I'd forgotten most of how to maintain lightbars, I was just the halligan hooligan as my LT called me, well, and the guy who got stuck on the flatbed of the brush truck every time a train hit the brakes too hard.

What a blast from the past. When I lived back home in Colorado I was a firefighter. Started in June of 1991. Our Squad-1 was the same year of truck as Chief and it had the exact same lightbar...lol It was also our Chief's response vehicle. You just need to give him the full fire engine red paint job...lol
Matt make sure that you put a bead of silicon around the wires on the roof so that water doesn’t drip in and start to rust your roof out. Take it from my personal experience of the owner of my old 84 ford not doing the right thing and then I had to fix the problems
@@rosawilliams9145 last year was 120+ trees, this year who knows. Matt’s obviously good at planning content and I’m sure it’s no coincidence that he decided to start building a fire truck this close to New Years
@@stevendodge6758 Yep, you just know there's an algorhythm somewhere just waiting to hear copyrighted music and yank that from creators.

Yeah we northerners always laugh when Matt says its cold here and it be like 60 degrees. For me thats perfect conveetible weather. I want to see him start that truck up when its 0 degrees outside.
@@Jamal_Tyrone Yeah i probably shouldve specified fahrenheit but i never use it. If its 8 degrees celcius than it should be 46 degrees fahrenheit if im right which isnt bad but its about to be 8 degrees fahrenheit here in Minnesota (midwest state in US) Which is negatice celcius.

Love the new outtro! Glad you kept the "Don't tell Mere" part with Mark. Also noticed the the tire popping at the end has the same sound as the old outtro. Cleaver boy!
My kids would go to a sleep over too. It is really defined as: You go to your friend's house stay up all night, and then sleep when it is over. Sleep Over.
Oh Matt you totally didnt warn us with epilepsy that has seizures with those lights. I wasn't ready for this video. I love you all and I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas! ✌️🌲
68-70 degrees is the normal temp at the house inside. Outside can be like -20c, it is all what you are used to and can handle. Love your channel and thanks for doing that for your staff. I think it means a lot in today's enthronement .
I suggest you have the engine running when the light bar is on, those type lightbars pull a lot more amps than an LED and they will drain a battery pretty quick, also you will be getting the proper voltage to the light bar which will keep from burning up the motors. The front white lights are called 'takedowns' and the side white lights are called 'alley lights' they are more for Police use. I had a light bar many years ago that had 8 rotators and drew 40 amps when all lights were activated.
Super spreader COVID Christmas party. That unwrapping game was particularly egregious. Let’s all sit next to each other without masks and touch the same things!
Matt needs to use that awesome print shop at the Bunker to print some quality emergency vehicle reflective decals for Chief! Red stripes with yellow lettering down the sides: DEMO-RANCH FIRE DEPARTMENT
Straight to the comment section when he said it gets cold like 68 degrees lol, That's still t-shirt weather to me. I sleep with my window open while it's snowing😂
That's actually been the high out here in Texas lately. Been below freezing several nights. Our birdbath has been frozen solid several times and there is frost on the roofs of the houses on most mornings.
Matt, @ approx 15:30mins; that "extra" 18kLb. winch (with @ least 1 if not 2 snatch block pulley/s!), might not be a bad idea to install that in the front after you get a better bullbar/deercatcher/brush guard/ grill! Also, don't forget to Always use a line dampening device, so that whilst winching, if the winch line breaks, it will mitigate the potential collateral damage by absorbing the stored energy. Check out the Boys from '4wd 24/7' and 'Patriot Games' in Australia, they have been there and done that! Also good places for the new grill/bumper.
I stopped by bunker branding the day of the Christmas party and just happened to see Matt and the kids pull up in the Raptor on their way to the party. Proposed to my girlfriend later that night, she didn't say no, definitely a day for the books!

Very accurate
Matt, the middle section of the light bar is usually set up to stop turning when the truck is in park and rotate when the truck is driving.
Now the truck is gonna have an even worse chance of starting up, that thing needs a full battery
Dual Marine Optima Yellow top deep cycle batteries like on a boat? I'd do that if it was *MY* build! But I build things kinda crazy anyway...
