Going to be adding some T3's to the rear plate.  I had a plate bracket make for the T3's.   It will be synced with the 600 (eventually)  I also stated the lighting on the trailer.  I replaced some of the rear skin so I figured it was a good time to wire the trailer up.  A work in progress until I get everything that is going on it.

Got the girl working on it too?! KEEP HER!!!

 

[Eric1249]

I mounted a pair of T3's with a license plate bracket.  I also have a new Cobra 600 for the rear window.  I am not sure if I should leave the flasher in it or sync it like I did with all my other lights with a UL44?

I am going to add some Cannons in the tail lights.  Red in the upper portion of the tail light and white/amber in the reverse housing.

C-600 on the knight rider pattern...  lol

I don't even know why they have that pattern lol

 

[TritonBoulder47]

I'd like it better if it was just back and forth instead of the back, forth, back, center out...  LoL  

 

[Eric1249]

I been making some minor changes and I was redoing my wiring. The enclosed trailer is almost done as well.

I took a Whelen license plate bracket for a pair of Ions and had a local shop modify the tabs on the bracket to work with T3's.

 

[hfdemt4095]

I wish my wiring came out that clean... I feel ashamed

 

[TritonBoulder47]

Great job man!!!

 

[Eric1249]

Thanks guys.  I just need to add a couple switches in the trailer and decide on a reverse light for it. 

I still need 4 amber Vertex for my truck along with a couple other changes.  I synced the rear bar but I think I might put lasher back in for the T/A function.  Thoughts?

VERTEX's??? Whaaaaaat?

 

[Eric1249]

Once in awhile we block a road at work. So I figured a little amber would be nice.  And the best pattern for that is Whelen Signal Alert.

Trailer is all done.  There I used all Cobra dummy heads.  6 red, 4 amber, 3 white.

 

[hfdemt4095]

When you had the bullbar on, how did you mount the intersection lights to it?

How do you like the t3's compared to the 6's? I kow 3 led vs 6 but I am hearing some very good things about the t3 power

 

[Mrlunchbox]

Where did you get your brush guard? And what make/model is it? Looks good!

[Eric1249]

I am thinking about take the Cobra 600 off the brush guard and hiding a pair of T6' behind the grille.  I haven't been as active with the dept.  It has been awhile since I have used them.

The gf and I went to see Motley Crue the other night.  So here a good pic of her.

I absolutely approve!

 

[kitsune86]

Mmm, sync.  Looks great!

 

[Surgicalcric]

That looks awesome Eric - MCI trailer for a single casualty? Lol

 

[proudfirefighter]

Truck looks absolutely perfect. I wouldn't change anything on it as of right now. 
Gotta ask though, what's the trailer lit up for/what's in it?

 

[TritonBoulder47]

Le Sex my friend!!!  Awesome job!!!

 

[Eric1249]

Making some small changes.  I was debating moving the Cobra 600 that is on the brush guard higher to create a little distance between it and the Cannons in the fogs.  And Larynn said sync the rear bar.  So she did most of the work taking the flasher out and rewiring it.  So some changes to the back.  I put some amber T3's on the rear plate.  They are not programmed in with the slide switch. I am not thrilled with the amber color of the T3's.  So those will most likely change lol.  

Larynn also like lights on the running boards.  Sill not sure on that one.

 

[hfdemt4095]

So you have (2) 600's to the front now?

 

[Eric1249]

I should have explained that pic.  The one on the top was just zipped tied on to see if it looks better on the top or where t was originally below the off road lights.  

 

[hfdemt4095]

Is that 600 being used somewhere else or just a "spare" 600?

 

[Eric1249]

I had the one out of the rear window to take the flasher out.  It is back in there now.

 

[hfdemt4095]

I think the 600 looks better up top, besides the fact of it creating more distance  between the cannons in the fogs, it looks visually more appealing- atleast to me.

and I know you've said in the past that you're not a fan of a lot of white light to the front, but I think a pair if takedown spaced out far from each other would look nice, even if you didn't run them at night I think the slow wig wag of takedowns during the day time is very eye catching.

if I were you I'd set it up so itd be TDRRRRTD and keep it on the same flash pattern it's on now with everything synced except have the takedowns on opposite circuits so when the right side red flashed the left takedown would flash and when the left side flashed the right takedown would flash and somehow still have the ability to steady burn them incase the need for scene lighting or anything like that ever arose

just my .02

I agree totally.  I need to get some mounts to mount it to the top bar. 

 

[Eric1249]

I haven't posted on here much lately. Thinking of making some changes. I was thinking of making the rear 600 r/a/a/a/a/r. I would put the flasher back in just for the amber and keep the red synced with tails. I have amber to the rear for work the few times I might need it. I put some T3's (amber) on the rear plate but I don't like the pale color.

A little bit off topic but I gave some thought to a dash cam just in case. I would have no idea what kind or what to look for.

 

[bluestinger90]

Of course you are thinking of making changes!
