That isn't even getting into the taxes I pay so millions of Americans can have free housing, food, insurance, healthcare, and cell phones. Ya wanna tick me off ........keep this crap up.

Ya know I too am wondering why girly blindly agrees with everything out of Washington and calls us crazy for stating facts. Fact since Obummer and his "appointees" took office our debt has tripled, we supposedly don't have the money for white house tours, military aircraft participation in air shows, our military budjets have been reduced by nearly a third, homeland security has gained more power and reach than any previous government entity in history, our constitutional rights have been repeatedly trampled, however......we had the money to send billions in aid to china, 14 billion to put power in the African desert, we gave Egypt millions in military hardware and the first family spends millions on weekend vacations. Now WHAT THE FUCK?

I introduced myself to him at Mid America the first year he had it together, told him I had an 84 V8 Superliner and tried to ask him some questions about his truck, I got short smartas$ replies and when I tried to change tactics and just ask him about his build he was clearly not interested in talking to me as I was not in his league, I told him I thought he was acting like a prick and walked off, a friend that was with me who is very laid back and not at all easy to aggrevate said :" that guy is an ass". I dont know if it was the Shell Superrigs High horse or winning whatever he won there, hell maybe he had been getting the same stuff for 3 days and was just tired but he could have just said so and acted differently. I was not amused!

If anybody has an E9 540 spec sheet like that one for the 400 I need it bad to add to my paperwork, Ill take a copy I dont care, hook me up like a mutha truckin tow truck.

Just damn! And there is no way you could use this to explain the issues starting to show up here and the south american truckers they want to let in is the icing on the cake.

And fingerless driving gloves, hate ta get a blister on our delicate palms.

I tried to talk to that guy at Mid America one year, he was a prick we don't need him in the Mack family.

From the looks of your work I may just bring mine to you and let you do it right, excellent job so far keep the pics coming.

I've been pondering the wood laminate for mine, I found some that's 3/8" thick I figured id level underneath and it wouldn't be too much taller than the rubber and insulation.

HEY WAIT A MINUTE..........that's FRED your giving that water too, that camel gets around.

That first bridge looks familiar, I went to Baghdad Camp Liberty , Balad Camp Anaconda, Camp Cedar and Camp Added kinda moved south the whole time. I didn't necessarily mean mountains but the areas I was in you couldn't just drive off thru the desert unless ya felt like getting stuck. I tried to stay in a HET while I was there, they had the best armor of our stuff but they were freaking hot with just the in dash a/c. I spent the majority of my time there recovering rolled Air Force MRAP's, those flyboys can't drive fur shit. The rest of the time was spent picking up the remnants of IED's and ambushed convoys, lots of tore up Haji trucks. From about Feb thru the beginning of April there was more mud than sand in Balad and Around Cedar and route Tampa. The HET's were the best thing we had for the mud too, kinda hard to stop a 500hp 8 wheel drive truck.

an E9 could be a weapon of mass embarrassment to Paccars! lol

Whew, the one on the left is awful flexible keeping those legs straight like that! I like her a lot.

Damn hajis, must be man Thursday.

I took 2 factory grilles and made one for each of those trucks. Roadworks said they would make me a custom grille but once I got it off the truck I had a light bulb moment. I decided I wanted to keep the factory style grille bars since they match the smooth lines of the hood. The bumper was made by Valley Chrome Plating I ordered it thru Chrome Country in Smyrna TN. I had em cut it to fit a bracket I made to go behind it, the plate hanger flips up to reveal my tow/ step hole. Its a 20" boxed end square and since I moved it up tighter to the hood I still had 18" of clearance under it with 425 floats and 18k multi leaf suspension.

Never been to the middle east huh? It ain't flat I saw more trucks flipped over or buried in Iraq than I have here.

You remember the address or name of the road in beckley, might look cool on Google earth to see all those old coal haulers.

It's a mean looking old dog, and its got that long radius turnout pipe some of you guys like too.

Eh, planes, trains and automobiles kinda go together for some reason. I have a ton of die cast construction equipment too.

Revell A10 model I built when I got home from IQ, HO scale CSX ES40DC's and a CW60AC and a ex SP C44-9 I patched and weathered.

Then we have a 1931,1938 and 1955 Coke truck, Ford GMC and White.....

Gots sum moe fa y'all... first is a 1926 Mack AC pumper, then a 1927 Ford and 1928 International Coke truck.

Ha, yeah its easier thru the door but my ocd gets me, I put it thru the mirror arm and run it with the factory wiring. It takes a while but it looks cleeeeean when yur dun. I always use a Wilson 18' with the removable end they seem to get the best swr's for me.

the rears would fit on the top deck of a drop deck and 10' tall H model can be done with a low ride height drop deck most are 42" or under, how tall/long is the ch Mike?

I spec'd out some IC RE 90 passenger school buses a few years back as close to the Blue Bird spec I made as possible and that was a question that came up then however Kent Wisehart the IC bus guru said it would never happen since the DT series was so poular and extremely reliable. Long story short, I could have sold several of em if they had offered the ISB that would have matched the Blue Bird and Thomas buses already in inventory but they wouldnt budge.
