I have a yakima rail system installed on my campershell with the aero style cross bars (so not round). My want, is to install a lightbar to the rail for the time being, until I get a rack to mount up there more permanently.
I have been looking for mounts and universal mounts to make this work and so far the ones that look like they should work all have really shitty reviews and look to be easily loosened. Does anyone have anything they would recommend that has worked? Or am I just kind of sol until I can get a full rack up there?
I have a dominator 8 lin6 I recently acquired. I’m planning to mount it inside my camper shell on my tundra. I believe the wires are 20 gauge on the dominator, I’m planning to run them and the pattern change wire to a whelen avenger cigarette switch that I believe is 22 gauge. I’m going to use 18 gauge wire to go between the two as the plug has maybe 1 foot of wire and the bar has maybe 2 feet. Is this a bad idea? I know you usually don’t want a smaller wire feeding a bigger wire. I know the plug has a fuse, but I plan to put another inline fuse at the bar too for easy access. Just don’t want to burn the light up and especially don’t want to burn my truck up! Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I have a Whelen Liberty lfl SW8AAAA and I’m not sure what I need to get it up and running. I’ve seen some stuff about using a Whelen PCCS9LW or a Whelen WCC9, but I’m not sure of what I need. The bar only has 6 wires in 2 sets the first being power with the positive, negative, and what I assume is a ground with the second set being a green, grey, and bare wire. I just need to know what I need in order to make this thing work.
Any ideas
Background: I manage a fleet of vehicles used for personal protection… Is there a way to upfit a vehicle with a full size magnetic light bar BUT have a waterproof connection or port that can be terminated on the roof to remove the light bar when not wanted??
Want the vehicle to be lit up and noticeable when needed but also look like a normal vehicle on the road when it’s not needed.
I feel like it’s an easy kill… but maybe I’m not thinking from another perspective!
