    Who still makes decent deer bars

    Excellent video. The part where they show Newton's Cradle is a perfect illustration of what happens when you put a deer guard on the front of a Sprinter, connecting it to the body/frame and bypassing the crash parts.

    Cargo Van I got kicked out of a Flying J

    I forgot about another truck stop I got kicked out of. It was the first week they were open, so it may not still be the case where vans are kicked out. But it's a new Flying J about 7 miles west of the Baytown J, TA and Loves. It's at the Sheldon Rd Exit 783 off I-10. It's about half a mile...

    Cargo Van I got kicked out of a Flying J

    The week between Christmas and New Years. When your inverter makes a really loud POP and then puts out copious amounts of smoke, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. :eek:

    Come and Join my Journey Expediting in a van

    Walmart in Paris. How romantic. Oh, wait, that's April in Paris. Never mind. I live half an hour north of there.

    The other night when I was 12th? I would have been 11th if it weren't for DollarSign. :p

    Cargo Van I got kicked out of a Flying J

    I got kicked out of the Loves in Fargo after having sat there for 5 days. They were nice, but said 5 days is enough. Told me to move to the Petro. Not a problem. The only other time I was kicked out of a truck stop was a Flying J in Salt Lake City, the one PFJ immediately sold after the...

    Board position in Detroit is essentially worthless. I usually don't even check it. The other night I checked and was 12th, and the next morning got a call on a load. This morning at 7AM was 11th and got a call 3 hours after I went to sleep after delivering from Laredo (again, neener neener). I...

    Dinosaurs had lips

    Birds evolved from dinosaurs, and birds have beaks, which are just keratinous lips. So yeah, I can see that.

    Sprinter battery bank

    The only real con with a manual switch is forgetting to connect or disconnect the house bank to the charging system. You don't want to leave the house batteries in a partially discharged state when driving down the road when flipping the switch would have them being charged. When you're on a...

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Easier? You think it's easier for me to sit here and list all the changes I've made to the site than it is for you to be able to articulate your own complaints? Seriously? :rolleyes:

    Who still makes decent deer bars

    Last night, well about 1 AM, on US 24 about an hour west of Toledo, a FedEx Ground truck pulling doubles pulled into the left lane to pass me, got on up past me, and then pulled back into the right lane in from of me. Just as the last tire made it into the lane and as he turned off his turn...

    Pre 2007 sprinter foglights

    24 hours after posting the above, my left headlamp went out. Replaced in 2 minutes and was on my way. Soooo thanks for bringing it up. :cool:

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Again with this. OK, what changes to the site have I made which you do not like? Keep in mind that I have zero control over the EO app or Tapatalk, nor the registration popup.

    Off to Alaska

    I have a ScanGauge II ($159.99 and in stock at the Billings Autozone :D) which will read the code and reset the light. It's probably not the turbo, but just a leak in the system, like the hose or the clamp at the turbo, or the large hose on the top going to the EGR valve will crack. But of...

    Sprinter high idle stick

    I think OVM uses a piece of wood. Maybe he'll give you the blueprints.

    Sprinter high idle stick

    Naw it was like 06 when I got it. All I can remember is it was hanging with all the other doodads and accessories, and was on the top row way up high in the corner. I can't even find one on eBay or Amazon, so maybe they're not made anymore. Most newer trucks wouldn't need them.

    Is becoming a sprinter van O/O still a viable option?

    Even if it's a very used one for $5000, or one that you already own and is paid for, or one that you've stolen, it's a viable option only if you play fast and loose with the word viable. Average weekly miles are half what they used to be, and average rate per mile is likewise half again. 1500...
