Why do drivers hang broken tarp straps from their steps?

i see allot of guys pulling dry vans and reefers with them too. I've always wondered the same thing, the only reason i get is what was posted here when i ask....static

i had a dakota half ton every time i got out of it i got a hell of a shock----just thought it was an option from dodge

 

i dont know why everyone tilts there antennas forward, but if you drive for W/S and you have anything but the stock FL or Volvo ones they best be tilted one way or the other or they wont be on your truck long, we go to allot of places a truck shouldnt ever have to go.


As for the lights whats wrong with 1000 lights and chrome??? Personally i think trucks look better with lots of lights just the DOT required ones are boreing to look at.


Plus i dont think you'll ever run up the arse of a bull rack or a Reefer with 1000 light on the back in the fog now will ya?

Because they think it looks cool. It almost looks as cool as a guy wearing fingerless gloves while driving.

 

my gloves will be fingerless by next summer ---got the start of a few nice holes --maybe i can sell them as authentic fingerless gloves with expirience

 

Took the words right out of my mouth. All the lights help the herd of sheep see you at night so they dont run you over.

 

its the other way around--lights up the road so you dont run the sheep over since they can only go 65

 

Well idk if its just my truck, but seems like every time I polish my tanks there is a spray of mud/road grime all along the bottom from the steer tires. For some reason I always thought those guys were just too cheap to buy a mudflap for the front fender and or can't modify their equipment. Now you guys have me questioning my own theory!

 

Thats great thinkin right there VERY VERY TRUE

 

I think that as well...

Oooohhh.....Here's one now!

True......And funny as hell!

Don't say it too loud.....The "stuck in the mud 62 mph crowd" will get their litle tiny feelings hurt.
