    Manchester was locked up when I squeaked by..
    Now the one sb i65 in Portland, TN I think it was.. o_O
    The rest of the way, GA wim in the granny all say roll on. The sb FL Jasper was blocked off for construction. Sb Ocala was open, so I had to grab 19 & holler "45 across the wim" lol.. Was closing in on the 11hr mark on line 3 after the delay in ATL, & had to keep er rolling.. I did back off to ~68ish mph though.. Your right, screaming along at 1800 for hrs on end is a little rough on the old gal..

    Worse than some automatic boat anchor transmission constantly trying to force you to lug along at 1000 rpm ?

    Priced them out and they're not cheap. About $1700 new. There's a place nearby that rents them. Going to see what they rent out for or if they'll sell a used one.

    I'm going to have to tear into some cab panels on my truck soon and have been shopping around. Wasn't sure on what brand to go with. Looks like the main 3 would be Huck (of course) 2025, Gage Bilt, or Reliable (chinese). Just didn't know if you had any experience with any of them. I got an estimate from Peterbilt, and even with my disdain for bodywork, it's tempting to just buy the tool and do it myself.

    Yeah at $150/hr I'll be saving money after 12 hours of labour. The Reliable one is what I was looking at earlier.
