Here is what the console will look like. Gives you an idea.


What do you guys think?

 

You might want to consider moving the antenna wires to the bottom side of the third brake light. Running them down through the top is more likely to let rain water run down into your interior. Here's how I ran the wiring for my quick connect light bar:

 

What I am going to do is silicone the surround on the brake light. I like your install though.

 

That should help. Many folks have had problems with leaking third brake lights on the '04 and up trucks. And these are folks who haven't even messed with them. If you do seal it with RTV / Silicone, I've found that masking tape can be your biggest friend in making it look professional around the edges.

 

cool stuff its always fun to have gadgets in a truck!

and howdy from another texan

 

Looks good, but not practical to use while driving, since the lid will be in the way..

 

Threw on some silicone today since I am going to a Volvo GTG in Austin on Saturday. Need to wash the truck and didn't want to risk flooding out the headliner .

Nice to see yet ANOTHER fellow Texan on the board. Does the Austin/ San Antonio area ever have any F150 GTG's?

 

The lid will not need to be opened to change siren tones and the external mic will be accesible with the lid shut.

 

Are you just using a basic siren or one with built in light controls?? How do u plan on wiring the strobes??

This is the siren I am running:



That is why I ask..

 

I am a Whelen boy, I bought the 295hfsm with the mechanical q



I will have a switch panel built into the console.

The strobes are in the future, but can you elaborate on your question.

 

look what came in My friend isn't too happy about it residing in his living room though :P

 

If his is like mine then it has a horn ring so you use the horn on the steering wheel to activate it...

 

Nice home theater set up

 

Mine as well uses a horn ring.

Bad news on the grille guard.... does not fit my 2007. Working with Ranch Hand to purchase a new one.
