be flipped. The phone was being held the "proper" way when filming, it's just something in the settings that is screwy. I've put other videos on youtube that were full screen, (but the phone was held the same way, so i dont really know what to tell you)

I've had interior lightbars, as well as a pair of Dual Vipers in my Charger. I didn't really care for having anything in my direct line of sight. The cannons, I already have; I just have to send one back to have some warranty work done, and those will be installed after. I do agree on needing something for the side windows and a HLF, but i'm limited on budget with this being a new purchase. Basically, everything that is on the truck now (save for a pair of red and clear T6's), was on my Charger.

How did you mount the viper to your headliner?

Looks like he used the "Coat Hanger Trick"... http://elightbars.org/forums/f32/cheap-easy-mount-light-your-headliner-16787/


I also used this method to mount my 911EP TDWL36 to the headliner of my Avalanche... http://elightbars.org/forums/f34/%2Aupdate-5-9-14-stripped-down%2A-b-b-lighting-solutions-2003-chevy-avalanche-392/index6.html#post451561

Nice clean set up. Very minimal and low profile. Dig the grille lights and the rear window stick...crazy bright. Heres my 2 pennys...


1. Add some side warning somewhere near the bed/cab area. Maybe some T6's on the rear door window sills.


2. If you are putting white cannons in the front I suggest all red T6's, or do r/w cannons and r/w T6's. +1 to those that suggested Whelen M4's or 400 series heads for the grille. They have a bigger footprint though.


3. You might consider moving rear stick to the headliner in case you get a tool box (most common added acces.) or if you are hauling something that is higher than bed rails.


4. Move the windshield light down to the dash area. It will blast almost any car/suv in front of you right in their rear view mirror.


Again just my 2 cents...looks good though.
