Supposedly heavy duty flashers will work but they make flasher units specificly for leds. Towards the bottom of this page http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...rake-turn.html they have them

Well I would think the rear side Windows would work best.

I firmly agree. Im all for carrying all the time and especially loaded but my rule of thumb if its loaded and its not in my direct line of sight or can be immediately secured by me, say I leave my vehicle with any gun rack or cage if someone truly wants those firearms they will find a way to get them from you the moment your not looking. I say carry loaded to the teeth but in your line of sight n responsibility sorry just wanted to comment, Im a lifetime NRA member so I feel very strongly about my right to bare arms but as safely as possible!

After I installed the LED's, I didn't have the money for an electronic flasher until next payday, so I thought I'd try and find a way to get it to work with what I had laying around, and if that didn't work I'd buy the flasher anyway. Found a thing online telling how to make it work and tried it. Was a post meant for vehicles that no one makes an electronic flasher for. Explained how to trick the flasher into thinking it has more going thru it. Grind down the silver metal till it flashes correctly. Mine is almost paper thin.

You can get load equilizers dirt cheap to fix that issue. Back when i helped my cousin do it they were like 6 bucks.

Didn't look too hard for 'em, but the ones I saw were more than that. This was free...

the gun rack goes one on rear side window and one on rear door window. works good seat belts give it some pressure to keep guns secure but i also use a bungee to strap em down. on back glass if you open hatch guns will fall out... plus its too narrow for my long guns.
