That crown vic is bad, here's his other video:


I have to admit, I like the flash pattern for his grille lights. What controller is he using?

This is our neighboring Depts. equipment/rescue truck. It was a donated truck. They took off the air conditioning unit and put the siren speaker up there. Since it did not have a lightbar, they put on 2 Whelen DX minis. They also attached an SVP minibar on the rear roof. The box flashers work intermitently.


2 mag. mounts with wire ran behind the cab. Not positive where the red wire with the speaker is going.

Y'all got problems controlling the pioneers down in Texas? Never heard of a Texas Pioneer Control before.


Also, is the Dodge truck with the red and blue beacons a vollie firefighter or what? Since he has red, he must be an authorized emergency vehicle, according to Texas law. Plus, what is up with him displaying two different license plates to the rear? One is on the bumper and one is at the lower right corner of the headache rack next to the rear window.

The pioneer security cars are all kinds of illegal with the blue lights, but leo's ignore that in dfw and obviously Houston. Companies that go out of their way to disguise the fact that they are security are the ones I laugh at.

Their graphics strongly resemble Houston PD, especially at a glance, and the word PATROL in large caps could pass for POLICE from a distance.

I'll give this kid credit... I could watch this all day. As I watch, I catch myself saying, "did he really... is he gonna... did he just... there's no way he would..." and then he does it! You gotta love his sincerity and dedication to his project.

Might as well add in his 3rd wiring job, but on his fog lights. Still, not a fuse in sight.
