So it's been awhile since this thread has been updated but nothing too major has taken place. As you can see from my previous posts today, the biggest add-on has been emergency vehicle equipment. I use the equipment for work and side jobs. On top of work, my buddy and I do emergency vehicle lighting installs on the supply. Everything on my vehicle is amber and white thus 100% legal, including the strobes in the rear.
General Comments:
I have about $650 in lighting and audible warning. As you can see from my previous posts today, the biggest add-on has been emergency vehicle equipment. I use the equipment for work and side jobs. On top of work, my buddy and I do emergency vehicle lighting installs on the supply. Everything on my vehicle is amber and white thus 100% legal, including the strobes in the rear. The siren tones get used on private property as does the PA. However, the air-horn, being 100% road legal, does get used on the road seeing as I don't a have functioning OEM horn. If anyone has any questions about pricing, model numbers, where I get my stuff and possible instals for their own rigs, feel free to contact me.
Each pictures caption is above it's respective picture
Every light is run off of this Speedtech Lighting (STL) switch. The left most switch runs all the front lights, the middle switch is a momentary switch which I'm going to hook up to the intersectors to switch between flash mode and steady burn and the right most switch runs the rear lights.
Full walk-around video:
With the video, some of the lighting heads flash faster than the iPhone's alotted frame rate so thats why it doesn't come through such as with the strobes in the rear.

Well, just another minor update. That winch I won at Jeep Beach in Daytona is finally on (smittybuilt X2O 8000lbs). Got an RLC Fab winch bumper or the winch to sit into. I must say, rlc turns out a kick **** product. I'm leaving for Florida State University this Saturday, 17 AUG, and just have some minor things on my to do list before the 7 hour haul: adj trac bar, oil and filter change, drain and add new tranny fluid and drain and add diff fluids.

Have fun at FSU. I worked in Tallahassee for years. Great town! Watch your lights and sirens up there. Cops in the north don't take kindly to them.
