    I don’t currently run a large bumper, but I have in the past. You do have to be careful in certain places not to damage a large bumper without a lift.

    ***This part or my reply is not aimed at you Mack E-6*** I just didn’t want to reply directly to those who seem to be acting like children on this topic.
    This thread has caused me to think about why myself and other owner operators may choose to personalize our rigs. I see it as very similar to just about anything in life, some of us like certain things and others don’t. I specifically buy things that I may have seen on a rig I like the look of. Occasionally I see something I have not seen yet on someones rig and I buy it. I am only concerned with whether I like it or not, not the other guy. If I like it and want to spend the money I buy it. I don’t sacrifice on other more important things like maxing out retirement savings for over 30 years, living debt free since 2002 or spending money on family if I buy the unnecessary items for my rig. I buy the unnecessary items because it is my money, my choice.

    As far as Chicken Lights go I could take them or leave them. LOL 0F51549D-3454-4D7F-ABC6-673A5B97F398.png

    Really is no different than a $100,000 custom bike you can't ride far or comfortably or a rebuilt classic car that the owner spent more money on than he's gonna get out of it.
    You do it for passion and because no one else, or not many, have one like it.
    To look cool on the stool.
    My guess is they don't have to meet a monthly nut on the rig either.

    There is a huge difference between keeping it clean and adding all the useless "look at me" crap. I keep my generic company Volvo clean, inside and out, but if I owned it (not that I would ever own a Volvo) the only different equipment it would have is an enclosed headache rack instead of the open chain rack it has now.

    wow...with a jump from my dislike of chrome and chicken lights to my sleeping and eating habits...your member name should be Evil Kenevil. And for someone who doesn't care about what I think, you sure have a lot to say about it...prove you don't care by ignoring me, it'll do a lot more to prove your point than talking trash

    I once walked out of a TA, seen another guy holding a guy in the ground in a headlock, telling people to call police, someone did.
    Turns out the LS driver came out after he’d pulled up to go get fuel receipt, caught on ground keying his sleeper on his 389.
    Law enforcement came, arrested guy on ground, LS driver filed against him,
    The driver that keyed his truck was taken to jail, and the custom painted sleeper had to be taken off truck and completely repainted, and the driver who keyed it, had to pay.
