2015 Suburban Install

[VolEms]

Why isn't there a list of what is installed?

There are a few things I would change.  Still not a fan of Vertex being surface mounted.  The is no way I would drill holes into my bumper cover.

Like the way you mounted the roofrail lights.

Why is blue in the rear but nowhere else? Is this some whacky NY thing?


Don't like surface mounted vertexes or the single flash of the under mirror intersectors.

Whats up with the ion? In the middle of the hood

I'm guessing this is for a "certain" VAS in NYC? Must say that this is one of the first Suburban POVs for them that I've seen that wasn't crazy obnoxious.


I'm not a fan of surface mount LAWs either, but my only 2 dislikes are the lower grill splits (even though they were synced well) and the genI side lights (I'm guessing reused from previous ride?). What TLF did u use?

 

[VolEms]

I'll post a list of the install shortly. The side rear window was the customers Slimisers. I didn't want to install them but he insisted. The rear we switched out the reverse lights for a Vertex and used a SOS flasher to alternate brake reverse.

I like this one overall. I still think the surface mounted vertex are a terrible idea and the random hood mounted light is weird but overall this is pretty good.

Better than the GMC!

Another overdone Hatzolah responder! The exterior mounted ION on the hood looks ridiculous! To answer Surgical, yes Blue is only legal to display on the rear of an authorized emergency vehicle in New York State as per the recently updated vehicle and traffic laws.

As a side note, I think GM really killed the looks of the new Tahoe/Suburban as well as the GMC Yukon!

Thanks BH.

Correct me if im wrong but I dont see anything overdone on this particular car. Looks like the same amount of lights u have on your picture above your screen name. All sides are covered without anything too outlandish. Grouping a single vehicle to a whole organization is not only pathetic but childish. I sense a little bit of jealousy here. Just take the install for what it is and comment on the install ONLY. You can keep your personal feelings to yourself.

 

[VolEms]

Black hoe. Who said this vehicle was for a hatzolah responder. Whats your issue with Hatzolah anyway. There are a lot of elb members who belong to that organisation. I also think the ion on the hood looks amazing. I thnk we should focus on the install and not on particular EMS agencies. Here on ELB we have respect for all races and religions. It's amazing every time I post an install someone starts to rip it apart based on bigotry. To end off, this install is not overdone at all. I'm assuming you are a wacker who doesn't use your lights much. For those of us who respond to emergencies we want to be seen, heard and safe. You do need a decent amount of lights to be 360 without a lightbar. End of rant.

Hey all, lets just try to keep cool heads about us.

 

[VolEms]

Agreed. We need to focus on the install. That's why we are here. Not to talk good or bad about any organisation.

Guys, please be civil with each other and stay on topic.  If you wish to discuss hatzolah civally there are places to do that, this thread is not one of them.  We will be monitoring this thread, and if it continues to go downhill it will be removed.

I, personally, think the hood-mounted ION would look better if it were solid red and set on steady...  But thats just me, I love me some steady burn...  lol

 

[foxtrot5]

At first glance, this install looks solid and fairly well thought out. My "major" complaints are the slim-misers (I know, I know, the customer is always right), and I just don't like the look of lights mounted to the roof rails. Finally, while it looks nice, I don't know how I feel about the positioning of the control head, for me that would be an awkward place to reach for to change siren tones. Is the unit tied to the horn at all?

 

[VolEms]

I didn't want the Slimmisers to go in. The customer insisted since they were his primary lights in his old car. The SS2000 is connected to the horn. When you put on the lights the horn automatically becomes HF.

Well you can't argue with the customer. As for the HF, thanks for clarifying. In that case, I do like the position of the SS2000 head up there.

I'll post a list of equipment shortly. Have been flat out busy with installs.

The customer wanted to put his mini phantom back on the dash. I didn't want any gen1 lights on this car. So he agreed to put one ion on the hood instead. I think it looks pretty good. A bit different but maybe I'm starting a trend. Lol

 

[foxtrot5]

The hood mounted ion is different for sure, but it's kinda starting to grow on on. That being said, I think it would look great as a steady-red.
