In that video, I believe, the word "unmarked" means not an emergency vehicle, not used for response, and used to pose as someone your not. Hahahahahahanightwolf said:

Not to mention that in one of his videos he tells us all about how is old man is Fire Chief or something like that. I kind of want to go comment one of his videos and say something to the effect of "Hello, whacker!"
PS: Chargers are nice rides
Edit: I probably shouldn't be so harsh on the guy. I am sure he's a good FF and all and does his area a great service. Still, the car is a bit, erm, interesting.

Check out this video. Guy used electrical tape to mount his rear lightbar to the truck rack...???

I'm guessing he spent all of his money on the Liberty bar and all those other lights and could not afford to fab up a proper mount for the Strobes-n-More e46. :crazy:
And what a whacktastic collection of warning lights on that pickup! I would think the Liberty, with all its lighting and functions, would be more than sufficient for a POV. :duh:

Just browsing around youtube and stumbled across this gem:
looks like overkill lighting to me... especially that bright blue rear bar - so bright it even reflects in the camera... i sure would not want that guy pullin in front of me on the highway while i'm 5km/h under the speed limit and turning on the rear lights...

What do you mean? The ICOM IC2100 among many other radios use the RJ45 connector for their mic port, very few (that I know of) still use the huge TRS plugs. RJ-45 and Cat 5+ cabling is great to use for a multitude of applications, and the radio industry knows it. The ICOM IC2100 as case in point uses #3 and #6 for voice out and voice in, which is good because those are a twisted pair (green wires). PTT switch (#4) and ground (#7) are not switched and are not a twisted pair (one wire on two different twisted pairs each), however. The other four pins are unused on this radio, but not necessarily on others.erikn said:
He has a shitton of lights on there including a fully populated liberty, so his statement regarding his "few lights" and desire to purchase more alone constitutes the whacker, but I'd say this is probably the best recent vehicle in the thread. As for the white to the rear, it's two three lamp light heads mounted low to the ground, I think it's actually pretty well done.hawkspringsfire said:

I don't know what to say here... but..... Includes reflective warning safety tape around base!
Just think guys, you could buy a pretty good halogen lightbar for that price!

I thought the whole point of a slide switch was so you didn't have to press 20 buttons to turn everything on. Seriously, he needs TWO switch boxes to handle the functions that should be on the slider? With everything he has, he needs a maximum of 5 switches total, 6 if he were to have one for 1 pair in the rear flash. And the electrical tape is just stupid, spend $20 on the right mount.
And what's with the red lights and no siren?

I recall the rear deck looking like a mess. e.g. Crooked. Is it even mounted right if at all? I don't want to watch the video again and/or listen to that ridiculous sound! If I'm right, you forgot that too.

I didn't even have to see it in the video to know that was a Dashlaser. Loud as sin. Owned one once, it sounded like that, promptly ditched it for a Firebeam. The only way I'd own another was if it's sole purpose were sitting pretty on my collection shelf.
