How you doing and thanks for watching. This is George here at Wicked Warnings. Remember, we're your number
one source for construction and emergency safety strobe lighting equipment for cars, vans, trucks,
buses, SUVs, CRCs, bicycles, tricycles, wood chippers, dump trailers, wheelchairs, and specifically 2020
and 2021 F-250 Super Dutys, just like this one right here. This is a new build, so I wanted to
do something a little bit different for it. We're featuring our classic Mini Bar. That's a 23-inch size
on an Acari Drill-Free Mount right on the top there. That's a damage-free installation that
holds a Mini Bar on the top of the truck. I'll show you more on that. What you can see in the grille
is our Wicked Slick Stick. That's a four head module right there, the four head stick right there. It's
set on one of our many patterns. That pattern you can see kind of bounces between a couple of amber
and white patterns. You can set that stick in the grille to go all amber. You can set it to go all
white. You can set it to go amber and white, like we have here, and you can also make that stick steady
flood white like a work light if you want. Now we didn't use that feature on this build. Customer had
no use for it, so we're just using an alternating amber-white pattern. The thing about- the thing
I like the most about this stick installation is sometimes on these trucks the grilles have to come
off for service and when you wire up a bunch of lights to the grille, that becomes problematic if
you don't put quick connects in there for the mechanic. The way that we mounted that grille stick,
you can see in the photos, we were able to remove just a little bit of the grille plastic and slide
that stick right in the slot of the grille. It's mounted to the core support behind the grille
so it was a little persnickety getting the bolts in there. I had to clean some stuff out.
I did use a 90 degree air grinder and the pictures will show, but that way,
the stick is mounted to the support and the grille headlights all can be removed without
even affecting the stick. So if it has to go in for service and the grille and the headlights need to
come off, there's no worries. That stick will stay right where it is. Here you can see that Acari
Drill-Free Mount. You're gonna lose exactly three and one half inches of height from the bottom of
your roof, right here, bottom of the mount top of the roof, to the top of the light bar, 3.5 inches.
Obviously, if you've got these little humps on the roof, they already take up some space
but this number right here, everybody asks, 3.5 inches is what that height is.
You can see there how that bolts up behind the third brake light. I've got a very informative
video that we're gonna link right now about how to assemble that mount, about how to run the wiring
for that mount, about how to mount the light bar on that mount. We got videos for everything, so I'm
gonna put links into all of them and let me pull this forward and show you a little bit about what
we did on the back end. Alright, there's a little close-up of that grille. Let me shut it down for you.
A little closer shot. You can see how it's mounted there. We did need to remove some
of the slots here. We did it with a hacksaw blade, very easy. Of course, mine's an air powered hacksaw
blade but you don't need air power, and as I said, the bolts are bolted in like this.
There's your front shot, looks oh so good. Let me back up a little bit. Oh yeah, there's the one
right there. That's the money shot. Very very cool. I like it a lot, turned out real nice.
Alright, badge lights, everybody loves them, everybody wants them. That's a Thin-X LIN series.
It's mounted this way. I usually use a small piece of plastic or a small speed clip behind the badge
to hold the screw. This badge is held on by some metal clips by Ford, here, here, here, here, and here,
and they are a pain in the ass. So you will need a long pick set, the real long pick set,
something like these. These are my favorite tools in the world for taking off these badges,
plastic pry bars, long pick set, and I'm not going to lie, a lot of times I got a plastic pry bar in
each hand and I got a pick in my mouth, just saying. It's a little persnickety. Have fun with that one,
but as you see, totally worth the work. Alrighty, around the back of the truck, we are featuring
again that little Mini Bar on the roof, 23 inch permanent mount is what that one is on the Acari Mount once again.
Underneath the tailgate, our popular Thin-X Strip.
That again, is available in amber-white, as you see, but you can select it to flash all amber,
flash all white, flash a combination of amber and white, like you see, as well as a steady white.
You be quiet. Quit interrupting my video doggy.
So you can set that light up however you like. I dim the ISO just a bit
here so you can see the color combination a little bit better. We really like that light
under the tailgate. It's up to you if you want to trim the little plastic lip off of the step pad.
We trim it on certain trucks, other trucks we don't. It really is an owner's choice, so we always let the
owner decide. This truck is a working truck. It's going to be doing signage repairs all across the
city, so it'll be on the side of the road a lot, so we want maximum warning. So we did the trim on this
one to just give you a little bit more viewing angle. It's not entirely necessary but it does help.
Here you can see how the badges are taking care of the whole back half of this truck.
I set those badges on an aggressive pattern because there's not a lot on
the sides of this truck as far as warning, so I wanted to make sure that the badgers were doing
their job. They're on a fast flash alternate full illumination amber-white. It's not a split
like the tailgate pattern is, but you can get that on the badge lights if you want. We just set
it on a full flash, full fast alternation, full color, both colors, amber-white back and forth.
Again, because this is a fleet build, multiple people may be driving this truck. We kept it
very simple with a three-quarter round switch, amber illumination, and a nice tag says flashers
right here on the left side of the steering wheel. That way, everybody can see it when they're driving
the truck. You can see right there, definitely shows up real nice right above the headlight switch.
So thanks again for watching Wicked Warnings. This is your number one source for construction
and emergency safety and strobe lighting equipment, new product development, and all kinds of fun stuff
for bicycles, tricycles, pickup trucks, cars, SUVs, big trucks, medium trucks, wheelchairs, high chairs,
dump trailers, wood chippers, anything you want, bring it on in and we will put some
auxiliary stuff all over it. Thanks again for watching, we'll see you on the next video.
