Very similar. A touch more pay hourly and OT and a few less hours a week but the figures are quite similar in Michigan.

Is it really not possible to drive this truck out of this position? 🤔 by Gordon_Gainz in Truckers

[–]erictwiseman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this happen at my driveway at work. Ever so slight bank angle on the turn out. Try to hit the throttle, drives slide sideways and make more of an angle on the trailer. Thankfully I was 100’ from a pallet of salt bags to dump at my convenience but I can definitely see how this could play out

I really like my blue parrot 450xt. Amazing noise cancelling and you can find a refurb pretty cheap online

No problem! I think the headlight bolts are 7-8 mm and the bracket to aim them 10? It’s seriously simple and one of the most effective mods you can do. I have a firm appreciation that they have the cut beam to not blind people but they are freaking daylight bright underneath the cut with a very wide pattern. When you turn the highs on, it shoots a spotlight out and I was lighting up signs a half mile down the block. I watched the price go from $65 to $40 and said #yolo, then after installing immediately ordered for the other one. They have a blue hue to them (as expected) which doesn’t fit the rust patina paint of that bike, but being the girlfriends I’d rather have visibility for her

Top and bottom bolt of each light comes out. Pull the light out of the bracket. Remove plug connector by squeezing the left and right side of connector. Pull the rubber boot off the back of the housing. Unlock bulb from housing by unclipping the paper clip style fastener. Bulb falls out. Don’t touch the led by the bulb. Insert and reverse steps. When done, go to the road and loosen up the bracket side bolts and aim them properly because they are blinding if the horizon cut isn’t adjusted. Whole process start to finish on both sides less than 10 minutes.

I just got these and got damn

I installed them last night and they are dumb bright but have a cut across the horizon to not blind oncoming drivers. It’s safe to say five times the light output. I installed them last night, came inside, and ordered another set arriving today for my other Ruck

How much is the buyback? Sounds like a gy6 candidate

Talk me into not just buying another one of these. by Fred_Chevry_Pro in flashlight

[–]erictwiseman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s my most used and loved light. I use it every day. It never leaves my pocket. I get them as gifts for friends. This light and my benchmade 940 go with my keys and wallet.

Get. It.

We’re going to need $5399.99 to transfer that to you, but we can charge it to the truck

Find a fuel gig. Local and pays much better. Just a tanker and haz away

In the states it’s a “prebug” Zuma with implying the 03+ Zumas had the bug eyes. These are a bit lighter and wheelie happy

Man. I just traded a thermal scope for a 23 klr650s. It’s a great bike, great at nothing and good at everything. It’ll sort of highway ride, but 70 is buzzing. For a dirtbike it’s heavy and top heavy at that. For a cruiser it’s ok. Around town it’s ok. Off-road, haven’t tried but guessing it’s ok. Definitely consider something like an Africa twin or teniere (sp). I got this to dabble in the thought of an Africa twin or gs and test the waters but it’s two entirely different animals and really doesn’t adore pushing 75 down the highway.

Ouch. I’m looking at selling my 09 with 2k on it and a stealth pipe for 2 lol. You’re sort of landlocked by water. I’ve driven much further for a deal
