Great history of the bar. I love that you showed the WOLO copy too at the end.

[@The718Motorpool]

Kinda felt obligated to lol

[@AlexanderM-h3b]

It amazes me that this light bar was on so many police vehicles because after 80 mph it had so much drag it was surprised that the Crown Vic could keep going

[@JohCraLights]

I love that CZcams choose that frame for the thumbnail. You can change it if you want but I enjoyed the reactions it got on FB.

[@The718Motorpool]

I think I may keep it. Some low key controversy may generate some views

[@shawnramsey8264]

One of the best light bars out there

[@The718Motorpool]

Originally I was never a fan of them but they have grown on me

[@That_2_guy2T]

Awesome documentary! These lighbars are cool. If they don't cost too much, i may get the knock off.

[@The718Motorpool]

These light bars are still affordable. If you look on marketplace you can probably pick one up for under 100

I have the Wolo Infinity in Red/Blue configuration. It sits wrapped in a moving blanket pas, in my garage, because it is all plastic, when I wanted glass, and it's too big for my current house. Had it running in a basement of my old house.

[@Phil_Melone]

Why did OSHA have the center speaker / siren removed? Was it really that big of a deal?

[@The718Motorpool]

It was because of hearing loss. Kind of a big deal because a lot of first responders from the era have hearing loss.

[@Phil_Melone]

@@The718Motorpool that's interesting

[@MoparGuy1625]

After 20+ yrs I now have tinnitus from this shit.

[@The718Motorpool]

@@MoparGuy1625 I think there was a class action lawsuit a few years ago

[@paulmatakovich9096]
