Since I see all types of set-ups on the road (since I80 - IN Toll Rd is the back property line of my land) I see double shorties, triple shorties and even double regulars. Not to mention the extended "show" trucks with 53' boxes behind them. Some of these "show" truck set-ups rival the length of the double regulars and triple shorties. The other day I even saw a specialty trailer that had to be at least 125-150' long. It had rear steering and the works. It just so happened that the rear steering unit broke down and they pulled over right at my property. I headed out to see what was going on. They had no less than 8 IN State Mounties along with thier own 4 beacon ladened escort trucks. The troopers blocked off the right lane so that they could have the shoulder and the right lane to perform the repair. It was pretty cool to see a setup like that on the road!
as a hard core gear head i love to see trucks all tricked out ...but i agree, sometimes its just too much (billybigrigger )
its the same with hot rods or sand rails; if you hang it full of "bling-bling" so that it can barely move its a POS to me
