  7. I actually have a question... Why do ambulances have chevrons? Drivers of abmulances are taught to park the bus out of traffic. Even on a MVA, a Fire truck will usually block a ambulance from traffic. It seams that there is no need for them. I am all for safety and I think it does look interesting but do the chevrons really do their job? here are some pics for thought...

  13. Thank you guys for the kind comments. I really do appreciate it! I decided I would post some more. But I promise, this is it.
  14. Thank you! But you call that little thing a boat? It is more of a raft. I have a little glimpse of it here, but I did not go between the rigs to look at it. I do regret no going closer. Was that you in the white shirt?

  17. The best place for inspiration would be Elightbars, just like bullseye said. If you want more ispiration, check out some install pics. Maybe check out Odyssey Auto or Specialty Warning Systems.
  18. What are you looking for? If you are from new mexico, i have no idea what the light laws are out there. Gear should be kept out of the way but easily accessible.
