Truckers, lets see your rigs!

Aside from the fact that the domestic engines you guys post will run circles around that euro pile, you guys obviously take more pride and far better care of them. Those pictures he posted of his are nasty, and not in a good way.

That pipe going from the turbo to the intercooler on Leiffi’s truck looks smaller than what’s on my 320hp 96 Powerstroke.

Here’s a Canadian that didn’t get the euro truck memo.



Gonna make Rig Wrench pass out. Flat glass, round headlights, modular sleeper. Can’t believe this guy is driving around in such junk when he would have one as nice as Leiffi. Can shave in his trailer rails but I’m sure he’s wishing he had a Scania.

That’s sharp. Truck is a little gaudy for me, but I can appreciate the attention to detail.

Well I just had an interesting night that i think I'll go ahead and share.

I was driving West bound across route 50 in Nevada around midnight which is a 70 mph two lane that cuts across the state through pretty much the middle of nowhere. Up ahead I see flashing lights and someone with a flashlight either trying to get my attention or flag me down. So I start slowing down and once I get a little closer I can see there's an suv parked in the middle of the highway facing west with it's four ways and headlights on and an enclosed trailer behind it on it's side and a woman with a flashlight in one hand and a three year old in the other.

So I figure I better stop and make sure they're ok and have someone coming. I park a ways down the road on the shoulder, throw the hazards on and walk back to see what's going on. Lady had already called the highway patrol to come out and her husband to come. I talked to her for a few minutes and took a look at her car and the trailer. Looked like a trailer tire blew and it got away from her. Hitch was off the ball but it kind of wedged between the ball and bumper but the car looked fine. Told her I had a big crow bar back in my truck and if she wanted I could try and get them unhooked so we could get the road cleared while she waited.

She liked that plan so I went and grabbed my bar out of the truck and started prying. Got it to where she'd be able to drive ahead but there was headlights coming from the West so we figure wait for the car to go by before trying anything. I hear them let off as they're going by my truck on the shoulder and I'm thinking good they see something's going on ahead. At this moment we're both standing behind her car me on one side her and her son on the other when I hear the car coming which was an s10 stomp it down. I ran one way and she ran the other just as the guy plowed head on into her car probably doing 60 mph. Luckily both of us got out of the way just in time to not get injured. Soon as she yelled to see if I was ok the guy starts rocking his pickup back and forth, gets free and starts taking off down the shoulder never even checked to see if the people he almost killed were ok. He made it about 100 yards before realizing he wasn't going anywhere. Crawled out of the pickup asking what happened and telling us he never even saw her car even though it was facing towards him with the lights on. Judging by how he smelled and the fact he could barely talk I'm going to go ahead and say he was hammered.

Hell of a night.

Leiffi RigWrench suggested these guys must be filling the washer fluid since Volvo’s don’t break. You suppose he’s right, or do you have to open the hood to vent the excess HP every once In a while?

Got my new turbo housing all on and was about to put my exhaust pipe omg on and realized the flange is different than my holder was and my other Garrett

Guessing it is a Cat exhaust flange and I need to go back to that.

How are you guys holding up? I'm doing a lot of OS stuff up to 12' wide. Lots of fun.

[bracker8040]

Started with this this morning.

Pulled the FF961 (3.5” drop, 12,000 lb) out and prepped an FF944 (5” drop, 13,200 lb) to go in.
Stripped them both down to the spindles, and am rebuilding the brakes etc.

[bracker8040]

Before on the left, after on the right.

Disassembled the spring packs, needle scaled between them, reassembled with the spacer and shock mount on top.

Replacing the shackles with shorter ones, and reworked the front hanger for more drop.

[bracker8040]

Hangers and shackles.

[bracker8040]

Stripped the hubs. Not sure if I’ll leave them raw or paint them white.

Another one for the wrecked album
