Whats wrong with Photobucket? I use it and it works fine.

hey E911EMT, that looks nice! I bet it was a challenge to find good places to hide the equipment.

There's some good places in the TB, you just have to look for/be creative with it. I've a Kenwood TK-730G in mine and the transceiver is under the passenger seat. Whelen Alpha siren amp is under the driver's seat. Strobe pack and a flasher for rear flashing lights in the back window are under the rear passenger's seat. The hard part was finding where to mount the control head for the radio and also the switch box for the lighting. I had to sacrifice a cupholder (oh well).
