What will you do about the FD graphics?
They're removing them for me. Any parts of the graphics remaining I can remove myself. They're also gonna transfer most of their lighting equipment into another vehicle as well. Makes an easier canvas for me to work with once I get it for my equipment.

How many miles on her?

The bigger question is the engine hours/idle hours. Fire department vehicles can sit on the scene and idle for hours at a time.

So does mine while my wife runs into the grocery store for "just one thing" and comes out 5 songs later!
Amen to that!
So it's not just me that gets to do that?
As for the vehicle, I think it would be cool if I had it to keep it in fire department livery. My dad was a fireman for 54 years.

No, I think they're competing to see who can shop for the longest without their husbands driving away and leaving them there to take an Uber home!
Keeping the white stripe would be cool and one could always have a generic type shield made up and call it a "tribute car". Instead of Fire Chief, have it say Big Chief or Big Cheese or Head Honcho, something to have fun with and generate smiles.
When we first got ours, my kids wanted to put Presidential Seals on the doors.

In the winter months, my wife turns on the heated seats, and then very convincingly 'recommends' that I go out myself and get whatever we came here for. 
Already a firefighter so I don't need a tribute car. I'm taking off the striping so that's it just red. Might wrap it midnight blue or silver down the line.
81k miles, gonna check the idle hours in a bit.

Mine also was a Fire dept Vehicle with 70k on the clock when I purchased , no problems and now I have over 90k on it.

Are you keeping the IONs that are on the bumper?
I think you guys with PPV's need one of these!

For now, they might be coming out as I'm probably adding a Westin pushbumper with full wraps. For now they'll be switched to ION DUOs in blue/white.
Been a while since I've posted. Been doing a good amount of work to her. Changed the factory radio to a Sony radio w/ Android Auto. Added the Westin pushbumper, and started equipping her with my lighting package. Here she is a couple days ago with a recent build we did that is almost her twin.
