    Looking mighty fine there Mr. Martin. Boy the tail end of Fancy looking like she should. It doesn’t matter how pretty they look when they got a mighty fine tail end, smiles sheepishly . Light’em up Mr . Martin. Nice job, not lit up like a Christmas Tree but done very tastefully, job well done. May I introduce to you the Blingsters, Alice and Martin, and that guy said, let there be light.. Have a great and a safe day. Happy trails to you, D…

    Nice lights Martin, it aint easy keeping them all operational. I can remember running Hwy 88 between Carson City and San Andreas in the winter and giant ice balls just ripping the looms off the lights from the bouncing across the frost bumps on that road. Many hours spent splicing the mess back together.

  • @darrencatenacci2737
    @darrencatenacci2737 Před 3 měsíci

    Like the switch to amber side lights always liked those style lights too. I think what you noticed was the spacing by putting that light in the middle makes it look complete. Hope those amber lights in back don’t cause you trouble with DOT I think they look great back there. Pretty soon you’re gonna have to change Tiny dancers name to Fancier Hawk. Don’t know if I would like those lights out on the mirror arm like that, but to each his own. Hope you guys find a carrier to work with soon at least before resources get too low. Maybe I’ll see you guys on my journeys. Keep it shiny

    Boss man not to be throwing stones but i admire you intentions of testing todays DOT cops. You yourself knows those can't be located on the back of that tractor. Its not one ticket but a ticket for each light. Im guessing youve already added up the points toull receive and what the out come of your consortium and the company your leased to will do or say? I know Texas will for sure write a ticket for each light. Hopefully the driver you hire wont abandon your truck for getting caught with them.
    Again my hat off to you for your admiration for such a bold move.
