Official Fl. Tacomas back to nature bash weekend

CBs are extremely useful tools. outside of the offroad wold, mine has saved me from being in a wreck that most likely would have totaled my truck and injured me. for $50 you can have a basic radio and magnetic antenna with the needed wiring.

 

How did the CB Save you/yourtruck?

 

Im guessing he probably got word that someone had stopped on the trail and avoided a collision coming around a corner maybe?

 

Installing my new bumper today.... Hope to get sliders on today too

 

Sure as hell wasn't at ocala

 

headed north on i-95 at about 4 am, on my way to VA from FL. no traffic since it's 4 am, but then i hear on the radio that there is a huge backup ahead. I call my buddy who is following me and say that there is a backup so prepare to get on the brakes. we come to a standstill, but i left a good 200 feet between me and the next car, with my roommate right behind me. less than 30 seconds after we stop, i hear screeching brakes behind me. my roommate and i both floor it, and soak up the 200 foot safety buffer we left real quick. on our left side, a minivan goes flying by, about 3 feet shorter than it used to be, and on the right side, an 18 wheeler flys by with most of the front end torn off. truck had crushed the van.

had i not heard about the backup ahead of time on the CB, i may not have been able to slow down early, leaving the large gap. in that scenario, there would be no flooring it out of harms way. there would have been one big chain reaction, involving who knows how many vehicles.

sorry, long story.

 

Sounds like the one in haines city threw the fog that killed some people on i4

 

Count me in I'll be up there for the day only

 

what day were you thinkin? and what time were you plannin on getting there, maybe we can meet beforehand of 275 or something, i was thinkin about headin up there sat morning

 

Saturday about 10

 

Where do you live

 

were you planning on being there at 10? or leaving st pete at 10? were you interested in meeting beforehand? also do you happen to work at all children's?

 

i'm in ruskin, but can go all the way up to I4 and take 275, so it'd prob be convenient for us to meet off fowler or fletcher or something

 

We can be there at 10 I don't work all children's but my gf does I take veterans up there
