    Thanks for the suggestion! I was planing on tacking it on the bottom side, but that works as well

    By the time you buy it, have it optioned out and shipped new it's $3000.. I got it 6mo old from someone who used it on a escort truck (oversized loads) for $500 with a few other federal signal LED lights thrown in.. So it was still expensive, but compared to new was cheap lol
