Gambi80 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Just messin around here. I wanted to post some before/after pictures...from when I bought the truck to now. Problem is I can't find the old pictures of my truck. So here are a couple others instead. I've got a ways to go yet though... Ha, it took me quite a while ('puter tarded) to resize and upload these TWO photos, so don't make too much fun. Quote Ever wonder how a blind person knows when to stop wiping?

Gambi80 Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Steel trailer insulated for asphalt, but I'll haul almost anything with it. Just bought the trailer...upgraded from a Hilbilt to the PitBoss...(with air ride..!! my back is smiling already). Quote Ever wonder how a blind person knows when to stop wiping?

mackdaddy1911a1 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Nice ride guy. Don't worry about the pictures they are fine, it's just like learning to drive a new truck. It takes a while to get the hang of it but it all comes out in the wash. If you have kids ..they usually know more about computers and printers than the people who made them. Good luck uploading all your pictures . Quote THE GREATEST NAME IN TRUCKS MACK TRUCKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 'only' 28, but my 7 year old nephew can school me on the computer. It's pretty sad really. Quote Ever wonder how a blind person knows when to stop wiping?

Looks kinda short... Haha...it's easy as pie. I'm used to it I guess. Tell you what though, I worked for IDOT over the winter and jumping in a truck that doesn't bend in the middle is WEIRD... I was used backing up and turning left to go right and vice versa... Quote Ever wonder how a blind person knows when to stop wiping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell you what though, I worked for IDOT over the winter and jumping in a truck that doesn't bend in the middle is WEIRD... I was used backing up and turning left to go right and vice versa... I pull a 39 footer, and if it gets past about 45 or 50 degrees, I can't get back under it without pulling forward....truck's just too long and the wheels just don't cut sharp enough. If I'm going forward, I could turn the wheel to full lock and drive around in a complete circle before the trailer starts pivoting on it's axle... ...and I know the feeling. I got out of a truck after spending 2 years OTR to finish up my degree (only had 1 semester left)....drove a school bus for the semester and had to get used to not turning opposite when backing too That was a while ago though...

RowdyRebel Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I bet your windshield washer fluid bill rivals your fuel bill...Some days more than others I disconnected the line for the passenger side washer fluid....saves about 50% of my monthly washer fluid budget OK, so maybe not on purpose. Danged cheap plastic "T" broke for the passenger side washer, so I wrapped the line with duct tape so that the driver's side would still get fluid. If'n ya can't duck it...

storkmack Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Thanks for the kind words.....I will not be on the road in that truck this year, as I have had to go into dispatch for the season. For the time being it is parked in my shed. Thanks, Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
