[ResQguy]

looks good. who makes the leds on your rear hatch?

 

[firedispatch]

were did you buy the console if you look at my 01 burban im using the factory tape deck area

 

[Twister_2]

Why do you have two 8800's in the back? I could see maybe putting one up front but then two in the back? Why's that?

 

[gewecke]

I'm guessing cross band repeat from the extra 8800?

Looks really good but why do you need a radio in the rear like that?

I am involved with search and rescue . So it's nice to have the radios in the back for those times when our command truck doesn't get on scene right away. I use one set up for cross band repeat sometimes and for running our main repeater and the talk around channel as well.

If the WX is nice tomorrow I'll snap a few more pics..

Great looking install, you just gave me a great idea for my rear cargo area light in my suburban, I really like where you have placed the switch.

 

[tekshogun]

awsome setup!

 

[kjfswkr]

Like I said very nice setup. What do you use the computer for?

[rki616]

I use the computer for everything from radar, email and mapping to keeping up with the net control log's. We do all of our net control in a chat room. This way It's all logged and can be accessed from anywhere in the world on our chat system.

How do you reach or even see the laptop from the driver's seat? It's like 2 feet away from the driver...
