@beasst94 what are you talking about? The LFL Liberties in use by our sheriff's department have been in use and rotated through vehicles since there initial purchase. LEDs have a life of over 100,000 hours. Your attempt at sounding intelligent has failed you miserably. You're obviously just a jealous idiot, probably under the age of 15 if I had to guess
@beasst94 and then you simply wipe them down with a de-oxiding compound, like sold at auto zone or oreillys for headlights. I install these things professionally and I have never had a problem with clear lenses.
kblazk86 I love your setup and the video is awesome! You should think about installing some additional LED lights in your grill and Bumper!! Check out my video on my channel of my 2007 Dodge Ram and let me know what you think!!!
I have been interested in buying this lightbar, but want to use a code 3 controller like yours. How did you wire this up without the provided controller?
I LOVE all the comments "in my state....where i come from". WELL...CLEARLY Ohio DOES allow red front. Geez, in Missouri tow trucks have red front, but in MY state nobody except fire/PD/organ runners can have red front.
in what state allows you to use red lights as a volunteer firefighter. only class 1 emergency vehicles can use red lights. volunteer firefighters are only class 3 vehicles and can only use blue lights where i come from. using red lights means that people HAVE to pull over for you
I find your set up tasteful, much better then some. I however don't find running through stop signs tasteful. Especially since a great majority of firefighter fatalities result from accidents while responding from home to the firehouse. Dont put your name on a memorial in Emmittsburg, MD.
Volunteer FD's are true Americana, although a career FF for the last 20yrs. I started as a Volunteer and still have a serious respect for those doing that service. Just don't create more hazards than you are trying to solve, be safe and remember all fires eventually go out.
Love the truck and the lights man SEXY!!!!!!! perfect combination im a volunteer firefighter too and i love mine 09 dodge ram with whelm and code 3 woot!!!!!!
idk about other states...RED=illegal!!!!!! you wackers are suppose to run your corny little blue light....unless its a actual FD vehicle...which that aint...BLUE LIGHT LAW!
what kind of light bar are you running?? my dream bar is the new liberty duo but i aint got that kinda money lol... great setup i really like the look with the bar on the headache rack
Nice setup. A little bit of fiberglass mat/resin/ vinyl you could make one badass center console to make your siren/scanner/switches look almost factory. USERNAME : SWRNC (MY FRIEND PETE) has some good vids on fiberglass work and NO HES NOT A PAID POSTER!!
God bless you guys.... spending more money on your LED light bars than you will ever make responding to calls. Can I see a video of your minitor III??? That would be awesome!!!
hahahaha! LMAO! That's great! Hey what kind of spray in liner do you have? I got a rhinoliner quote and it's more than I want to spend, but went the DIY route before and would prefer a pro job.
@MedicPat i just did a herculiner job took maybe 8-10 hours just prep it good and i compare it to my friends rhino linings same thing if not better and only cost 90$
@sameerxD Assuming your not allowed to speed or break traffic laws yeah its on you if it is found out you broke traffic laws{you want to contact your insurance company and notify them you are running lights on your vehicle, so if you do get in an accident your not totally screwed.} As for lights in NJ you can run as many lights as you want but only run blue.{only top fire personal and cops can use red} States have different laws and some blue is only for cops, so if you travel to another state
@sameerxD check their laws or just take your lights down to be on the safe side. or get LEDs so no-one knows what color they are. your lights could be confiscated and you could get steep fines if you don't. I don't think you can have sirens, but I may be wrong. Goodluck
Oh good to know. Cuz here in SC as well as in FL Blue means Law enforcement, Red is a firefighter (possibly volunteer) and green actually means nothing.
Why did you mount the siren speaker behind the headlight? I have an 06 Ram and the same speaker. I mounted mine on the metal bar between the grill and radiator. It has plenty of room and great sound.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Why do you have to post this anyhow? Being a vol FF is not about how many lights you have on your car but how well you represent and serve your community. Dont be a Whacker!
@coolsax64 we can be just as proud of our vehicles as we are of th job that we serve. you dont have to bash someone because they are proud of their pov. check out my pov!
Beautiful truck and lightbar, you outta grab your self a couple of mini-phantoms for the front and rear windows and some headlight/ tail light hideaways - would look real nice.
2k3SteedaGT i live in soufolk county in new york on long island my dad is cheif and im a probie we are considered unpayed county employes. we volentere because it is the right thing to do
whyd u put all this stuff on yer truck? even volunteer firefighters have real FD trucks to use dont they? is it so u can go help them, if yer not on duty at the time or something? cuz if its not then it doesnt rly make alotta sense to me plz explain
most volly ff dont run shifts but when they get a call everyone goes on it,and usually only captains,lieutinants,asst.chief,and chiefs have fd vehicles to drive.
@rhino2960 when ur a volunteer ur never on duty ur normally out of the station so u respond with lights to get to the station fast get ur gear on and go or u can go strait to the call
Nice setup! I have a 2005 Dodge Powerwagon with led front and rear with a Code 3 MX7000 on top, unfortunately our state statutes make us run amber only in POV's.
Do you know what a firefighter is?...do you know what "volunteering" means? I'm pretty sure a 2 year old could figure out what a volunteer firefighter does...he volunteers to help fight fires. Jesus christ..
Hey an, very clean... I like your setup! I am a volunteer out of new orleans/baton rouge area I love it! I also work offshore so I enjoy being able to volunteer when Im on land!
Thats not a "ham" radio so to speak. It is a commercial radio, some of which can be used on amateur frequencies like 2 meters, 440mHz, an 800 mHz...In this case he is using the radio as a public service radio receiver, or scanner. Most commercial radios are programmed for channels, ham radios have a vfo for infinite tuning within a band, as well as programmable channels. CTCSS/PL encoding is basically the same...73
Hey,Looks like a Kenwood 271! That IS a Ham Radio, I own 2 , am a 'ham operator". the ''brother'' to that radio is the TK2170M , commercial mobile.....73s
To spkn07: Yes, we do. Having worked for both a career or "paid" dept and an on call or "volli" dept, I can tell you without hesitation that the level of dedication is 200 times more with the vollies. In the paid dept, all I ever heard was "What do I get out of it" or "I don't get paid for that". With the vollies, it's "What can I do to help". And as for training, it is much more intense with the vollies and much more frequently. At least that is the case with the dept I am with.
So.. do these volunteers go through any kind of academy for ECOV training? Or do they just say hey, throw some lights on your car and drive like your in a pursuit (not specifically this video)
It depends on what state your in and also how big your department is..at my station you have to be a lieutenant, captain, assist. cheif or cheif to run lights are respond to a scene POV.
im not sure why he has amber my only guess is for traffic control his plates say ohio so only lights we're allowed to run in ohio are red and white red and blue is for the cops only
Not true, I have my lights set up with amber in the rear for traffic purposes and it is 100% legal. You are right about the blue for police, however amber is allowed.
ahhh i guess it might just vary from department to department or county to county. I know here in tuscarawas the chief told us we're not allowed to run amber since it's for ODOT workers only so all i have is a red /w white wheeling edge strobe on top of my gagt
very possible it could vary in different counties and departments, but from where I am it is allowed..and most of the rigs and battalions around here run an amber adviser on the rear.
not true! the Ohio Revised Code states: An emergance vehicel shall be equiped with at least 1 rotating or flashing light.. thats the end of the section. it dont say you can only run red on fire and red and blue on police, you can have as many lights as you want, red or blue!! i am a vol firefighter and a police officer... i know the law!!
yeah i have all kinds of lights on my pov. But in t-county we're only allowed to run red and white only law enforcement are allowed to run red and blue least that's what the one book on ohio law's about lights and sireans said yeah the engines are allowed to run red and blue but not pov i dont know what year that book was from but that's what my chief read from it *shrugs* maybe it was a book from the 70's or earlyer i dunno i am just going by what i was told
@ pearsonff--you are gonna get a mix of comments on this...in my jurisdiction- a pov in not classified as a Emergency Vehicle, pov's can only run blue lights with no siren unless they are either chief,asst chief or a officer then they can run red lights with a siren..
Really makes me miss the days I did POV response and had a lightbar.. mostly the driving scenes you showed, reminded me of the 3am calls when there were almost no cars on the road, and could actually almost enjoy the drive... but I have to say, some secondary lights really help... I come from the halogen rotor days, but more than one level of lighting always went a long way for us.. (of course not that texas drivers care anyhow, people hardly pull over to let ANY emv pass, much less pov).
well in ohio you are allowed to have all red or red and white lights and sirens. we are not allowed to have blue lights in your personal car we are allowed to run code to the station
ffhamburg192 this is in response to your qustions diffrent states have diffrent laws about personal vehicals for example here in pennsilvaniya were i live we are allowed to use blue lights if we are regular firefighters the blue represents "please get out of my way" but if you are a fireline officer you are allowed to use red lights and sirens and by law you are considered an emergancy vehical so people have to move
also please excuse my spelling ang puncuation a just got a fire call
Hey, the swich between the manual and air horn is for if you have the siren hooked up to your actual steering wheel horn. If you hook it up, when you press the horn in your vehicle, it will cause whatever the swich it pushed too.
nice lights dude, im a volley out of texas. my pov is a 95 4runner with hide away bar on the front, led slim bar on the back, siren hooked up to a pa, wig wags in my side running lights and then i run with my hazards on, these guys need to stfu, i work with both volleys and paid guys and everyone of them is just as good as the other, one just does it solely for the love of service, pov lights when used responsibly save lives, before anyone talks trash think about who will have your back....
beautiful set up!

