[chauncey0337]

Are these static models? What are the plans for the tahoes and tow trucks?

 

[nytahoe]

they are all diecast. the one tahoe im make for an exchief of a fd. other light bar heads tails dash leds. the tow truck light bars head light non flashing. corners flashing work lights under the light bar. something on the rear too. ill post picks and Videos . still waiting for the 4 trucks to come in. then i have to order a load of leds.

 

[chauncey0337]

Nice. Do you make your light bars and led kits or buy them?

 

[nytahoe]

I saw some videos on youtube with similar yukons and this guy did one that had the antennas on the roof, the spotlight, and black wheels, but his lights weren't as good as yours. Just a thought if you wanted to add some more detail. There's actually quite a few videos but here's one-
