Scanners...CB's...emergency lights?
Anybody install any aftermarket electrical stuff? Being on the Rescue Squad and FD I have lots of stuff I need to install and was wondering if anyone has done anything yet? Looking for good spots to mount and good places to tap into power. Let me know if anyone has any ideas. Also anybody have instructions on how to take out the headlights?

Yeah i have the cobra cb with the controls on the mic from my old rig. I'll be finding a place to install come friday. As for antennas...I was thinking about going with the dual whips. I was contemplating getting a back rack when I pick up my toolbox. That way I can mount all my lights and antennas and what not. But idk how the back rack will look. Anybody have one?
As for strobes...what are you going to be using them for? I have some hideaway led's for sale. Which are 10x better than strobes. But if you really want strobes...there essentially all the same. 90w are a bit brighter than 60w and either 4 or 6 outlet, thats about the only differences. Is one brand better than another? Not really imho.

CB and antenna
As for the antenna, they have quick release mounts so you can put it on and off easily. Dual antennas require a certain distance between them to be effective. It has been a VERY long time since I messed with any of that. Our trucks might have the body width to do it, but I really don't remember how far it was supposed to be. Someone had tried it on their Jeep before and had problems. A forum member with knowledge explained how it worked and needed distance, but I don't know how much.

I had a pair of Whelen strobes in the headlights and taillights on my '05. I used to buy/sell used cars and it was helpful when loading up vehicles on the side of the road - really makes people avoid you more than when you've just got lights on. Sometimes I'm picking up or dropping off packages and I'm not stopped in the best of places or just been in a few situations where I wish I had them. Just don't really want to spend what I spent on the last set.
