    welcome...
    Post up some pics of the POV leds when you get them in.
    You can really do some cool stuff depending on your state laws.
    Never ran them in my taco but the 2010 Subaru was loaded out for first response.
    When your town only has two rigs you do what you have to.
    cheers.

    What kind of truck did you guys get? I can tell it's a mid mount but can't tell the brand. Ladder doesn't look like a Stuphen so that rules that out. It doesn't look like a Pierce either?

    LMAO sorry Britt, been hectic. I wanted the damn thing a year ago, but the wife said i had priorities (wedding) before i bought it, so week after our wedding.... i bought it. I'll def keep it updated on here. Next time you come through which i know u come through a lot, hit me up anytime man. I'm actually going to cuchara co labor day weekend to do some fly fishing and get some good offroad pics done.

    The Ladder we got is a '99 KME Ariel Cat, we bought it from Worcester, MA, thats why we left the W6 on the truck. That was one of the first calls this truck ran on.

    We are also getting a new F550 fast attack truck to replace that other ford in the picture this month and a new international grass truck at the end of the year i believe.

    Stay safe brother gotta get to work. Here's a recent photo i took of it

    Ya sure man, I got it off autoanything.com, they usually have great deals. Its the Access Tonnosport cover. has a low profile. Only down fall i had to remove the tie slide rails on the sides.... i cant figure out how the hell they would mount and fit the actual tie down inserts. But its not hard to put on or take off. So if i ever need to desperately have more tie downs quick switch. I just wanted a low profile look.

    Do you have to take off the rail itself or just the tie downs? Do you mind posting a pic of the bed with the cover rolled up, just wanted to see what it looks like in there. Thanks :)

    Used to be a volunteer fire fighter in Panhandle many years ago. Hope you never have to fight a wheat field fire or range fire. Guess there is a season of watching the Golden Wolves in your future.

    Living in that flat part of the world takes a special type of people. From the top of a two story house, windmill, elevator or football stadium you can see trouble coming two days away. Your truck will need to float over sand dunes one day and two days latter push six inches of snow. Then there is black clay mud that is slick with a .25 inch rain and a bottomless goo after a four inch down pour.

    But the Tacoma is up to the challenge.

    Again Welcome to TW
