Nah. It would be a Frankenbar if it was a Liberty with, say, normal Libby corners, a single regular 500 linear-LED and a Code 3 LED-X in front, plus a couple Chinese TIR3's, and a FedSig halogen traffic advisor bolted to the back, with a Sentry and a SuperStrobe stuck on top. And of course the Titan underneath.


This is just a custom Liberty. 1) it's symmetrical, 2) it's all LED, 3) only one external attachment. A Frankenbar is none of these.

Made a little more progress on the rebuild... I got the switchbox mounted in its new home and its all wired up...

Underside: Terminal strips are tones easier to use instead of butt connecting every wire... Not sure why it took me so long to start using them... lol


ai64.photobucket.com_albums_h191_tritontim47_The_20Avalanche_20130618_190219_zpsd48e98dd.jpg


All mounted up: I also got my Radio mounted in its new home as well, but I didn't get to wiring it yet...


ai64.photobucket.com_albums_h191_tritontim47_The_20Avalanche_20130619_133830_zps43b4fa14.jpg


The Switchbox is set-up as follows:


Switch #1 - Front LEDs (Mirror Beams, 700s, 600s, and Intersection LIN4s)


Switch #2 - Rear LEDs (Amber SNM E3s, Blue SNM E3s, Rear Intersection LIN3s)


Switch #3 - Take Downs (SXTDLEDs and Feniex Titan 1000)


Switch #4 - Left Alley (future addition, possibly a Feniex Titan 200)


Switch #5 - Right Alley (future addition, possibly a Feniex Titan 200)


Switch #6 - Flashing Take Downs (Flashed the SXTDLEDs against the Feniex Titan 1000)


The Pursuit Switch is set-up as follows:


Position #1 - All 4 Corners plus the Rear Amber (CON-3) Flashers


Position #2 - Adds the rest of the Rear (4 TIR-6s), and the Front LIN-6s


Position #3 - Adds the Front Steady CON-3, T-4s and Fairys


My T/A control and Siren will be mounted in the Center Console under the lid, Here it is mocked-up:

I'm still waiting on some supplies to come in the mail so I can get my Grill Lights, MirrorBeams, and rear E3s hooked up... But I decided to play around with my No-Splice HLF and I decided to install that for sh*ts and giggles... lol


Here's a quick vid...

Can you post up a photo of how you mounted the 600 series to the grill? I'm about to do the same with my 06 Silverado and could use some ideas.

It's a ruse. Boulder actually just bought clear 600 and 700 lenses and mounted them to the grill to try to impress us... :weird:

Ok ladies and gentlemen (especially foxtrot5 and Storm4200) The long awaited activation of my frontal warning...


MirrorBeams, 700s, and 600s all running off my ULF-44. Plus I threw my HLF in for sh*ts and giggles... lol


Day Vid: (the angle of my driveway and the angle of the 700s makes it appear as if they are dim/not working... I assure you they are.)

Again, the SNM E3s in the rear DO WORK, they are just not currently hooked up... I still have a pair of Whelen LIN-3s to mount in the rear for Rear/Side warning and then I'll get everything hooked up... I also have a pair of Whelen LIN-4s and a pair of SNM E3s to still mount somewhere... one of those pairs will be Front/Intersection warning not sure what I'll do with the other pair... lol


Plus I have some Feniex Titan heads to mount in the rear as well... lol Maybe later this week if I get time...

On another note which pattern are you using on the ulf44?

My favorite pattern, Action Flash...

sync looks great! TBO, i think you should sell all four of those grill lights and buy a pair of M7s. call it a day. i think the grill looks too crowded when theyre off. when theyre on, the sync makes them looks great.


its coming along nicely. its my favorite Liberty that ive seen. i would like to see the rear ambers flash even slower. they make such a huge difference.

To me the M7s are too "rounded" for my body style truck... Besides, Even if I sold the 700s and 600s I still wouldn't have the funds for 1 pair of M7s... lol The grill does look crazy obnoxious... lol I've been thinking about mounting them behind the grill again, but then I'd lose the off-axis ability of the lightheads... I dunno though, I'm always thinking of ways to change up my set-up... lol

I completely agree... Thats the slowest flash pattern on the I/O Board, other than Steady... lol But 2 of the SNM E3s between the bumper and tailgate are amber and they will be on a slow as possible flash pattern... Then I still have my Custom CON-3 T/A that still need to me mounted in my back window... lol

Are those factory marker lights on the front bottom bumper?

Looks good!

Do you mean the amber lights next to my Fog Lights...? No, they are my DRLs... I switched them from the stock "white" bulb to amber ones... Its an Avalanche thing from another forum...


Thanks

My favorite pattern, SUPER ULTRA MEGA PINWHEEL

I fixed your post so it's more honest. :dielaugh:

Oh that's right. I forgot about that stick. That's gonna look great.


Btw, the M7s are no way too rounded. They'd look great!! If you do decide to mount the ones you have behind the grill, didn't you say you had a pair of LIN somethings for the front intersection? If so, I would worry too much about loosing the off-axis by hiding them behind the grill.

Yeah, I'm still deciding what to do with all the lights I have... lol here's what I have just sitting around


3 Whelen LIN-4s - Blue


2 Whelen LIN-3 - Blue


2 SNM E3s on a SNM Intersection Bracket


2 Feniex Titan Flood T-100s (Probably going to be used as Alley lights, but I want to get a pair of Feniex Titan X-200s for that)


2 Feniex Titan Flood Modules on a Feniex LP Bracket


2 Feniex Titan Flood Modules


SNM Intersection Bracket & E3s

I'm just waiting for the Bull Bar I want to come back in stock, then I can mount the SMN bracket to it and maybe get a custom front plate made... lol The Feniex Bracket w/ Titans will go out back and hooked up to my reverse lights... And depending if I need more light, I'll mount the other 2 Titan Modules between my bumper and tailgate in between the E3s out back... But that may change too...

Awesome rig man. If someone doesn't see you coming or going they need to get retested at the DMV. I also happened to notice in your last pic post...is that a Watson Dispatch Console I see in the background??

Nice to know that our dispatch center isn't the only one with folks who do that.
