Official "Whacker" or "Screwed Up Install" Thread
- Thread starter HPD84

I can't even fathom why any company makes a full white/clear interior bar... seems very useless to me. And based on the fact that everything to the front is clear and the rear looks like clear and amber I'd say they have no affiliation with any official public safety agency.
It also pisses me off that people like this exist when there are real people involved in public safety who can't afford quality equipment.

Wow are those w/w TIR6 Slimlighters? Also can anyone make out the plates of the surrounding vehicles?

Some southern states only allow white for vollies. Doesn't make much sense, but then again neither does the whole blue for law enforcement red for everyone else. Not as silly-stupid as New York's, but hey everyone needs a whipping boy - then again the northeast already has New Jersey.foxtrot5 said:

Which states? You are going to need to back that up with a state law..... it is true that volunteers are forced to use "unregulated colors" on their POVs in some states...including white/clear.... but specifically requiring white I have never seen nor heard of.

Skip to 10:00 in the video. Saw this whacker on a local cable channel recently as I was channel surfing one morning. Black and white CVPI with push bumper, HLF, HAWS, and an amber Whelen Guardian minibar on the roof. For what group it's for, I don't really know, but I believe the HLF and HAWS are illegal in ND if it isn't a Class A emergency vehicle.
Oh, and after you are done observing the whackmobile, check out 0:06 to 1:03, 6:21 to 7:28, and 15:51 to 16:42 for the REAL emergency vehicles

Maybe it's an Escort Vehicle? I see something on the "C" Pillar but can't make it out. That's my only guess, lol.

Mmmm... yeah... Could be an old city car used for liaison or something else, people-mover like.
They wouldve left some of the emergency gear as it's used in specific events, yet removed the police-related markings.
It's really impossible to say, but I doubt it's private security, and I can see a use for such an old ride for a small town council.

This is why I have a job. Customer said his 9m bar acted up occasionally while at a scene.
Yes, I see the problem. He only wrapped the wire around the eye six or seven times. To do it properly the wire needs to be wrapped at least 12 times. Then secured with a good quality painters tape.

Good guess.... Another NYS guy here just opened a thread for a 2012 Silverado with a similar G/B front setup...
