NASCAR edition?

There is a nascar sticker in the logo. I am sure it was a gimmick to see if it could get more sales (barf).

Make the rod storage out of PVC pipe, cap on one end, threaded plug on the other. Keeps the rod dry and enclosed, no mess. Use a few smaller pieces of pipe inside to make dividers.

GREAT idea! The alternative was using exhaust pipe and mush it on one end. Yet the pipe I can put a cap both ends and seal the rod.

So, today I might've seen the dumbest thing I've ever seen in my 2 years out here on the road. And I've seen quite a bit of stuff. So tonight (and all day today) I drove down I-75 South. Raining hard all #### day and night, not light rain, but having the wipers on full blast pretty much the whole way. So it gets to night time and I happen to notice something really bright to the right of me as I'm passing a Prime driver in the high altitudes of the Tennessee Mountains, and what do I see?

The driver has in those Dr. Dre Beat's type of headphones (which means it's covering both his ears), his ELD (which is normal), his phone on a mount (which again is common/normal) and A BIG ### IPAD TYPE OF THING PLAYING SOME TYPE OF MOVIE OR TV SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!! The IPAD type device was mounted on the drivers side of his cab. The inside of his cab was glowing from the all the devices going and probably why it caught my eye, even with the rain coming down like it was.

Foggy, tainy, in the mountains, night time and he had the headphones covering both ears and the IPAD going.

So if a cop happened to pass by him - I know the headphones would be illegal covering both ears like that. Surely his IPAD device mounted on the drivers side of his truck would be illegal too, right?

Never seen an IPAD mounted on the drivers side like that before or the headphones that cover both ears while driving.

Ah your new here (nothing wrong with newness). Here rain is known as tain. Otherwise rain is considered a swear. (fixed your post)

Another thought I had for rod storage was to make some L bent tin. I have a large section of 14 gauge I bought for rocker panel repair. If the L sections were large enough I would be able to slide in the 10# boxes I get.

HHere again the point of going with the listeroid and the wire welder is to get away from the fuel hog genset.

Take a second look at the bulbs. The black marks and white finish (non glass) that are on the bulb between the taper and the base are a pretty solid give away that they are LED.......

LED's are bright as hell. Those aren't LED's. Those leaving an increased carbon footprint that is going to damage the children.
