I'll be honest- if I saw that truck flying down the road with that Bar flailing in the wind, I'd have to pull over from laughing. ( And yes, I know that does present a safety issue.

Somebody has to stop and pick up the chunks of fail-bar once the cigarette plug gets torn free.

I have to admit, I think 'Country Boy Swag' is (to me, at least) worse than 'Git-R-Done'. I wish we had pics of the complete truck... something tells me there are most likely some chrome naked lady mudflaps on it. :woot: :woot: :crackup: :crackup:

No, its only two lights. They're cheap Chinese lights.. The top and bottom flash together, and then the middle flashes. There are some people around me that have them, and that's the only flash pattern it has.

That reminds me of Federal's original magnetic Jr. Beacon Ray. They had the old-style magnets that just didn't hold. But to insure that the light wouldn't fly off the vehicle, it had a tab on the front of the light that would slip over a #10 sheet metal screw to anchor the light. Didn't work! Ellis Funeral Home here had a Junior on their 1958 Chrysler wagon ambulance. It had a B&M siren on the rt. fender. Even with that "anchor" in place, that light flew off more than once when they were on ambulance runs, and one time it had to be sent back to Federal for repairs. The Chrysler was replaced in1960 by a 1961 Chevy Apache Panel Truck, putting their '59 Ford into backup position. The 17 beacon from the Ford went on the panel, and the junior off the Chrysler went on the Ford wagon. But this time they bolted the light to the roof of the Ford and never lost it again. Downside....the Ford was replaced by a '63 Chevy wagon, which would be their last backup ambulance. They tried to keep the junior on by using suction cups, since the old magnets had long since worn out. That didn't work, either, and it went flying....this time retiring the light. They ran that Chevy wagon solely with red sealed beam in the highbeam slots....and NO siren! But they were out of the ambulance business by 1964 anyway.

So I had a local plow company to myself and ask for updates in lights. They previously did all the work in shop. The lights where decently installed, but then I came across their strobe set up.....

In my experience, the GR171 is completely potted. While it's not marketed specifically as a waterproof power supply, it probably hasn't given them any problems. All they really need is a handful of Deutsch connectors, or even Weather Pack connectors, and a good place to mount the power supply.

That car SCREAMS out mexican cartel and or imposter cop wannabe... down here a Chrysler 300 with chrome and shiny rims is bad bad news especially since there are narco Corrido songs talking about that car...
To make things worse that car has Texas plates and Red/Blues.... its probably used to comit home invasions and to pull over rival drug dealers and steal drugs...

I have never actually seen any cholos or low riders with that discription here in South Texas.... i think thats more of a California thing and or a movie fake thing.

Love the steelies with center caps on a 300.
In comments he claims he is LEO and uses the car for Highway ODJ's. 26yo, San Antonio address, no criminal history. Holds a non commissioned (un armed) security guard license in Texas active 2012. If he was really a LEO, his security license would be commissioned (armed). Works for Best of Texas Events (security company). Face Book comes back with a TBL picture, and of course likes Super Troopers. If he is a reserve Officer he would not be able to work ODJ's per Texas law.
I'm calling it. Wanna be with a fake cop car.
Anyone in the San Antonio area want to get him?

I wouldn't pull over if I saw him behind me. I've NEVER seen a 300 Series sedan used as a POV in any shape or form around here. At best, I've seen a Louisville Metro PD Mustang, a handful of KSP Camaro/Challenger/ and a single Mustang unmarked. If it isn't a Jeep, Ford, Chevy, or Dodge, it isn't an EV around here. ( POVs are almost ALWAYS a truck or surplus CVPI.)

I am starting to see a surplus of old retired new model Tahoes out on the streets driven by thugs... Its scary and I recently saw one today it was white with 24 inch rims and I drove up behind it in my personal truck and I got to see some vertex leds in the tail lamps that were off.. So that's even more scary knowing people are buying these PPVs and for some reason mostly thugs buy them the guy driving it had his windows rolled down blaring his Mexican drug cartel music and leaning back like a cholo in the seat.
here is one example from my local craigslist guy selling a old 2007 Tahoe fully equipped with red blues to any drug dealer with the cash.... thing has ballistic door inserts also...

I can't believe some of the things I see in this thread. lol. I bet that isn't cheap to replace two batteries every 6 months or so, depending how often he runs hot. lol
