The new 34 hey?I'll start from the front and work to the back...
Front of appliance... 9/10- Bull bar - 9/10 - is very chunkie, like the red & blue strobes, appliance sign
- Spray Bar - 10/10 - 3 jets covering 3m infront of truck and 1m each side works well.
- Head lights 8/10 - hight adjustable, may need extra spot lights, see how we go.
- Cab Sprays - 9.5/10 - award winning design and I can see why, covers 99% of the glass area even on a windy day, works great with foam on as well.
- Beacons - 7/10 - Great at night, could be better for day, slimline to keep away from branches.
- GRN /VHF antennas 10/10 - very low profile, will never get damaged
- Side steps(after alteration by Moores) 8/10 - very sturdy with lots of grip
Inside the Cab...8/10- Lay out - 7/10 - an officers delight - everything at your finger tips! short falls- lac of 12v outlets, intercom is to far for officer to reach,WERE IS THE CD PLAYER?!
- Siren - 9.5/10 - pick a tune any tune, go the hyper yelp!, air horn is a bit lame.
- Drivability - 10/10 (i'm not a driver)it's fast & responsive (Red trucks beware, don't mess with MCLV 34)
- Rear Seat 10/10 - Seats 4 across the back just fine (Mt Bold)
- Emerg. Air supply- 9/10 - yet to be used etc but will be a life saver.
- windows - Sill have to wind em!
- storage 8/10 - Love the saddle bags for tabards etc plus big pockets behind the seats.
- Seat covers 10/10 - all seats have canvas, removeable covers.
GOTA GO, TUNE IN NEXT TIME FOR LOCKERS, CREW DECK, EQUIPMENT AND PUMP
