We are happy with the weight savings by going with a poly body over a Alum body and yes this thing is really quiet. we'll see how quiet she stays after a few miles on it though once it gets broke in a little

Personaly I would have put the arrow stick up above/on top of the box just to stay out of the way.
Other than that, It looks nice !

how do you guys plan on repacking your crosslays being stacked how they are? looks like a real sharp truck!
I know there are two little signs on the insides of the Traffic Advisors telling people that they are not a step but I gaurantee you they'll be used as one.
I like the housing the split ArrowStik is in. I also love the idea of the touch screen. Any more info on it?

Thanks, we wanted to keep the top as clean as possible JUST in case is should happen to TRY and go offroad, or some of these hoses around here that dont know how to trim their trees we didnt want to knock too much equipment off the top.

Very skinny arms!! hahaha yes it is kinda a pin to repack but its do-able. each section is arm depth so as long as you dont have a gorrilla repacking its not too bad. Its all Forrestry hose 1" and the top 2 are 200' and the bottom is 25' preconnected with 100' deadlay beneath.

Yeaaaaa were being hopeful here of course but were already in the works to either make them worthy as a step or change the housing so their smaller.

The Vista touch screen is great, cleans the console up a lot and with no need for relays and rockers you save up on some space as well. here is a link to the system. http://www.weldoninc.com/pages/v_mux_info.html
Love the truck . I would still put in a HLF. I am a strong believer that every emergency vehicle should have one.

I definitely agree with that. They are relatively cheap, and have great wwarning power.
VIDS!?
