That show is on TV all the time on one of the throwback channels. I keep flipping past it at night.

That was real tv not reality tv, more true to life and not fabricated drama
Wife has the whole box set on DVD

Because of idiots. $1mil rig to block traffic so texting grandma doesn't run thru the scene at 70.
Saw an article once that some municipalities had tried going to heavy trucks just as blockers, but lawsuits followed. A fire truck is "supposed" to be at a crash, not a dump truck painted red and full of sand.
Plus (just my guess)...federal funding. More calls, more money. Why do you think places like NYC do such a big deal about an unattended package? No, it's not about terrorism. It's about allocating resources to a suspected "terrorism" event, and the federal grant money that it opens up.

As stated, traffic blocker. Many ladder/truck companies are rescue companies. They will carry most of your extrication/cribbing/rescue and hand tools. Bigger accidents call for heavy rescue.

That thing has got to be a pain to back. After driving my spot truck to move trailers, I hate the unresponsiveness of my regular tractor. I can't imagine how aggravating that would be to back. *turn the wheel full lock. Back up 20ft. I wonder when/if the trailer will ever change directions*In another life I would own this

Some parking added finally, got tired of parking in the grass. Still have some more to add. Also did some grading around the shop to help keep water away. Major thanks to @rcalexander105 all did work, I just watched with a rake in my hand pretending to be important.

Looks like it could be crawled in a stock XJ with a Lockright and 31s.

Got my new 32x9 swamper on this weekend. I am definitely going to have to get my Springs re-arched or maybe find a set of 2” lift springs.
