Took time to wash and wax the rig, so I thought I would post a few pics. Also a pic of a fire hydrant I picked up a while back at a wreck and painted up nice.

Thanks! They are painted. Have about 16 months and 5,000 miles on them. Have a couple tiny chips from when they were remounted, but they are holding up good so far.

That should be easy, firefighters always wash their trucks after driving them...

Seriously, that is a very nice rig you have there. Still looks brand new. Also like the detail on the fire hydrant. Did you take that to your house for personnel use or keeping it at the fire house?

This one is at my house, we have one at the station. We had a wreck a while back and the guy hit the hydrant right in front of a water tower. When cleaning up the guy from the water dept said they won't reinstall it since it was hit and said I could have it.
