Zombie Outbreak Response Vehicle...

[ChunkyMonkey]

Here's a night video of my 2011 Tundra with police lights installed:


I'm working on more lights for the rear of the vehicle and the back left white strobe wasn't working. Have new replacements coming. Will get a day pic of the truck up shortly. This was shot with my Evo camera phone, I guess that's why the offroad lights look yellow even though they're extremely bright white.

I think I had a seizure watching that clip.....

 

[ChunkyMonkey]

Lol......I'm taking it to San Antonio Raceway tonight to run it with the lights.

"...... ahhh......nah man, I didt see no lights, I didt know ya wanted me to stop! " Nice video, that vehicle ought to get you noticed!

 

[ChunkyMonkey]

Lol...can't say you don't see.me.

Is it legal to have that light setup on a non police vehicle? I ask because in FLA I was pulled over due to having two led blue lights above my plate. First question the cop asked was if I was an officer. He then proceeded to let me know impersonating a police vehicle was not cool... (well he said it different). Again, just a question.. cause your setup looks cool

 

[Mexican_Hippie]

Um, zombies are attracted to flashing lights. Do you have sufficient chainsaws on board to go with the lights?

Yes, they're legal - so long as you're not operating them on a public roadway (unless, of course, you're an LEO or otherwise legally authorized)

Honest... I just saw a UFO! It had blink'in lights and looked weird. Just like that there Close Encounters movie...

They're here...

Vehicles can be equipped for "off road use." I use them for off duty police work such as traffic control and road closures. The front does make you feel like you're watching a Japanese cartoon and about to have a seizure, lol.

Since he is a police officer...yes.

Chunky, for lane closures wouldn't you want the bulk of the lights facing to the rear?

Since we are on the subject of lights here ...Is it legal to have the clear blinking strobes in place of the emergency flashers on a
non LEO truck ? Like the ones used the in private construction industry. I asked this because they are much more visible than
the OEM flashers.

Nice! That looks badass!

This guy's a cop who lives in San Antonio. As you can see, he went all out with his personal car. I'm surprised some of you coppers near SA haven't seen his car around.

No. No blue, red or clear. And no alternating flashers.

As a civilian:
You can have white and yellow lights all around.

You can have red lights facing the rear (otherwise some brake lights would be illegal).

Cant have white/clear other than headlights, none of them can flash (regardless of color) in an alternate pattern.

Of course this only applies to the vehicle while it is being operated on a public roadway.

Which makes hazard lights illegal, no?

I think you need to go back and read the laws.

 

[TexasRedneck]

No - because you didn't READ what he said. Try again......s l o w l y . <G>

Alternate pattern. Hazard lights flash simultaneously.

I have never seen hazzard lights that flash alternately. (i.e. left and right lights dont flash together)
