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

Exactly... keeps me from going insane... My shift is one of the slowest ones so I need something to occupy my time... lol
 
Today I got to get a little more work done on the Av... I got my rear LEDs hooked up and got my extra reverse lights installed and hooked up...


The only issue I ran into was after I got my 4 SNM E3s wired up, i plugged them in to test them and one of the blue E3s didn't work... I tried cycling through the flash patterns thinking maybe it got switched to the off pattern, but nothing happened... So since i have a myriad of lights just laying around, I decided to do a little upgrade and replaces both E3s with Whelen LIN-4s... lol


I also installed my Feniex Titan LP-200 I made (2 Titan modules mounted on a static Feniex LP Bracket), but after I got it installed i didn't like how it looked. So I decided to move the Titan modules to the insides of my inner E3s between my bumper and tailgate... Anyway, here are some pics...

And to prove to certain people (Storm4200 and foxtrot5) here are a pic of the Titans doing their job... lol

And here's a new walk-around vid... Skip to 0:50 to see the rear...

 
All that front and rear warning and nothing for intersection and or side warning?

I'm working on it ASS!!! LoL


With the way my front bumper is recessed in the front license plate area, 75% of the light would be blocked if I just put the intersection bracket on the front... Once I get my new Bull Bar, I'll get the front intersection covered... And I have a cool idea for rear side warning too... lol I'm still debating putting something down by the running boards on each side or not...
 
You know what you really need... a siren! oh, right....
 
Yeah, and...? Did I say I used it for response...? No... I also have a HLF, and flashing TDs... But again, do I use them for response...? No...
Click to expand...

I know you don't use them. I was just puzzled.
 
He likes to think he's special... unlike us normal folks who really can use them! :p
 
i run blues and a siren as well. its a SS2000SM i use it to control every light on my truck. i dont use the siren, but i do have 2 100w speakers. lol
 
Once I get some things settled and sorted out I will be running a Powercall DX5200 in my POV here soon. But for now 2 Grover 1510s do the trick with a 15 gallon tank.
 
I feel like I might have started something....

Yes, it appears you have... lol
 
Anyone else notice how this prick always says "oh I just had all this laying around"....??


If I had a quarter of the equipment he had "just laying around", my ride would be pretty pimped out.


And yet he wonders why we say he's got loads of dough :weird:

Well, I got bored today... And I felt that i needed more lights on the Av... And since I got a sweet ass deal from Chief (Retired1) on a 911EP TDWL36, I decided to throw it in the Av... The tricky part was figuring out how to mount it... But then I remembered this thread: http://elightbars.org/forums/f32/cheap-easy-mount-light-your-headliner-16787/ and boom, it was done...


I know you want pics/vids... Here they are!!!

Coat Hanger, like a BOSS!!! lol its about 10" long so it goes back a good way... Hold solid sitting in the garage. lol It took some force to get it as it is so I don't foresee any issues when traveling... The only thing is now I have to devise a flash shield, so as it sits, its a day time response light only... lol


And now the vids!!!


Just the 911EP:

 
Just what you needed! More front warning. If they can't see you coming, they're not gonna. (Or they're blinded).


I was thinking rear under the tailgate for that.

Just needs a Fireball or similar on the dash and you'll be just about done.

fireballs look great in red (ie NYPD), but i think they look terrible in blue (aqua, teal)

I have 4 SNM E3s (2 amber, 2 blue) and 2 Feniex Titan heads back there... Plus I think this light stick is too deep to fit there without interfering with my tailgate...


I did think about mounting it on top of my T/A in the back window... lol

My original plan was to put this on the dash, but my Cowl Hood would block most of the light stick, and it would block about 1/2 of a rotating dash light plus flashback would suck... lol
 
Well with preparations of getting a new (to me) vehicle, I had to strip down the Av... I took off my grill lights (2 Whelen 600s and 2 Whelen 700s), rear lights (2 Blue SNM E3s, 2 Amber SNM E3s, 2 Feniex Titan Modules),MirrorBeams, T/A and custom alley lights (Custom made Feniex Titan T-300s) a couple months ago. Yesterday I finished the strip-down... I took off my lightbar, plugged and sealed the hole in the roof, removed my Mobile, removed my switchbox and plugged the holes in the floor. I also removed my custom sub box and re-installed the factory mid-gate... the only other factory pieces that need to be re-installed are the roof rack cross bars, the stock hood and stock wheels. It was a sad day to say the least... lol


My current set-up is all removable and run off ciggy plugs... I'm running my custom 27" mini liberty (4 corners, 2 LIN-6s and 2 CON-3s run off of a modified responder flasher) and my 911EP TDWL36.

What's the new to you vehicle going to be? Everything going to transfer over or different set up?
Click to expand...

I have a few ideas in mind... Most likely a full size SUV... As far as the next install, it all depends on what I get...
 
Tis' a sad day to see that beast put out to pasture...
 
Well, i do believe I have the Av sold...  Met up with a guy today that is VERY interested in it...  He'll be going to the bank on Tuesday to see about a loan...  Tis' a sad sad day...  But on the other hand, I'll have a new install to do...  

Here it is all stripped down...

Obviously you can't totally design the layout until you know what vehicle you'll be in but for the sake of discussion are you going back with a similar layout or you changing out light type/locations?

The only thing thats certain is my is going on the roof...  Other than that, I don't really know what I'm going to do...  I have a few ideas for each vehicle though...
