    I appologize for taking so long. The pictures have been on my phone just haven't uploaded them. Here are two quick snaps of the Jeep. It was a Rubicon 4x and we sold the hard and soft tops at an auction and cut the frame, used our spreaders to open it up wider, and built the 'Brute Force' package on it. Highschool students at a Technology Center built the tank and we piped the pump and booster line.

    We always put cartoon charectors on there so you see Brutus from popeye wrapping a hydrant and a 'Brute Squirell' on the back, Squirrel was a guy from our dept that died of brain cancer and it was a Brute Force kit like i said.

    It'll still boogy down the interstate and through the fields. We've had it burried up to the diffs in muck and cruising 110 on the interstate.

    notice all the 5 inch in the first picture? 1500 feet that didn't pass hose testing. Yeah, and all it did was ride around on the truck because 9/10 times we pump truck to truck with 2-3 inch lines from a dump tank.

    Well I might be putting on my lights or selling them.

    Think it voids my warranty if its a emergency vehicle... I have the 100k mile warranty.

    Grill lights will require to make some sort of bracket to hold them behind it. Wiring it would be as easy as 1 wire into the cab for 12v+ from the switch and ground the lights near the lights themselves and tie your sync wires. For the rear you're tints are going to make the leds almost useless, either mouth on front of bed towards cab or down by lisence plate or on tool box if you have one.

    If you have a 1st Gen, some LED lights are narrow enough to fit in between the vertical slots in your grill, I put mine there, and used zip ties to hold them in place.. you can't even see the ties.

    On the back.. I'm mounting some on the sides and back of my toolbox, as well as making a license plate bracket for 2 more.

    I have yellow strobes drilled into the bottom of my reverse lights. Eventually I will have Linz6's in the front grill.
    Strobesnmore.com has good prices.

    I just had an emergency lighting solution installed on my truck. In the front is a whelen inner edge linz6 amber light bar. The rear has a whelen dominator plus linz6 8 lamp traffic advisor. Down each side are three linz6 amber lights. All the lights are controlled though two switches in the cab. One is the on/off and the other selects between the dominator patterns of: left, right, split and flash
