    Ran almost all my 11 today... parked at this Indian Restaurant and truck stop on I-40 NM

    [​IMG]

    There are a lot of truck drivers from India and adjacent countries here... So, I thought the food must be "good", authentic and not expensive... So, decided to give it the try... :biggrin_25519: And that was good....:biggrin_25519:
    They have a buffet, like self-service in Brasil... got my white rice... :yes2557: cooked vegetables...:yes2557: spinach paste :yes2557: lentils... :yes2557: all fresh cooked... :yes2557: no meat... and they served me something that looked like a tortilla... All very spicy, of course... but I ate it all:yes2557: Very good indeed! :yes2557:
    Also bought a bunch of snacks (from India) to munch while driving...:yes2557:

    Mr. TruckDuo may be familiar with those...

    HAHAHA.... $1200 stove? Oh c'mon... that must be just a regular stove...
    But hey... I would engage in conversation if I didn't have to rush to bed right now... Going to get up in about 6 hrs and will drive all night again... Will have to catch up with you all tomorrow... will reset after I park... You all take care..:biggrin_25519::biggrin_25518:

    Great, your tires are going to be rated for at least 6175 lbs so you are legal to run 12,350 lb on the steers on the national network:

    Some states (AR, IN, LA, MS, & WI) still limit you to 12,000 lbs on local roads/state highways, but on almost every interstate and most US highways you're good.

    Hey... all the ingredients were listed in English... only seeds and nuts and natural stuff... no sugar and no artificial chemicals... and I asked the guy at store (they are all from India), what there was in it and how to eat it... it is all natural food... Gotta go...

    Anybody know where you can learn more about truckin, than a truckstop?
    The so called drivers lounge at a dealership. Now for the record, I hate dealerships. Since they are (for the most part)all ####### thieves, and if you're lucky they Might have 2(outta 10) actual wrenches.....and of course my theory was proven out today....and since I'm not goin to publically bad mouth them....lets just say after 6 hours of bs.....i did some cobblin....shorted out a couple of sensors&hauled ###.
    BUT I must say...i never new how much I didn't know about the truckin industry....until I was a semi captive audience in the so called lounge.....and I actually managed to hold my tongue.....since I figured the sox I was wearin had more miles than the 7 of em put together....but they were #### sure scalehouse lawyers.....:(
     
    Vilhiem, sshewins, Al. Roper and 5 others Thank this.

    If you run clear bulbs, order a set of these. More light than the stock 60/55 watt H4 but won't overload the stock harness. Plus they are designed to be more durable. I want to get a set for my Camry since it uses the 9003/HB2/H4 bulb.

    They also make an 85/80 watt and a 100/90 watt version but I think the 100/90 watt might blow fuses.

    I remember they made a 160/100 watt off road H4 bulb.
