My Department uses 1973 Jeep CJ, Has Hale pump & 110 gallon tank. Here in upstate NY we don't get many wildland fires. Mainly only small grass fires.

Ive noticed you have the nozzles on the front bumper do yours work good? We have some on our truck but the wind makes it almost useless other than it gives the truck a bath! LOL

They are truly the ultimate go anywhere vehicle. Since this picture this one has had a major transformation. It received a new stainless 150 gal tank CAFS, capable pump, new motor(chevy 350), new wheels and tires,and coming soon a hard top, paint job, and heater. Ill get some pics and add them shortly.
