    What model? My old man used to buy them for like $80/ea from the KW dealer and they were like a 20 minute install in the T800 with 1 piece curved glass IIRC.

    At least you're at a Petro. I know an awesome mobile windshield guy in Phoenix.

    Moments like this, since you're at the Petro, and you've accepted your fate, just go fully off the Res and chow down.

    Think they have ribs tonight or tomorrow night.

    You can maybe buy vision blocks for old driver tank hatches and put em up on the roof. Drive by periscope.

    I wanted to sneak in there today. Can’t go into AZ sat-Sun with this load. So I’ll grab some steak and shrimp. Get up at sunrise and hit that loves near the state line tomorrow. This delay screwed me in many ways lol. I would have parked there tonight and unloaded in morning

    Also, I imagine being oversized you get at least a quick look from any trooper sitting on the highway.

    Lol pretty much. There is 1 scale in particular. Can’t remember if it’s the NM or AZ one. But they usually come out and look it over if they’re bored

    There's alot of DPS between Tucson and Phoenix.

    A lot.

    And if the scale at the rest area is open, and you get picked, you're getting a level 1, that's all they do at those.

    Like 10 dudes at a time.

    I would have rolled.
    But that's me.
    It's not like a fuel leak, or suspension/brake issue.
    Set up the appt to fix it in PHX and toss the dice, unless the customer just doesn't care when it's delivered.

    But. that's just me.
    Everyone has to do what they think is right.
