other dog Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 No, no, not at all- Rob had just painted that truck in the "big top paint shop" and the radiation levels were still a little high.

Rob Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Are they as bad as Odessa MO. scales used to be,(maybe still are). got hammered there a few years ago and havent been back.Ya know there are a few things I remember my grandpa talking about not going; one was Odessa, MO. He would route trucks so they didn't have to deal with those "horses asses", (his words). I remember him telling me there would not be a damned thing wrong with your truck but they would hang you up over an hour sometimes.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

RowdyRebel Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Only scales I cross are the ones at the shipper & receiver. I plan my routes accordingly to avoid roads that have scales.Ain't a scale ever been built that ya can't get around if'n ya plan ahead. Trick is, you can't wait until the last exit before and take the frontage road past the scale to get back on at the first exit past them....they look for that. Take off through the woods early enough and you're off their radar. Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

Lmackattack Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I dont think so. they are LED bulbs that fit in the same sockets and no they dont glare off the glass its just a nice glow. However I made a mistake and bought some LED bulbs that are on/off only, they cant be dimmed, I also bought LED bulbs that can dim with the dash control knob. I will be replacing the ones that dont dim. The ones that do dim can be controled like a normal light bulb. Regardless they add a litte diffrent touch to the truck.
