You just redefined bling.
There are some times when even train horns aren't enough
For those rare occasions, there are Glocks with hair triggers

Oh come on Rick, I would have believed that if the girl hadn't shot the guy
Since I want to be like you 
where did you find those generic rocker switches :console and round?

Nice. Where did you mount the tube amp?

I got them from rallylights.com for $7 bucks a pop
They're a Toyota part, so Dan could probably get them cheaper
Working on it
Test Video
No tube, the HU has a standard input that plays through the speakers
It has tone, echo and distortion settings, but nuthin spectacular
I use it to jam along with Buckethead
Holy OCD!!! That thing is like a fighter jet cockpit! Nice job.

Don't you find the GPS mounted under the rear view mirror to be a bit obstructive? Seems like it would be.
I'm wondering about the camera set up. You said you had forward, rear, left and right.
Are they obtrusive/visible from the outside?
Are the left and right pointed back as side mirror-esque or straight out?
Can the cameras be used to capture, say, rotating 1 second intervals and store them to a USB drive? Would make for a nifty travel log.
I see lots of switches connected to presumably lots of wires and circuits, but no fuse block. Have you got this covered? Where did you mount the block?

Not at all (well, nuthin you wouldn't get used to in a few minutes)
Since the wife uses it just as much as I do, it stays in the middle...
The front and rear bumper cams are flush mounted (front cam normal view, rear cam reverse view)
They're visible, but not obtrusive (they look like a peep hole on a front door of a house)
The front passenger cam is a reverse image camera pointed towards the back to get a shot of everyone's faces...
The rear passenger cam (normal view) is mounted out back and gets a forward view from the inside (the back of everyone's head and a wide angle view of the vehicle's surroundings)....
The wireless cam receiver is mounted behind the glove box and the camera can be taken anywhere within 1000 ft. radius
I have yet to receive the pan tilt cam (still on order), but it will most likely next to the center dome light for a 360* window view
Yes, however, I plan on recording real time for each camera angle...
In fact I have a leftover 8 channel 300GB 30fps DVR meant for just that (a freebie after installing camera systems on Orlando's entire City bus fleet), but the unit is just way too big for the Cruiser (VCR sized)
Looking for a smaller SD based unit, but the multi channel 30fps ones don't come cheap
If you can deal with 5-15fps, then there are plenty available
Each switch gets power from a fused circuit...
Either from an inline fuse holder or tapped from the fuse panel on the accessory's circuit side....
Each switch is used as a trigger only, so current flow is minimal as each accessory I have has it's own relay
At the battery, I have a main mega fuse with 2Gauge welding wire leading to the roof rack where I have the accessory fuse block and relay grid mounted in a mailbox
Looks weird, I know, but I needed sumthin weatherproof on the cheap and if it's good enough to keep my mail dry, then it's certainly good enough for all my electronic crap
James Bond ain't got nothing on you! Now what was that about the r/c camera?

It's just a wireless camera that I mount onto my R/C Crawler so I can drive by monitor
It's got a 1000ft.+ range that's good through walls, so I usually drive it from the front parking lot to the back of my shop to spy on the workers
(it also has audio so can hear them talkin $h!t)

Crazy upgrades! love 'em! The air horns...mmmm... how do i make a setup like that without spending too much? i dont need the train volume, just almost train volume... to wake certain people from the dead driving... and to call for help when i'm stranded!
Where's the tab button 
For air horns, check Howards Horns, you can find them on the internet, they have some pretty good quality stuff that won't break the bank.
As far as the electronics goes, you can use something as simple as an air conditioning relay to hook it up. You wire your existing horn wire up to one side of the relay, and the other side of the relay up to ground. Then take a heavy wire and connect from one side of the relay to the positive of the battery (preferably through a fuse) and the other side of the normally open contacts to the horn compressor. One more wire, the negative side of the horn compressor to the negative side of the battery and hold your ears when you honk that baby!!! 8o)
Oh, by the way, nice ride to the originator of this thread!!!

Added a timer relay to the dual battery circuit as well as a couple of momentary switches....
One gives me a preset charge time without the fear of forgetting the batteries connected and the other activates the purge solenoids for the air tanks
Also relocated the sub controller to make room for the OEM hand throttle...
