ahh yes. i may be a Whacker.but when the other wackers/(some legit business who plow) come up to me and say were did ya get dem fancy lights from i can sau well i sell em . and they say how much and then they say have anything cheaper i say no. and then explaine why i cosy a little more than lets say aw direct and stuff. and if you notice the meter i least do road service as well on plow and sand trucks

as for the keys. i was at Field day in the back field of one of the club members who also run CSP radio system. i dont think any one would just come up and steal it with out about 10 guys seeing whats going on.

what do you want to know about the tool box/back rack

that is a very common here in ct. back rack with the big C-Channel mounts with the UDS tool box and the back Rack ligh bar mounts

well i did not flush mount them for a reson that yaesue is a deep radio and has fan on the bottom so i wanted the air space.

plus that console is 45 degree at the bottom so it has to stick out a little. plus when the arm rest is down i can dial the knob very easly by restin my arm on the arm rest when i am runnin 6m ssb mobile

I'll contribute to that. If I could find a radio that would do 42mhz, 39mhz, 154/155mhz,uhf and 800 trunking, plus the body wire and home detention cuff freqs and cell phone, I'd have one. But since I can't then I guess I'm a Wacker too.

ask cowthief, he has one. and it's front panel programmable with the Indictor encryption option, but the RSS is Arabic-only and can only be programmed on alternating weekdays.

Don't tell the Sheriff. He'll think he needs one, and then I'll have to find it.
Maybe I can convince him that it isn't compatible with the magnetic resonance encountered in his Expedition unless we can install a mass-particle inverter that uses 3phase metric current.

That install is sexy as hell, the other pic....well......

I think this would be a good time for a caption contest. My thought is "Pimpin' ain't easy..."

Seriously though, very professional looking work, the truck looks fantastic.

Hey Kit --

Is the console mounted directly to floor or on a plate?

I just ordered one for my '01 Silverado, but the Company (Southwest Public Safety) forgot the faceplates, and now I have to order them elsewhere.

Anyway, wanted to know as I am looking to do something similar with my truck.

Looks good!

What part of CT are you from, I could've sworn I've seen your truck around before. I'm from the Manchester area. I have a 2004 F-350 DRW, and just had a Spectra A7 UHF installed in it. Doesn't look as good as yours though :)

I did that once myself on 9 as well when the truck was in full USSS mode. Late at night all I thought was....There could only be one person with a truck like that running amber cruise in this part of the world... :o
