    13 pages and nobody really proved they're illegal in the eyes of the FMSCA. Why do so many truck drivers believe everything they hear?

    I believe everything that I hear, everything posted on TTR, and nothing I see with my own eyes.

    That's why my threads have polls, so I know what to do.

    Pretty ###### handy for backing. Hell, any turn of ninety-degrees or more. And since all of this use is at low speeds, it’s the second steering wheel.

    I install on the bottom center of the wheel. It’s just not in the way. Used to have it at ten o’clock. It WAS in the way.

    By touch, I also know if the wheel is straight or not.

    If I blow a steer tire, (never have I buy good tires and cycle them out way before that's a problem) my "sissy knob" (really?) Will be the least of my worries..
    I have one on MY truck, it's handy for backing up. Guess I'm a big "sissy"

    The way I read that is they must be installed on the spoke not on the wheel. So legal but with stipulations.
    The Pete I had the steering wheel was built with a spinner mount built in.
