Well, im biting off of this idea. Im gonna use a pair of Excalibur Sweeps and LR11s and replace the front corners on my Mini Libby.
DO IT!!! Can't wait to see it...Well, im biting off of this idea. Im gonna use a pair of Excalibur Sweeps and LR11s and replace the front corners on my Mini Libby.
I love it.
i dunno how code 3 never transformed the MX7K into a mainstream LED or a LED/Combo lightbar (ie like the Whelen Delta lor FedSig's upgrades to some of their popular halogen lightbars)...maybe it's because the LED intersection sweeps are such a good idea & C3 lacks creativity, thinking that we won't notice them putting mediocre LED modules in recycled frames & calling it innovative. The MX7K is one of my all time favorites & I love seeing the LED upgrades that members have put into theirs over the years
Never seen a set, nor are they listed in the PDF for the Excalibur. Not to say they didnt at one point maybe offer them.Do they make Smart Sweeps for the Excalibur?
Ouch that's too steep for me. I just scored a pair of Excalibur sweeps for $5ea off eBay. Ill keep u guys posted and ill start a separate thread.Never seen a set, nor are they listed in the PDF for the Excalibur. Not to say they didnt at one point maybe offer them.
IF you can find and afford a set of smart MX sweeps, you could cut the reflectors down, but they pop up on ebay for like $200/pair used. and require a control module IIRC.
This.Maybe I'll put all these parts (and more) into the full bar I have and make a full size Flat-Top... If I go full, I'd have to find a different way to mount it, don't think mags will do the trick... lol
This.
I like the full bar idea too.
Happy...? lolYou should edit the title, this is a RANGER clone. Tisk Tisk, you should know better Boulder
haha, thanks man... I'm thinking about modifying some MX mirrors and putting them on either side of the L32... It would fill up that space and add some more flash...Oh WOWWW! this looks incredible! The L32 really sets it off! The rotate pattern is perfect. The full size was definitely the way to go. Just when i thought this bar couldnt get any cooler! I love it. The only problem is, this makes me have to step-up my custom-build game. Great job Boulder, as always!
HAHA, no... My partner at work is crocheting a blanket... lolAre you knitting a lightbar coozie for it too?
Thanks Dave... I'm not sure about the tops... I'll be getting a set of clear tops for it so all the lenses are clear... Depending I might smoke the tops...
Yeah, after the first vid I decided I wanted the bar to be side to side flashing... I'm digging the name too...Glad you put the front Solaris heads in pairs instead of independents. Less chaos in the flashes.
The SolaRanger OSC is coming along well.
I wish... Again, 90%-95% of the parts in my builds are parts I already had laying around or freebies... I didnt know how to do this when I first started either... Everyone has to start somewhere...Hey Boulder is there anyway I could pay you please to make me a custom lightbar like this, in a different color?? I don't how to or I'd do it myself.
Well, ask and ye shall receive... I have a video up on YT now that I'll post soon...That bar is awesome. I would love to see a distance video in the sun. Great work!
Dan
This is awesome. I know i sure dont have the ability to create this beast. Hats off to you sir
Yeah, a simple trimming is all thats really needed... Since the mirrors were designed for the upper level, they are a bit too tall... I'm thinking I could leave them like a 1/16" or 1/8" taller than the space, just so the top can hold them down with compression, but i can just screw it down too... We'll see... I may bring some stuff in tonight and play around... but if not, there is always tomorrows shift... lolI was gonna suggest a pair of mirrors by the L32. Looking forward to the new video
I might look for a set of black tops... The blue tops I have and in really good shape, and the clears i'm going to be getting are just about new... If they were used/yellowed,scratched/hazed I'd paint them in a heartbeat... lolI concur on the mirrors, as a mini-expert on MX's i see that as being a really easy mod.
Next; especially if your doing clear tops: I highly recommend painting, plasti-dipping or smoking the tops. I've seen WAYYYYYY too many 2100's and Excalibers with sun-baked wiring. I dont want to see all this time effort and thought go down the drain (or worse up in flames) over something easily avoidable.
Lastly: I would hunt on ebay (to save coin) for some feniex blue 4 diode heads. (currently at $25/head) Granted I havent seen this bar in person but Im willing to wager you can squeak a couple in there; specifically at the ends for more continuity on the side while the sweeps are in motion.
All in all Tim Im jealous and impressed to say the least. And you know me well enough to know I dont hand out accolades often.
I plan on getting some of the broken Solaris heads I have converted to amber... But I also have an idea of getting an Amber L32 and making 2 custom Blue/Amber L32s and putting them into the custom bar... lolBetter squeeze some amber in to the rear
Damn it, i recently sold my L32. What about stacking the two L32s on top of each other and being able to run an 'amber only' rotator, or just the blue. ..
you shut your dirty mouth. this means squat comin from the guy with the Super Valor :haha:Everyone needs to run amber only. Lol.