why in the world do you have amber and clear? why not throw red and blue all over that with Code 3 clearance from the state?
Im guessing its a state regulation for volunteers?
MA6thMan 2 years ago
yah it varies by state (and district)
Grnday5mcr 2 years ago
its red and clear you idiot
jchumbley05 2 years ago
im not sure why he has amber my only guess is for traffic control his plates say ohio so only lights we're allowed to run in ohio are red and white red and blue is for the cops only
99GPSE 2 years ago
Not true, I have my lights set up with amber in the rear for traffic purposes and it is 100% legal. You are right about the blue for police, however amber is allowed.
blackstang2k6 2 years ago
ahhh i guess it might just vary from department to department or county to county. I know here in tuscarawas the chief told us we're not allowed to run amber since it's for ODOT workers only so all i have is a red /w white wheeling edge strobe on top of my gagt
99GPSE 2 years ago
very possible it could vary in different counties and departments, but from where I am it is allowed..and most of the rigs and battalions around here run an amber adviser on the rear.
blackstang2k6 2 years ago
not true! the Ohio Revised Code states: An emergance vehicel shall be equiped with at least 1 rotating or flashing light.. thats the end of the section. it dont say you can only run red on fire and red and blue on police, you can have as many lights as you want, red or blue!! i am a vol firefighter and a police officer... i know the law!!
druman32 2 years ago
yeah i have all kinds of lights on my pov. But in t-county we're only allowed to run red and white only law enforcement are allowed to run red and blue least that's what the one book on ohio law's about lights and sireans said yeah the engines are allowed to run red and blue but not pov i dont know what year that book was from but that's what my chief read from it *shrugs* maybe it was a book from the 70's or earlyer i dunno i am just going by what i was told

