I know it has nothing to do with how it will work on the job, but way to much unpainted surfaces diamond plate, roll-up's etc for my liking.
I'm thinking a few years if not 1 in service and she will look worn out no matter how well the members take care of her. It's not a knock against the way she will work just on the aesthetics. Even bright dip anodized diamond plate tarnishes eventually even more so in a fire service where it's exposed to water and elements constantly. With the cost difference between bright dip anodized ADP and regular ADP I'm thinking this is regular diamond plate, and if it's bright dip I wonder why not just paint as that's almost always very near the same cost.
I wish BCFD the best of luck and many years of service with her.
