Jacksonville, FL Area Scheduled Meets-Ongoing

@JPinFL and @ManBeast as a truck driver I kinda keep to myself on the road and try not to upset others. I go the speed limit when possible and I share the roads with others. But there are people that do piss me off every once in a while.

 

I don't really have a problem with long haul truckers in general, as most I've come across on the roads are respectful. I flash my lights when they are passing me and attempting to merge back (if I'm going slower than they are) and they do the same in return. Never had a problem. It seems to me though that the local guys who are running freight from one warehouse to a store are not as respectful and are the ones that make everyone else look bad. The same could be said of most passenger car drivers as well, there are a few... ok, more than a "few" shitty drivers out there... and... ok, there are a lot of shitty drivers. Pure and simple. lol.

 

I think I've seen this one as well. If I remember correctly I saw him on Old Jennings a few weeks back coming from the forest.

 

My goal stance lol

 

My dad was a truck driver for winn dixie for 25 years and coca cola for 10 years he has some stories too lol

 

Just installed these this weekend.

 

Which brand you go with ive been considering these

 

I went witb a brand off Amazon that my buddy has, and had multiple excellent reviews on amazon. its a very solid housing and the lights are the same lumens as the more popular brand tat is on the market. I used the stencil that is provided on diymodifiedtacomas.com. I bought a .79 cent sheet of black foam from the craft section at Walmart and duplicated the stencil to use it as backing to prevent metal on metal and provide a better seal. hell... the cost me 22 bucks, I can go through 8 sets before matching the price of high end ones.

I'll Say that I've multiple light bars on duck boats and my current one Is of amazon and its going strong

 

Surprisingly I've had a few lights that I've ordered from China that are knock off's and to be fair, they aren't that bad. You really have to look around though as not all are created equal of course. The only thing failing on some of the lights I've had are the power packs (T6 lights for my bicycle I used to use). Other than that though, they are solid. I'll save these lights you linked to and consider them in the future. Good find!

 

I have nilight pods on my hood brackets and when compared to the 32 the color of light is completely different when parked facing a wall. The nilights are more of a dim blue

 

Any1 down to hit up jennings on this fine saturday?

 

You would ask after I pressure washed my truck yesterday... I had mud and sand all over the damn thing.

 

Idk now its completely pouring here in orange park

 

Its pouring here too, but it would make it an interesting trip...

 

Haaaaa. Just did mine too.
Takes a steady hand. And patience.

 

What tool are you guys using to cut into the bumper?

 

We drilled 1 hole in each corner then cut square with saber saw then air grinder to smooth and fine tune. Takes a while but worth it.

 

Ive been wanting to do thoae for awhile lol, maybe jennings later, im at town center returning some shit

 

That place is behind the town center if you wanna take it through some mud!

 

I may look into doing the same, not sure yet.
