How do you guys keep the bumper chicken lights all working on a rock truck? All the off road work I do it seems like cornstalks and stiff weeds are hard on wiring.

Well when summer hits, we are heavy on the asphalt. We don't venture into rough stuff very often. We try to take very good care of these trucks. They get washed 2-3 times a week when the weather is nice, if we are off pavement, we are slow going, etc.

Yeah when I'm off road in my t800 I drive like surgeon, when I'm in my fld that's a different story.

It gets a little old if I have to run to Jeffersonville, IN to unload. That is about a two hour drive. We usually unload about 20 miles from the farm. The 379 Pete we have still has the stock mufflers, you can actually hear the radio in that truck.

I'm a flat top guy. I truly don't care for anything but flat tops or miters.

I wish the dump truck was lower... But that just wouldn't be logical. If like to pull all but one leaf up front and put it on air that away I can still set it down but have it up when I need it.
The truck is already a pain in my Arse sometimes in parking lots and random bullcrap areas when we are paving.

A buddy of mine had Pickett's air ride the front of his 359. I haven't been in it but he loves it, he says it rides better than the air ride cab truck he drove before.

I hate air ride cabs for some reason. I don't like them. And being in a solid cab trucks is a bit rougher haha.
Had to have my buddy that drives the freightliner take my truck on a run around thanksgiving. He was less than impressed when I talked to him. He said if I was at you is throw rocks at that thing over my truck. I just laughed.
 
Air ride cabs don't feel right to me, they just lean and wobble too much. I run a lot in snow in the mountains so "feel" is important.

I agree that "feel" is important, but you'd never get me to give up an air ride cab running OTR
 
Exactly, they are more comfortable but... It's that lean and wobble. My truck is bad enough with um, the way I may load it. Air ride cab would make me not like it. My trucks not double framed either so that's just another point to make an air ride cab worse.
