    Firefighters and Public Safety

    Huh, guess I never replied to this thread. Whoops. Been with San Diego Fire-Rescue for just over 20 years. Currently a Battalion Chief assigned to Battalion 1 downtown. Other related duties include being on a Federal Incident Management Team (14 years) and on our US&R team (14 years). I did...

    Pico Arm Chair $67.00

    To be fair, REI has them for $99, so it's about a third off. Nonetheless a great deal. I bought two. Shipping was free, but I had to pay tax.

    Callen Campers still in business?

    Boy, that'd be fun but my wife gets off work at 3 and we have dinner plans with friends. Probably a busy afternoon for me.

    Good to hear. Wish I could be around to see the whole thing go down, but I work Saturday. Any updates?

    Fridge in back of truck bed or in cab?

    I've been debating this myself. One other thing I thought of is that the cab may be air conditioned when on the move, thus reducing the load on the fridge. OTOH, the cab may get hotter more quickly than the bed increasing the load on the fridge. How much hot air does the fridge put out, if...

    Callen Campers still in business?

    Hillbilly, Welcome to the site! I don't usually watch KUSI, but was channel surfing. I scrolled by and happened to see Scott's face... "Whoa! What's this?" Glad you spoke out. I'd seriously like to have a sit down with Callen Sr. and maybe Scott and try to get them to straighten up. But...

    Project Wander Wagon

    Just got back from spending the weekend in the desert with a bunch of Dodge guys. Both Sage and Don were there and spent a lot of time working on their respective customers' trucks. Now that's customer service! A few times I saw Sage and Don looking at trucks together discussing the finer...

    Callen make TV. Not in a good way. Another dissatisfied customer contacted the local TV consumer reporter. http://www.kusi.com/story/13952580/a-sorry-string-of-lame-excuses

    Opinions on these Hella lights...

    By all means upgrade the stockers first. That's what I did in my XJ and in my EB. Had to add a relay to the EB, though. Neither of them had a lick of problems with the higher wattage. Both had better lighting stock than either my F250 or my 2500.

    Looking for a hand held 1st HAM

    Care to elaborate on that statement? As far as radios for SAR/Public Service, I'm fond of the Bendix King line. It's the standard for wildland firefighting across the country. With the right knowhow it's field programmable. You can get a "clamshell" that uses AA batteries. Many of the newer...

    The Dodge Project

    And be prepared for regular "Why isn't it done yet?" visits to El Cajon. I'm on my second Callen shell. Both of mine have had RV style doors in the middle of the back. A buddy has a combination fold up/barn door thing in his. Seems to work for him, but he's got a long bed. I've seen a lot...

    Help Please with Dream Rig!

    Here's my thoughts as the owner of a similar truck. The advantage of the PW over the non-PW is the suspension. The advantage of the CTD over the Hemi is the powertrain. Which is easier to change? My understanding is that the PW springs are softer than stock. I know my truck has a larger shell...

    You sure could. But the existing one has a decent location and the jigs for different sized beds.

    Callen Campers still in business?

    One of the excuses I heard on my build was that his welder had quit. So I one of my backup plans was to bring my own guy and use Callen's jigs.... and not pay a penny more. In other words, as said earlier... it's not rocket science. Seems like with a few guys there, you oughtta be able to...

    Dodge 2500 project

    Exchanged a PM or two with the gentleman making those... but he never got back to me and I didn't have the cash anyway.

    Callen Campers still in business?

    Drove by a few weeks ago and there looked to still be in business. As others have stated, Scott has really screwed up the place. I did get my shell, exactly as spec'd, but it took a long time. There are a few things that they could have done differently, but in the end, it's what I ordered...

    Another Dodge

    Since there are more threads on Dodges than all others combined, I vote for a Dodge only forum. :sombrero:
