I am a member of Crownvic.net and Crownvic.us and one of those sites had a topic someone started (something about TIMMY who was also a member of CVN or CVUS) and the link was to a topic on this site.
I clicked on the link and liked the layout of the site, became a member, and have learned, shared, bought, and sold.
Thanks for creating it.

Seems like I did a search through Google or dogpile. Not sure what it was for, probably some project of the day. Either way, found the forum and got hooked....just not to the extent of someone on the east side of the state.... *cough* Pat H. * cough* Laughing

I was referred here a little over 2 years ago when I joined one of the local volunteer fire departments. I joined to buy one piece of equipment. Now it has turned out to be the only place I buy stuff for my security company, and get all the technical help I could ever need. I guess you can say I am hooked. I find myself coming to this site several times a day. I love this site!! heck were else can you go to get educated on emergency equipment and also gripe about just about anything in the world. Wink Keep up the good work I know it is greatly appreciated by all!!

I've been posting here several years, but I can't remember how in the world I learned of this place. I know it wasn't word of mouth; so it must have came up in a yahoo search result (before google became popular). Smile

I think it was through Google that I learned of this site.
I do alot of "rewiring" of existing setups and this site has been an invaluable resource for me.

I have been here now for something like seven or eight years now Confused I can't remember how I found the board, but it seems to me that it had something to do with an Excite search for emergency lighting pictures

I had asked a question on my Jeep forum about whether I could install grill lights on the wiring for my fog lights that I never use. (I never got an answer)

Someone pointed me here..
