Hopefully you guys don't have the problems with the ones we had...we had tranny problems left and right.

Which model number did you guys have?

Couldn't tell you...it's been waaay too long ago...IE back in 2002. Still have a really sucky turn radius...but still cool nonetheless.

Pretty much all I've had to do to these units, is arrange to get them painted and get the electronics installed. The M-998 is all set as far as the electronics go, now it just needs to be lettered. The M-1123 is lower on the priority list for having electronics added.

I like the tir6s on the Fiberglass one. What the lighting package gunna be on the armoured one

Also curious how'd you mount the speaker the the grille? Bail bracket maybe

The LED's we used are Strobes N' more E6's .... http://www.strobesnmore.com/Strobes.....Super-LED.html
The flood lights are Strobes N' more EFlood 2500's.... http://www.strobesnmore.com/Strobes.....ood-Light.html

I was able to convince the powers that be, it was much more practical to use multi voltage LED's then to re-tread some old strobes and have to purchase a power inverter.

As far as the siren goes, the driver was a special order Whelen unit that was set up for 24 volt. It didn't cast anymore then the normal 12 volt model, we just had to wait for it. And yes all we did was use the bail and ran it around the vertical portions in the grill, to secure the speaker.


Stay Safe and CY6

Oh OK..I got a few e6 mounted on my truck along with many other whelen and code3 lights. As a installer I really like the set up. Although please tell.me you didn't split the light heads and that you kept them solid. Split heads are a huge pet peeve of mine.

Any chance you could get a video. Seems like a really nice set up.

Very much agree with you though. LEDs are the way to go. Strobes require a power supply. And also replacement tubes cost just as much as an e6 head. LEDs got longer life and are considerably brighter.

Well I'm heading back to camp cop at 4am tomorrow, but I'll see if I can get some video next weekend when I go to the station.

And no they aren't split... they're solid colors.

Oh thank god ian installer who knows what the heck they're doing! Lol

Can't say as I'm gonna stand up and cheer for the armored unit; I thoroughly disapprove of the militarization of civilian public safety organizations...

So no reason for swat teams right? Naw no need for them when stuff like the Boston bombings happened or when a bunch of guys with ak47s rob a bank in LA and get involved in a shoot out with Leos.

No need for ENTIRE POLICE DEPARTMENTS to go SWAT, which is what's happening. I live in a smallish town, low crime rate, and the cops look like they're ready for riots to break out at any time. That ain't right.

I've found that more often than not a simple change of clothes is all that is. Departments switching to BDU style clothing for functionality and comfort of the officer. More often than not the equipment that the officer carries as not changed.

Switching to BDU styles provides an officer more mobility less for an offender to grab (is. Badges, name pins, and other decorative sharp objects) switching has helped officer safety by having all pertanint info sewn into their uniforms. Cops equipment hasn't changes. They still carry a gun. Handcuffs. Taser. Pepper spray a baton and extra ammo. Its just their clothing that has. And it was changed to make an officers job easier and more comfortable.

I don't buy it. They can do the same thing with uniform shirts and trousers. BDUs mean paramilitary, plain and simple. (Source: friends who are active and retired police officers.)

Personally I disagree. However you have your opinion. Me personally I don't see the clothing change as militarization. From officers I've spoken to they have said the bdus are more comfortable and make The job easier.
Also thank you for debating respectfully :)

Looks like the Beast and the Monster have company!

Here's hoping the most work they get to is fetch groceries and drive in parades.

Though... paint one of them tawny and it might just get claimed by a particular lion...

Thankfully the up-armored one will remain in a garage, where it won't break down due to being ridiculously overloaded and use up twice the fuel.

Has your town been sent an MRAP yet? They keep on showing up in bizarre places because the military is casting them off and anyone who signs up can have one, no matter if they have 3,000 or 3,000,000 people in their town.

Hey those cleaned up nice!! Need a bumper sticker on the back, 'We Brake for Nobody'
