My New Daily Driver - Little Red/Danger Ranger VI

[WNY964x4]

See you need to just go full time on a dept. Nothing better than gettign paid to do the Job you love. Nothing aginst a vol. dept they work great in a lot of places. I'm guessing you are a Capt. by the red helmet?

everyone asks that , and the answer is no , for some reason our comissioners decided that standard issue for all firefighters in out department was gonna be red helmets , we are the only department in the county that does that , everyone one else is like this

Black - Firefighters
Yellow - Lieutenants
Red - Captains
White - Chiefs

our department is

Red - Firefighters
White - Chiefs


and yes , being in a paid department would be nice , but the closest 3 paid departments from my hous are either 15 mins to the city that is our county seat , which does not hire too often , or a half hour to 45 minutes in either direction to either of the major cities , so i just stick to being a volunteer

i am looking into lights for my rollbar , stuck between the standard 130w KC Daylight Long Ranges , or a set of Lightforce 170 Striker's

I am a volunteer in Chester Nova Scotia, and as far as helmet color goes
Black-Probation members
Yellow-Firefighters
Green- SafetyTraining
Red-Captains/Lieutenants
white-Cheifs
I love being in the fire department here. I enjoy every minute of it.

right here is where i would have left it alone as far as looks go. I would have removed pinstripe, painted all that plastic black, had the paint buffed and left it alone. removed all them stickers on the back window, tinted the windows and been done with it. just my honest opinion, nice truck though!

i like the pinstripe

i am gonna paint the flares black , and i am getting HD black steel bumpers . it is having some body work doe and then i am gonna have my buddy buff it with color match wax and shit , most of the stickers except the LBI and Centerforce ones are comin off

NY is pretty picky about tint

i am always up for peoples opinions , good or bad , it helps me to see what people think of my truck , it is far from done right now , and once i get the money to buy a new ranger the last year they are out i am gonna retire this one into garage life , because it is a nice clean 3rd gen , i likes it in that picture too , but then stuff kept growing , the exhaust fell off , it need new tires , someone had a rollbar and i had the tailgate they needed , it has just kinda grown little by little from day one , i love this truck to death , but i dont know when i will be ever satisfied , i just have the constant mod bug


http://www.therangerstation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=70651 <------if my truck had looked identical to that one when i bought it , i would have left it alone , to me that truck is beautiful , my truck id just another DD/Weekend Wheeler that i love , but it is far from the perfect one i would want

do you have a link to each kind of light? ive heard that kc and lightforce are both high quality products but i dont have any experiece with either. i have used many hella products and have been pleased with them, but they proabably arent as high quality as the lightforces of KCs would be?
