I’ve done a bit of work on my truck since my last update, and also have some new photos. The work done includes:
- Added 4 strobes head to rear of truck, with strobe box in NEMA enclosure in bed.
- Icom F5061 (VHF 50W) mobile radio in console
- Three antenna mounts and antennae on roof - WiFi antenna, VHF mobile antenna and wideband scanner antenna. The installation and wiring was done by Ken’s Auto Electric of Midland Park, NJ (Ken is a great guy, and prices very reasonably).

Looking good after a wash and detail…

Front lighting job finished.
Direct frontal view (before antennae). The Dual Avenger is barely visible behind the Super Duty graphic at the top of the windshield, but shows through very clearly when lit.
Running board mounted LIN4’s.
Rear license plate mounted LIN3s and rear strobes.
