Well IMHO if you have the cash to spend to go from basic whats needed to OVERKILL whacker, then more power to him... LOL

I wonder if he was that lick the rasberry flavored windows on the short bus kinda special? ;)

I am a big offender in the to much area so I should watch what I say, but for construction (I am assuming by the colors) that's insane. plain and simply, I have somewhat of a reason for going overboard as a it is a duel purpose Demo/ in service vehicle. but holy crap.

Another example of a Whacker, whose vehicle is more likely gonna blind someone & cause an accident than actually warn people. The 360 seizure patterns, overuse of clear (ie there's no reason for him to have a HLF or 1/2 of those clear lights), & lack of sync make this a disaster


I'm also not a fan of him adding (what looks to be) red on his rear doors.

Way way to much white in the front and seems like all the reds and Amber are a different color shade maybe it's just my eyes

This truck had potential but was ruined.  Too many lights, poor choice of flash patterns and I hate the surface mounted lights.  I've never been a fan of roof mounted lightbars on an unmarked vehicle, also. 

Had he kept this truck clean with simple lights added to the pushbumper and interior (front & rear) it would have been really nice in my opinion.  Oh well...

Just curious to know what this rig is used for: why just amber and clear with no red or blue.

I like that it is a Suburban that still has rear doors and not a tailgate.  When I had my ambulance service, I loved the Suburban rigs.

Ive been seeing more and more red used on amber vehicles. Hell, middle georgia react gets away with full blown tahoe PPVs with enough red lights to light more then one vehicle.

Whoaaaa!  I can't believe that REACT could get by with that sort of thing.  When I was in Lubbock our REACT team ended up with an ambulance. We'd been working the local race track and they gave us the old track ambulance, a '60 Chevy wagon.  But there was no responding in POVs either.  And in those days law enforcement detested REACT for some reason.  A friend of mine who was on our team got stopped by a local cop one time who would've given him a warning; but upon seeing his REACT card issued him a ticket and told him that's why he was getting in, because he was in REACT.  I don't think they'd go quite that far nowadays.
