Safety warning

For anyone having trouble seeing over the hood, get better blindside mirrors - the ones that look like bug eyes(very rounded).

The way I have mine setup are in such a way that they let me see the entire front of the truck, a 2005 Intl 9400. FOV is wide enough around to the point that I can see something in front of the bumper up to 1.5 ft. At night, I can see if a headlight, turn signal, or ID lights are burnt out without leaving the cab. I have the ones with the single curvy arm since the straight arm type put the mirrors too low.

Also, the tripod type mirrors look funky and probably reduce mpg.

 

......ummmmm...no.....lol...can feel things better with no air...used to haul cows..you can feel more what going on in that trailer with no air...call me crazy...but ask a cowhauler....i know we have some on here.....besides that, i dont feel like i have as good of control of the truck bouncing all over the place...and i am ony 5'3 and manage just fine...LOL

 

It was an accident, caused by both people not paying attention

why do we want MORE regulation? we are the first ones to complain about government interference in our lives and all it takes is one accident for everyone to complain about how we need more government oversight, monitoring and management.

we are grown men, we are free men, we are supposed to be responsible men, lets take that responsibility seriously

and accidents will always happen, you cant regulate against all accidents

 

I drive a Pete 387. I set my hood mirror up and out. I can still see it with my seat slammed to the floor. I can see my off tracking around right turns. I can also see everything in front of my truck, including the bugs in my grille. That, and I look before I roll.
