would like to get everyone's ideas adding a few new trucks to the fleet the 3 i have now currently run whelen edge 4 head strobe bars and older generation 1 led arrow sticks. i am thinking i want to go led lightbars and front grille and a pair of rear led flashers and upgrade on the arrow sticks bar must have stt lights and upper work lights and atleast a lighting output equal to the current edges these setups will replace the current setups and also go on the new trucks which come from the factpry with whelen towman specials which are a 10 head 62 inch led bar i am thinkin a 58 or 60 inch bar as the 62 inch is a bit long and wide for a repo truck.

A buddy of mine just upgraded one of his trucks. He put a sound off skyfire LED bar on it. It uses leds and mirrors and it is impressive. It has 4 corner leds, 3 front facing (looks like more with mirrors) and 3 rear facing (like the front) he also has 4 rear facing led work lights which are really bright as well. If you want more info I can get it from him. Just let me know.

our latest wrecker has a Whelen Freedom. I think that its WAY better than a Liberty that we have on our ramp. If you are worried about height then the Liberty will work better, but light output is better on the Freedom.

The star laser and laser mp are good bars that we can make the rear dual color to make it a giant worklight.


We also have the rontan maximum on sale this month on our site.

got the pm i do like the bar they come from the dealer with those but they are too long and wide for us and our wreckers have a fold down light bar bracket but the bar is a little too long and causes a problem with the fold down bracket with parking garages.

We just installed our first Star Laser Lineum Lightbar on a heavy haul truck and it is pretty wicked. The dual color light heads are SWEET for rear work lights and amber warning. I'm recommending this bar for any towing/recovery operations!

The only photo I took was this one with my phone. This lightbar is mounted on the roof with PowerArc PA Series adjustable mounting feet. They help raise the height of the bar "just enough" to be visible 360 degrees without looking like a spoiler. These brackets work GREAT for almost every semi truck installation.This photo was just taken at 1PM on a sunny day. Not too bad in my opinion.

Still can't get used to seeing bullbars in the USA!


Shame trucks hauling oversize aren't allowed to run light bars here, which means we see some very strange setups on rollback tow trucks, lightbar on rollback and beacons on truck cab.
