Alright, so after pulling my 49" Millennium and selling my V plow knowing with my new job I wouldn't have the time to properly care for my route, I figured I was done with lights on my truck for awhile. Wrong, as could easily be predicted. Picked up a cheap plow from a family member and then needed a new light. I have a 50" cree bar over my windshield so a fullsize warning bar on the roof was not going to work well, looks wise. I went on the hunt for a mini Justice. I successfully obtained a mini justice:frame, bases, mounting plates, two white linear 6led corners,and one new dome (courtesy of Retired1, thanks again Chief!) Shortly after, I obtained a pair of amber CON3 for the bar, but still needed to figure out the rest of the bar....
After some thinking and measuring, I found that standard Liberty corners are pretty much the same size overall as the Justice corners, but with double the LEDs. I have a set of red ones I am trading to Brian (Wilsonbr90) for ambers. I will have to trim the pieces off them that slide into the LFL frame, and mount them but that will be pretty simple. So having an idea for corners, and having the two CON3, I planned to put the CON3 in the front, and put some white steady light in the rear. I have enough rear warning to not need the heads in the back of the bar flashing. In a desperate attempt to save as much money as possible, I decided to trim the reflectors of the white corners, and drill the mounting brackets to attach them to the rear positions of the bar:
I also bought a set of 95# magnets from Matt (mm2k5) and drilled the lip of the frame that typically allows a Whelen mounting system to slide in, and attached the magnets there. To stabilize the large magnets, I attached rubber feet (like on the bottom of a TV or computer monitor) that sit against the base of the bar. When tightened down they were very sturdy and they sit perfect on the roof of my truck.
So I made it this far! I had to purchase dome screws, Whelen wants $2.25 a PIECE! I found them (#10x1 3/4" ss) at Home Depot for $2.50 for all 8, and I used tiny O-rings for a seal at the head of the screws to the dome. I have to obtain another dome still ($80!!!) and a flasher. I need a deal on a ulf44 or justice or maybe even responder flasher! I am expecting the corners to show up this week, and I will update when I get to work on it again. I know its not a big fancy Boulder project, but I haven't seen many (or any?) Justice projects with actual modification around here so I figured I would make y'all a little thread.
