First Gen Pickup Police Spotlight
« on: Sep 12, 2011, 09:29:53 AM »
Was wondering if anyone has a a police spotlight installed ont their first gen?  I have a few and i wanted to install them.  My concern is that the A pillar will be too small and thin.  Was wondering what you guys think?

Not going on the roof. its the A pillar or not at all.  I think i will be able to make it last.  My question to you is, do you think the pillar is big enough to mount it on?

i think they sell a kit for it......

i am sure the a pillar is strong enough, i have had the roof cout off before, and it is multiple layers of steel in a small space.... really thick

Mine was mounted on the pillar, no problems.  Now its just a gaping hole under the exo.

In your first gen?  Could you have built the exo around it?

Make sure you use that in the woods during hunting season that really impresses the cops.

Haha a brake light switch to turn those guys off.  With a light to tell when they are off.  Busting gates, I remember the good old days
