  1. Rob, Look for truck camper or buy a 10' truck body and build your own. That way you can have kitchen, bath, and a place to stay at the shop when you don't dare to go home.
  2. Happy Birthday Rowdy and Abe Lincoln. What a combination!
  3. The Superliner does look small. But, the Superliner and MH both use the same battery box and air tank. They look to be the same size.
  4. How high would you say that loaded trailer is?
  5. I don't think any dealer is going to have any Titans on their lot unless they are presold. At one time they were building one per week. At that rate it will take 8000 years to build as many Titans as they built R models.
  6. Dave, What can you tell us about this one?
  7. It tells you when it's 12 oclock. American Logger starts 2-19-11.
  8. Do you mean Gary Mahan?
  9. Hey Rob, Go to the above photo and click the back button 3 times. You may find one of your friends. Click one more time for a DOT bumper test.
  10. I don't think it would take any more than a quick lane change to tip that motorcycle over.
  11. If you can get to the end of the crack and drill a small hole at that point, it may keep it from going any further.
  12. The manager should be gone also.
  13. This is what happens when you don't learn how to takeoff and land.......... OOPS ! This brand spanking new Airbus 340-600, the largest passenger airplane ever built, sits just outside its hangar in Toulouse , France without a single hour of airtime. a1.bmp Enter the Arab flight crew of Abu Dhabi Aircraft Technologies (ADAT) to conduct pre-delivery tests on the ground, such as engine run-ups, prior to delivery to Etihad Airways in Abu Dhabi . a2.bmp The ADAT crew taxied the A340-600 to the run-up area.. a3.bmp Then they took all four engines to takeoff power with a virtually empty aircraft. Not having read the run-up manuals, they had no clue just how light an empty A340-600 really is. a4.bmp The takeoff warning horn was blaring away in the cockpit because they had All 4 engines at full power. The aircraft computers thought they were trying to take off, but it had not been configured properly (flaps/slats, etc.) a6.bmp Then one of the ADAT crew decided to pull the circuit breaker on the Ground Proximity Sensor to silence the alarm. This fools the aircraft into thinking it is in the air. The computers automatically released all the brakes and set the aircraft rocketing forward. a7.bmp The ADAT crew had no idea that this is a safety feature so that pilots can't land with the brakes on. a8.bmpNot one member of the seven-man Arab crew was smart enough to throttle back the engines from their max power setting, so the $200 million brand-new aircraft crashed into a blast barrier, totaling it. a9.bmp The extent of injuries to the crew is unknown due to the news blackout in the major media in France and elsewhere. Because........ a10.bmp Coverage of the story was deemed insulting to Muslim Arabs. a11.bmp Finally, the photos are starting to leak out. . One French Airbus: $200 million dollars Untrained Arab Flight Crew: $300,000 Yearly Salary Unread Operating Manual: $300 Aircraft meets retaining wall and the wall wins. PRICELESS!!! "And that's why God gave them camels"! AND A BIG DESERT , SO THEY COULDN’T RUN INTO ANYTHING

  14. Sounds like the Chicago way. Happy Birthday.
  15. Back in the 70's Burr was a Diamond Reo dealer and Cook was a Brockway dealer. Today is a function of evolution.
  16. Maybe it pops up whenever someone votes.
  17. Why haven't we heard form Al Gore. Ten years ago he was telling us our kids wouldn't reconize snow. Don't know where this was............
  18. The MH shifter transfers the two dimentional movement of the stick to a single rod with a u joint on each end. The rod twist and push/pulls. You would need to fab a conection at the trans so the twist would alternate the push/pull action between the two shift rods. Call me at 919-932-3344 if I can help.
  19. From the era when cabovers were made with conventional cabs. Some of them were built in some handyman's backyard before truck manufactures realized the demand and started building cabovers.
  20. If you can't find one, we can get you a lever and linkage from a cabover that will work. Or if your only going to use dir-od you can hook up an air cylinder. I've been told you can also get electric shifter kits.
  21. One of the first things they will look at is his cell phone records.
  22. I think Buffort T Justice was from Mississippi.

    Demolition

    You could never get away with a burn or a bury around here.
  24. "It's always on" But he usually can't remember where he left it.
  25. I think I passed one of these trucks on the road when I was going through West Virginia.