@druman32
Are POV's even legally classified as emergencyresponse vehicles? In Canada they are not and have to adhere to all traffic laws.
pearsonff 2 years ago
@ pearsonff--you are gonna get a mix of comments on this...in my jurisdiction- a pov in not classified as a Emergency Vehicle, pov's can only run blue lights with no siren unless they are either chief,asst chief or a officer then they can run red lights with a siren..

Really makes me miss the days I did POV response and had a lightbar.. mostly the driving scenes you showed, reminded me of the 3am calls when there were almost no cars on the road, and could actually almost enjoy the drive... but I have to say, some secondary lights really help... I come from the halogen rotor days, but more than one level of lighting always went a long way for us.. (of course not that texas drivers care anyhow, people hardly pull over to let ANY emv pass, much less pov).
todkapuz 2 years ago
Nice, could use a few strobes but still good effort. Secondary LEDs never hurt either. Wig wags and a spot is always helpful. Hope you have EVOC.

ffhamburg192 this is in response to your qustions diffrent states have diffrent laws about personal vehicals for example here in pennsilvaniya were i live we are allowed to use blue lights if we are regular firefighters the blue represents "please get out of my way" but if you are a fireline officer you are allowed to use red lights and sirens and by law you are considered an emergancy vehical so people have to move
also please excuse my spelling ang puncuation a just got a fire call

I've got a few questions.
Im from germany, and our firefighter arent allowed to have Lights on our private vehicles.
first question:
Are you also entitles to use sirens?
Does the car have any emergency equipment?
Do you respond to the Emergency direktly or do you respnd to the fire Station to assign the fire trucks?
I hope you guys understand my english and someone can answer the questions :)
regards
ffhamburg192 2 years ago
Some states allow the use of sirens w/ lights but most "lights only" rules.
It must be visible 360 degrees.
Some places respond directly to scene others to the station.
Some people have axes, etc in their trucks.

hey i have the same siren, what dose the switch between the manual and air horn do?
NPFDExplorer93 2 years ago
Hey, the swich between the manual and air horn is for if you have the siren hooked up to your actual steering wheel horn. If you hook it up, when you press the horn in your vehicle, it will cause whatever the swich it pushed too.

nice lights dude, im a volley out of texas. my pov is a 95 4runner with hide away bar on the front, led slim bar on the back, siren hooked up to a pa, wig wags in my side running lights and then i run with my hazards on, these guys need to stfu, i work with both volleys and paid guys and everyone of them is just as good as the other, one just does it solely for the love of service, pov lights when used responsibly save lives, before anyone talks trash think about who will have your back....
