I actually was considering a Whelen Liberty bar for the truck and the idea was shot down.

I like the slicktop look too much.

I am waiting for a 2nd speaker to arrive for the siren to push 200watts at 122db each

I am also ordering tomorrow a traffic adviser type stick for the rear window.

Plans have changed some:
1 Whelen 400 series red led for the front of the grille guard
1 Whelen 400 series clear led for the front of the grille guard
1 red Whelen tir3 for the right side of the grille guard (off axis)
1 clear Whelen lin3 for the right side of the grille guard (off axis)
1 red Whelen tir3 for the left side of the grille guard (off axis)
1 clear Whelen tir3 for the left side of the grille guard (off axis)
2 Whelen Inner beams MADE ESPECIALLY FOR 04-07 f150's WOOOHOO! R/C each
1 red lin3 for rear mounting beside license plates
1 blue lin3 for rear mounting beside license plates
2 (one on each side) red tir 3 for off axis by the running board
4 Whelen strobes


This should be sufficient lighting.

Once the second speaker and rear lighting stick are in, I will post video and pictures if you are interested.

I'd be interested in pictures and videos. I'm looking at one of the cheaper light bars like $500. Doesnt have to get traffic out of my way just warn them if I'm on the side of the road. Never fails every winter I'm pulling multiple people out of ditches or something and last year a lightbar on my bronco actually warned a guy early enough so he didnt rear end me. So I plan on putting one on my F150 for the winter and then off road lights for the summer look. Also plan strobes in the corners and tail lights for extra.

Video of the dominator punching through 5% tint. I have decided against mounting it on the interior it will be mounted on the toolbox instead.

Copeland did you wire in the radio feature on your whelen. I was playing with it this weekend and I think I want to wire it up but I don't know to which speaker...
