I would say all the more reason not to go slicktop...

Agreed. I love me some slicktops, especially marked slicktops, but if you're doing checkpoints and busy 4-lane highways, I think I'd want a lightbar, no matter how ugly it was. Many of our troopers have slicktops, I have no idea how they get away with it on the interstate.

so I got my interior pinnacles in and my 12 head ultra-lite and HOLY SHIT at these interior pinnacle! :shock: for such a small light they are amazing, so i think i will be pretty good without the lightbar :lol:


I played around and placed the rear pinnacle deck light and got someone to hold the 12 head ultra-lite in the top rear headliner to see how it looked and its just blinding bright.... I cant wait to get everything situated so i can do this install!

I f you guys work interdiction on highways, get a traffic director of some type. wheter the public undertstands it or not is immaterial, the amber is what is important. Homogenous colors on a car make zero sense in terms of safety. Moreso w/ blue. Blue sucks in direct sunlight, led or not.

Any updates yet?

as far as what? still needing some things before i do the install.. waiting on the supervisors to hopefully approve me a pushbar so i dont have to buy that out of my pocket also. They only thing they have got me without me paying for it is my badge, car, and........ o yea i got a new flashlight last week we got on a grant.


I still need (besides the pushbar) black honeycomb grille, some LED's for my side rear windows, grille lights, maybe a better console and the Sound Off 380 series siren, siren speakers. Anyone want to help me out on this stuff! :twisted:

Thanks to K9cop116 he is giving me some side panels and filler plates for my console! :D


A couple of people have offered me PA300's and similar but I already have a PA300... I do want a 200 watt unit but really want a dual tone or 2 different sirens so i really need a siren with built in switches!


Also need a nice switchbox (would love slide switch) If anyone has anything laying around they dont want or want to get rid of CHEAP! Im hoping I can get the new Sound Off 380 dual tone still.





Rest of needed equipment before i can do install:


Push Bar (going before the board and hope they approve it! We have 4 cars without it and the sheriff is going to try to get all 4 so my fingers are crossed)


Mirror Lights


LEDs for my pushbar/grille and side pushbar


Something for my side rear windows which will be HEAVILY tinted so im not sure if i should even put a lighthead there or put some XP63's behind it just for SOME light.


If anyone has anything to sell at a good price or anything they arent using anymore and would be willing to part ways with it let me know please... im SO ready to get this install going.! :eek:

I was looking at this pic and I was wondering why there is soo much red/orange dirt build-up in the trunk?

Idk, I guess from our Gravel Roads and it getting in somewhere? I have to have a major cleaning on this baby

Alright I have me a new Whelen LED spotlight on the way.. Now I need a few other things to hopefully come in and I will be ready for the install. I hope to have this done within the next 2 weeks.


Still trying to save my pennies for a pushbar...


Also Might just run 2 PA300 sirens (one has hi-lo and the other hyper yelp) and 2 switchboxes or try to find a switchbox like I already have (a GALLS pushbutton if anyone has one) or one with slide switch pursuit on it instead of trying for a nice siren/switchbox combo.


there is a member here that i am trying to purchase some used Predators from to put in my side rear window but he wont reply to me, just reads my message about wanting to purchase them. :cry:


I also will be getting my windows tinted hopefully this week and cant decide on rainguards on my windows or not?


any suggestions or does anyone have any equipment for me? I STILL NEED FILLER PANELS FOR A PRO-COPPER CONSOLE...

Rain guards are an awesome investment, I love them on my car, it's nice knowing you can leave your windows open without people noticing they're even down a little bit, get some nice airflow while you're not in the car, and some fresh air while you're in it but want the a/c on.
