Thanks guys! I must have a freakin hole in my head for taking on this project but we need a water truck for fire suppression at our other house. We all know how much of a pain new stuff can be so I figured it would be better if I could fend for myself when something on the truck needs to be fixed.
For comparison I can buy a Kodiak with a water tank and pump for around 10k so that is my five year budget. I think we are going to try to get a split PTO for the t-case for a winch / H20 pump combo.

I'll probably need a few before this is done.
