And I wonder why the neighbors look at me funny?!?

[Jones]

Can't believe they actually pay me to play with this rig.

 

[Armada]

That is soooo awesome!!

 

[Polverone]

HEMTT rig

Any chance you could post a full side shot of that awesome piece of equipment?

That thing is to die for.

 

[mangus580]

Good idea P.... Jones, why dont you drop a few pics of it in the Photo Gallery?

 

[Jones]

Will see if I can't take a few more shots of it for you guys. Bear with me though as it gets parked out at the ranch nowadays, after a few nastygrams and the torch-light and pitchfork parade by my local homeowner's association.
Jeez, some people just don't appreciate the finer things in life...

 

[Longhunter7]

How dare they!

Jones,

The are envious because your truck is bigger than their p.o.s. Hummer!

Thet sure would be happy to see it if you had a problem like the Gulf Coast!

 

[Polverone]

Yeah you bet they would be happy to see you.
Having a shop close to you (in Yuba City) I know that their minds would also change if the Sacramento or Feather River levees let go like in '99 that wiped out Olivehurst.

 

[emmado22]

What kind of HEMTT is that? M977, 978, 984 or LHS?

 

[Jones]

It's a cargo (M-977), we've also got a 984 wrecker but the engineers are the ones who get first dibs on it. My personal one (another 977) is in pieces but should be complete and running by the end of the year. When I get to roar by my place in this guy, it sure makes the neighbors nervous. Heck, it's not like I've used anybody's Ford Expedition for a wheel chock this month.

Big ride

Heck, it's not like I've used anybody's Ford Expedition for a wheel chock this month.

LOL Now that draws a great picture.

 

[Desert Rat]

Um, don't you mean speed-bump?

 

[Desert Rat]

BTW, P. I LOVE your avatar!!!! Now to change the "1" into a "2"!!!!

 

[Polverone]

Hey DR, Good to see you again.

Yeah, the avatar.
That was in my Ferrari Duece with some of Bjorn's super-juice Bio fuel in 'er. Can't make 200+, tach hits the "Danger" zone.
Photoshop could make it happen though.

 

[Wyattearp]

thats the good thing about where i live, whenever they see a piece of equipment like that around or moving down the road its all thumbs up and if setting they want to see it up close, glad i live where i do.
I second the idea if they were up to their butts in water and sewage like the pple of Miss. LA. Ala. their tunes would change. But its stupidity like that which breeds ignorance.

 

[Westech]

you know how many times I have had the cops at my door because of my deuce? lots! some people just dont get it

 

[Stretch44875]

I am in your avatar. With not one, but two vechicles!
LOL...

 

[Wyattearp]

Westech your right, they just don't get it. Closed minds in closed spaces, doesn't allow much room for the brain to breath LOL

 

[Monster Man]

guess I was lucky- never got one complaint about my deuce and I was in a pretty nice neighborhood most of the time!

 

[rdixiemiller]

My neighbor loves my deuce. He is a disabled WW2 vet. I get a lot of waves while driving. The other day 4 college girls flashed me as they passed me on the 4-lane!!
Now that's real support!!

 

[Recovry4x4]

Now wait just a minute here! All the thousands of miles I've logged in deuces and I've not been flashed yet. Not fair. BTW, as I see it if they flashed you I would consider that no visible means of support. Sorry ladies if any are looking on!
