I don't have a problem with what you did, I just don't understand why you would spend the time to do it.

I'm not sure about your state, but just putting strobes on your vehicle doesn't make it an emergency vehicle. The only thing your strobes can legally do are make better hazards. Do you take your jeep straight to the call?

I do have a problem with your grammar and punctuation. I understand that this is not an English class but proper writing etiquette helps the people reading your posts.

first off, double post grammar boy , second, lets keep it positive even if he didnt have a "legitimate" reason to have them, they're still cool. Doesnt matter if they serve a purpose or not, as im sure you and everyone else here has done at least one thing to their jeep for no reason at all . It's his jeep, he can center a pole with it if he wants cause its his jeep. So he can do whatever he wants with it

Looks good. I've got them in my fogs on my roof rack. I'm also a member of a volunteer FD and for those asking what the purpose is, it is this. In order to get to the firehouse quicker and on the truck you need to warn people you are coming up behind them that's why we have lights. Mine are blue strobes. Some have white and blue as-well.

I think it's pretty sweet! I wish i had that, even though I'm not in the FD. Even if people say it's "pointless" it shouldn't matter to you. You can personalize your Jeep however you like. As long as it's not 22" spinners
