I've always done things this way... If somebody tries to come over in front of me without a blinker... I do my best to prevent them. It is an illegal lane change, and I refuse to let them if I can. I know it's not my job to do that, but dammit, follow the #@#@$ rules, you're not special no matter what your mother tells you. Now on the other hand, If I see somebody with a blinker on, it's not an automatic that I'll let you in, however, if the person is being nice about it and "asking" to be let in and I have the ability to let them in without causing myself or others any danger then I'll do my best to let them in.... UNLESS they are going to get in front of me and drive slower than the 4-over-the-speed-limit that I usually drive. If I let you in front of me, don't insult me by screwing me over. Furthermore, one law that Houstonians seem to ignore.... the highway has the right of way. That means that when you enter the highway, you yield to highway traffic and don't force your way in. Traffic exiting the highway has the right of way, so yield to cars coming off the highway. I'm sick and tired of drivers trying to prevent me from getting on the feeder roads, and I'm sick of people trying to force their way on to the highway.

I know that last piece didn't have anything to do with Muddy's video, but I just felt like throwing that in there to vent :D In Tony's case, that guy forced his way in so he wouldn't miss his turn instead of admitting to himself that he was in the wrong lane at the wrong time and turning around when it was safe, which is another HUGE problem that drivers have these days. I need to get me a dash cam so I have proof because somebody is bound to cause a wreck with me with how much I drive daily.

[gary63]

Totally agree. Driving the flatbed around i guess everyone assumes its gonna be slow so they pull right out in front of it. Which, is even more idiotic because its a 7k lbs. 22ft truck that will move you Honda with force, as well as being worse in the stopping department. See where a problem could come in.

The drivers around here astound me every time i go anywhere by their selfishness, yes, selfishness. If there's a lane closure or lane exiting, don't get in it and try to cut up the line to get ahead of everyone and cut in at the last second. The ones that do that ARE the problem. Them cutting in at the last second forces everyone to slow down, thus creating a backup.

Just if that driving test lasted through the first few years AFTER someone gets their license. :banghead:

More on point with Tony's vid. Spending a LOT of time in Houston making deliveries, etc i've had it happen a LOT where we need over and put on the indicator and they speed up so you can't get over. So sometimes i fit in that space, just to make a point. Oh, and they FREAK OUT when you keep going on the shoulder beside them because "you couldn't get over". ;)

Okay, rant over. :p

[Mudderoy]

I don't know if you remember "Road Rage" One of those instances where someone was running up the lane that was closed in a little car that I denied, well this guy in the truck was trying to retaliate for him. Either knew him or thought I needed a lesson in manners. He too was denied. :D Yes I am a menace.

I actually got hit by a taxi minivan in traffic because he zoomed up the shoulder and picked me to get in front of. I didn't let him and there was paint transfer. Turns out he had a fare that didn't want to be late to the airport. As it happened, the fare was late, had to call another taxi, and a cop chewed the taxi driver out saying that I had the right to plow into him if I wanted to because it was my lane! This was in my old Cavalier, so no damage to my Jeep :D

There is somebody watching over ALL of us. I stopped for lunch at Jack in the Box and when I came out, a very elderly lady had mistaken the gas pedal for the brakes. Her car launched over some boulders and hit a truck in the windshield before coming to rest on its side. There were workers standing on that side of the truck moments before this happened. By the grace of God, they were out of the way before the accident occurred. Some men ran over and up-righted the car and carried her to safety because there was gasoline spewing from the wreck. Also by the grace of God, the woman is completely unharmed. Prayers were definitely answered here...

I've gotten a lot better over the years, and that's a very good thing because especially in Texas you never know who has a gun in the car. Now for you, with dash cam as evidence and a nice big bumper on the front.... running in to them is tempting :D

Trucking across kansas last night it was icy. In fact, I didn't make my destination. I turned around and came home. Should have stayed home to begin with.

Here's the mirrors amd air cleaner on the passenger side
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/22/myby2yge.jpg

Later on, the ice piled up and caused the poorly designed Kenworth wipers to beak. I carry new ones but the end of the arm had broken off. This was the Oklahoma engineered fix to keep it from gouging into my windshield all the way home

The wheel hub thing is kinda cool. When things are just right, they will extend all the way out until they touch the wheel by the bead. It really looks cool then. This doesn't happen that often really. I've been Trucking 20+ years and only seen it a few times

Not really on my way to work but rather while I was there. I consider it OK to put it here because while I'm at work I'm always on my way to or from. lol

Trucking across kansas last night it was icy. In fact, I didn't make my destination. I turned around and came home. Should have stayed home to begin with.

Here's the mirrors amd air cleaner on the passenger side

Later on, the ice piled up and caused the poorly designed Kenworth wipers to beak. I carry new ones but the end of the arm had broken off. This was the Oklahoma engineered fix to keep it from gouging into my windshield all the way home
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/22/gy4uhymu.jpg

Not looking forward to using a hammer to knock the ice off of the glad hands to get this thing unhooked. I sure hope it's melted by then

Here's the mudflaps amd landing gear for the trailer. What a mess

This is the coolest thing. This happens occasionally when the conditions are just right. Water slinging off the center of the wheel hubs freezes causing this crazy formation.

Then, I come home to find that ice has taken out the pole between my house and the electric company's lines. One more thing to do, I guess. Damn, I hate winter!!

Been there! Had a run a few years ago from new mexico where it snowed for maybe 700 miles! We were one of the only vehicles able to make the hills... Anyway, the wheels started like this.

