You gotta love crome though! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

My only concern w/where the crosslays are StLouis rigs have a bad habit of getting apparatus rear ended. I see a potential of being out of commission with even a minor accident. The other thing is ergonomics as far as deploying the line. Have to come up w/something creative.
Im not saying I dont like it..looks cool, saves compartment space, and eliminates the need to climb up on the rig, but Ive never really heard or seen to many guys falling off from loading line either.
One question though, from all the pics Ive seen I havent noticed where the booster line is. I wouldnt be upset if they didnt have one, but I know StLFD and Im sure its there..back on the drivers side above the panel again? Now that I think about it...I dont see the deck gun either, and I know its on there somewhere.....maybe its just the shots/angles.
Guess Ill get to see it all in detail soon enough. Our current Smeal (E28) is out of commission for good. We were told we would get our new rig before the quint comes back in service from a total referb.
