When is the last time a piece of construction equipment ever got checked by any safety or DOT agency? I see construction equipment with fully blacked out tinted windows all the way around, which I totally understand for skin safety, but I doubt they ever get checked for anything since they don't really travel much on roadways with the general public.

It was very hard to turn the steering wheel of a cab over without a steering knob. Most did not have power steering. It was easy ier if the truck was moving
FerrissWheel and snowlauncher Thank this. -
Smarter would be a regular GPS that mounts to the windshield within a better view range.FerrissWheel Thanks this. -
AFAIK T he steering knob it self is not illegal but the way it is mounted is.
No part of the assembly can stick out past the perimeter of the steering wheel including the clamp.
Clamping the knob to a spoke should be legal and there are steering wheels designed for a knob.FerrissWheel, slow.rider and John E. Thank this. -
Is there not a quick-release spinner for less than $75-$100 ?
I run recovery wrecker, extremely often it is necessary to achieve elongated finite and explicit maneuvers, especially on the rez. Not an easy task in a FL-M2, 18" wheel.
I need a spinner that I can grab from the cubby and slap on, and quickly remove to get back on the road.
But jeez, $75 is a lot for me, single provider with a disabled wife, cost is everything.
I saw one on eBay for $18, but that seems a bit TOO cheap, lol. I must sound like an Aunt Bee, too much too little not the right color ......FerrissWheel Thanks this. -
i won't drive a truck with one of those stupid steering knobs.

When I got the truck I'm now driving, it had a spinner knob on the steering wheel. I planned on taking it off as soon as I got the right torx bit. But I found that I really like using it when I'm backing up. I had had a tendency to oversteer when backing. The knob seems to give me better control.
And it's still on there.Concorde and FerrissWheel Thank this.
