Hello everybody. Thanks for watching. This is George with Wicked Warnings, here with
a very long video, fair warning. This is a big job, a big monster International 4400
for our good friends at Altom Transport. This particular truck is featuring a
whole bunch of lighting, some of which is readily available and some of which is
special order. So what you'll see on this truck, first and foremost, right up front
is our 4-head Wicked Stick. That's displaying an amber only flash pattern
by customer request and we also removed some rather cheesy
AutoZone style fog lights and we've tied in the white steady burn to the factory
fog light switch, which as I said, used to power some cheesy little fog lights. We
removed them. We installed that warning bar and now, when you hit the factory fog
light switch, the warning bar has the flood white option. When the factory fog
light switch is off, of course we return back to our warning mode. That is just
one of the many patterns available on that. Let me show you a little bit more
about what's going on on the front. So as you can see, this truck is quite tall and
with our tripod all the way up, you can just barely see that Whelen Justice
full-size LED bar on the roof. We built this truck exactly how the
customer wanted it. So we've got an all-amber Justice bar on the roof by Whelen.
It's stood up on custom mounts about 8 inches off the roof, so it'll clear that
front factory visor. It also reflects nicely off of the Altom logo on the box.
We've got two previously installed double flash strobe beacons, up on the
top corners of the box that we just wired into the new system because they
were there and they're working. Please pardon my shaky camera. I'm standing up
on a ladder holding the camera so you can see the light bar in the mounts.
Those are some steel mounts we powder-coated black to match the roof.
Stand that light bar up high enough to clear this factory front visor.
This was all done in our house here, Wicked Warnings. Let me show you the side.
Alright, I'm having a little trouble backing up far enough to even
show you everything. We are gonna do some outside shots of this truck later on but
let me go down the sides and tell you what we're looking at.
We've got SoundOff NLine runners underneath the doors. That's a 48-inch, 4 section
underneath each front door. We've also got 10, yes 10, of our TIR-3's on the
back box, 3 on the top, 2 on the bottom and we're featuring our 28-inch
Thin-X Strip in only amber flash. We've got quantity 4 on the back. We've got
2 facing sideways on the box and 2 facing backwards on the box corners.
We've also got 2-head Wicked Sticks on the back of the box.
This was built to spec to flash all-amber. We didn't want to do any white, so
we've disabled the white flash on the Thin-X Strip, as well as that front
bumper, as we spoke earlier. We disabled the white flash on that as well. You can
see we've synchronized the top of the box to flash middle-outside and we've
also synchronized the bottom to go along with that. We did not add the last bottom
light because it would have been redundant with the 28-inch Strip on the
back of the box there. Obviously, the driver's side is done exactly the same
as the passenger side but as you can see, it's pretty much right up against
the wall. So I won't be able to show you that at all. Let me show you some of the
back. I get asked this a lot. "Are your lights bright?"
I hope this illustrates. This is our cheapest light, it's a TIR-3 and I hope you can see right here,
yes they're bright. Now it's a direct on shot and even all the way up there, you
can see how bright they are. So yes, our lights are extremely bright. As you can
see around the front here, how well that strip works underneath the
door. This particular truck, as you can read, is a emergency spill response truck.
So this comes out when somebody spills something hazardous on the highway. These
are the guys that come out and take care of it right away.
So it's a very important truck. Needs to have good lighting because it is
always on the response to an accident scene. So we want to keep the guys that
are working out of the back of this truck nice and safe,
so we've lit this thing up all over to the max. Let me show you in the back.
By the way, shout out to Altom Transport and Al Warren Oil, specialized carriers of
petroleum and chemical products. If you're in this industry, give these guys
a call. I think they are the best around for sure. Now backed up in the other
corner of the shop and you can see we've not only wig-wagged the 28-inch Strips
on the back of the truck, well we've also wig-wagged them with the
side. So you'll see a left-to-right alternation on the rear, as well as a
side-to-back alternation on each corner. That gives him very good warning all the
way around, well over 180-degrees on the back half of the
truck and as you can see, we're doing a triple flash each way. We didn't want to
do anything overly obnoxious because the men that work in this truck will be
around the back more than the front and I don't want to be blinding the guys
trying to do their job. As you can see, we were very careful to place the lights in
an area where when the doors are pinned open, none of the light is blocked. That's
why we did them right there on the corners the way we did them is because
doors open, doors closed, you get all of the needed light that you want. You can
see there also, we've got some LED work lights up on the corners outside. Forgive
me, the one on the right, I'm waiting on a pigtail plug. The light's fine. I just was
shorted a pigtail. So at the time of this video I couldn't power it up for you
but the pigtail is on the way and that light will be working just like the
passenger very shortly. It also has a couple of LED lights previously
installed inside the box of the truck in the back. These are all switched from in
the cab. So as I was saying earlier, out back here, we've got 2 of our Wicked
Sticks in 2-head and they're placed up there right in between the DOT
lighting on the box and we've got them in a slow-to-fast alternating pattern.
Again, trying to make it not too obnoxious
for the back because this is where all the action's happening but definitely
nice high bright warning with a little bit of movement to keep all the cars
aware of what's happening with this vehicle. Now here we are inside the
hot box and now just to show you guys a little
bit about the wiring. No, we don't just have a bunch of crap all stuck together
inside of here. That's actually our wiring up there, in the loom way
up there but as you can see, we've kept it tight and right along the ceiling,
completely out of the way of all this fancy stuff for work. We came down the
corner here and that's where we're going out for the back there. Try to keep the
minimal amount of holes drilled in this truck as we can. You can see over on this
side as well, some wiring right there along the roof. Nice and tight up in the
corner, well secured so it's out of the way. So of course, this is what the inside
of the box looks like. Forgive the fast movement but I just wanted to show you all
that there wasn't a bunch of ratty connections and crap wire hanging
everywhere in here. I'm sorry but I just gotta say it again, look at those strips
under the door. That is a nice light and we're gonna start stocking that light. I
like it. Mounts good. Looks good. Again, SoundOff
NLine, special order right now. The only thing that you could get in-stock on
this build is gonna be the TIR-3's or the Thin-X Strips or the Wicked Sticks. The
roof bar, the custom brackets, the NLine's, those are all custom order. Let me
show you a little switching. Alright, so here in the cab of the truck. Now this
truck has been in service for quite a while. It's a 2006, so the guys have
gotten used to these two switches. This is your white lights for the back of the
box and this used to run only the 2 beacon lights. So everybody that's driven
this truck in this company and there's more than one person I'm sure that
drives it, has been aware that this is their warning light switch and that this
is their steady on switch. So what we've done is we've used this switch to
trigger a bank of relays hiding up underneath the dash and
that bank of relays is divided into 3 circuits.
I believe the cab of the truck, the roof light bar and the box of the truck
broken up into 3 different circuits. And that way the one switch will run
everything without maxing out and overloading the switch because it's only
tripping relays. The relays are fed off of the battery the way a normal relay is
fed and this way, we don't have to put it in a new switch. We don't have to
change how the operators are used to running the truck and everybody gets in it,
pulls the same switch out and it just has a lot better warning. So if you're
rocking something with this logo in your fleet,
you want bring it in here. Let Wicked Warnings take care of it and we'll get
you going. I just wanted to show you all a little shot of the truck with the parking lights on.