And ended up like this

http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h401/xj-wheeler/CIMG9430-1-1.jpg

And our... 1/4" thick mud flap became 1 1/2' of frozen stuff.

Our little side step built some too... maybe three times its size.

http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h401/xj-wheeler/CIMG9425-1.jpg

Pretty cool to look back on but was a major pain then. At times we were going a blistering 6 miles. per. hour...

I don't envy you driving 80K in those conditions

[Paddletrucker]

Believe it or not I'd rather drive the semi in those conditions. I don't know that it's necessarily better in those conditions but I have a couple of million miles behind the wheel of it so I suppose I'm more used to it. What I dislike, is pulling doubles and triples on that mess. Doubles aren't so bad you just have to go just a little bit faster than what you normally would since your second trailer is a basically an anchor. Triples are just no fun at all. In any way on the ice . Hell, there not that much fun when it's 80 degrees

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

[4.3LXJ]

They never looked like fun to me either. They need to be set up like the Aussies do it so they track properly. They get some good long trains going

[Paddletrucker]

Ours are set up just like those are just a little shorter. The difference is we have a lot more traffic to deal with and are highway system is just not rea.mlly set up for it. I've pulled double 53 foot trailers quite a bit. And I've pulled triple 28 quite a bit. I'd love to try to pull triple 53's

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

My biggest complaint pulling triples is 1. it just flat doesn't pay enough money to make it worth the wear and tear on your truck and that added fuel cost. And 2. it sucks when it's icy and 3. Dealing with traffic

The ones I am talking about are set up more like low boy extensions. The pivot point is in the center of the dolly. On theirs, the wheels for the forward trailer are under the one behind it.

[Paddletrucker]

Oh, I think you're talking about a B train. We have those, too. You'll see grain trailers here set up that way. A b train actually doesn't use a dolly. The fifth wheel is a part of the lead trailer. I used to pull a grain buggy setup like that called a Super B train. The problem with those is they use mire room turning. The cool thing about them is that they're really maneuverable. Easy to back up with two trailers

Another cool one is the log truck center articulation. Saw a picture once of a Weyerhauser off road log truck, no small truck, pulling twenty loaded trailers (downhill of course) through winding mountain roads

In curios, is it normal in warmer climates to run straight water in the cooling system?

Some people do, but the cooling system will rust up eventually

Doesn't 50/50 run cooler than 100% water? benefits aren't just to the cold side, right?

We're certainly not a warmer climate than CA, but nobody I know does.

100% water actually runs cooler. I do it from time to time, more from the standpoint that the green stuff is more expensive than my water hose :P Especially when I'm going to be doing work on the cooling system and don't want to waste $

Impurities raise the boiling point and lower the freezing point but straight water transfers the heat better.

I hear they're breeding with wolves and feral dogs up in your neck of the woods.

They've been breeding w/ dogs for as long as I can remember and are not much more of a problem than a regular ol coyote but we are starting to get coyote/wolf hybrids & the occasional wolf sighting. A guy several years ago killed a young wolf thinking it was a coyote & the DNR about put him through the ringer. I know a guy personally that was surrounded & harassed by some c/w hybrids while bow hunting few years ago, he was yelling & whatnot to keep them at bay; he said he was never so glad to be back to his truck as he didn't think they were still buying his bluff. Point is, they are getting more aggressive the more the coyote is bred out of them.

The wolf/yore pelts are going for upwards $500 last I heard. I've taken around a dozen regular totes this year, but we don't have the hybrids that I've seen. They are only 50 miles north and 50 miles south of me I hear. Hopefully soon.

I've wanted a sand rail my while life. One of these days. I think it'll go great with the XJ!

Sandrails are awesome... But for where I currently live, as well as where I'll live down in SC, it won't work for me..... But they are awesome.. When I was in HS, one of my instructors used to drag race a sand rail... was an awesome time watching it, and working his pit crew..

They're a blast! My dad grew up with them. Our neighbors were moving to WV and he came over and said he wanted to sell us something and revealed the buggy! That was about 10 years ago. By far the best purchase my pops has made. We've made many great memories in it.

Saw this in the parking lot this morning.

Saw a beaver...


You know the big furry ones.... :rolleyes:






The animal.. Im talking about the animal. Must have gotten hit. Only the 2nd time I have seen one out where I live. They are there you just don't usually see them, like Bobcats... they are around but have only seen them 2 or 3 times in the last 10-12yrs.

saw this this morning, couldn't help posing next to it.

[oderdene]

friend called me and he saw a cherokee XJ with:
- frame
- front leaf spring
- front axle with hub
- no engine
- driveshaft between engine and transmission

will visit by weekend and post photos here,

is this XJ actually exist or it is XJ body on other frame?

[4.3LXJ]

No frames on the XJs Od. But it sounds like it could be an early Cherokee. They had all that, but with an engine :D

You mean between the transmission and transfer case? If so, it sounds like someone may have stuck an XJ body on top of a truck frame with a divorced TC, like an early 70's Ford or Dodge 4x4.

here is some photos from chinese forum

http://bbs.360che.com/thread-342131-1-1.html

Did some googling and found actually it is chinese Shuanghuan brand, this car named Shjzh213. Mix of some US cars as Abe said.

[4.3LXJ]

There has been some work on that for sure. I don't recognize the front end, or the transfer case. Must be stuff you can get outside the U.S.

Wow, that is different for sure!

I have to have one of those in my life time. One of my all time favorite vehicles. I'd insist on a LS swap though. The V8 it comes with are gutless.
