I remember being a kid and no big deal to ride in the back of the truck. Though Darwin caught up to a kid in Fresno. there was a guy in a bed and 2 in the cab running from the cops. Well, they didn't quite make a turn (S/B Peach to E/B Shields on the north side of the airport. They cleared the chain link fence. They found the bed rider near one of the taxiways...
Last time I rode in the bed was Fall of like 1991. Clovis to Madera and back (HS football game).
Hmm, looks like a break in the weather. Rain stopped. Radar is looking clear. Will probably start pouring when I get to Hollister.

I can't tell you how many citations I've written (to drivers and passengers) for passengers in the back of pickups[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Way too many[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] It was a never ending problem when I worked the reservoirs[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

There was a fellow deputy that desgned the 3rd seat for the Ford Explorers. He had to pay to have the seat tested to federal standards. It passed and he put a patent on it. Ford tried to buy him out, but he said no thanks[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Went into his own little business. made enough money to get away from L.E.

Ive been across the country a few times and back in the back of a pickup truck. and i survived. unrestrained no doubt and one time not even in a campershell. I think all these regulations go way to far. last time i rode in the back of a truck was SUNDAY! i ride iin tha back of a truck allot. i also ride in the horse trailer which is illegal. you think i give a rats *** what johhny lawmaker thinks? No. some people shouldnt drive and that dont make a differnce if people is in the back of the truck or not the driver is still a retard if he is endangering his occupants and if someone Tbones ya or whatever then thats the good lord thinning the herd. leave it alone. we dont need all these restrictions.

The restraint system shall meet or exceed the federal motor vehicle safety standards published in Sections 571.207, 571.209, and 571.210 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
Getting it tested and approved is a costly venture[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Mind as well buy a new vehicle[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] This is what gets me about the pink laced politicians and the tree huggers[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] They tell us, we can't drive with anyone in the back of our trucks or unrestrained in our vehicles[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] But, they whine and cry because, NOW due to their lame laws, we drive 4 door crew cabs, Excursions and Suburbans[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Blastards[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

Festus, We can do anything we want to. Whether it's legal or not. It's your choice. Just when your caught, pay the piper[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I agree we can't control destiny. $hit does happen, when your numbers up, it's up. It all comes down to this- law enforcement doesn't make the laws, We enforce them. Why, because the pinkos don't have the guts to do it themselves[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]They just sit behind their fancy desks and figure out how to make our lives miserable.

My brother just bought a Rubicon worthy Jeep. Pretty nice, he bought it off a local firefighter, who apparently is a Rubicon junky[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] And if you know anything about firefighters, they are meticulously ****[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] on how they take care of things[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]I'll post a picture of it, when I can. It has an onboard compressor, hi-jack, off-road lights, underbelly protection. Looks like I found my support vehicle[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Well, finished making the mount for my winch[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Now if the wind would subside, I'll paint it, really don't want to do it in the garage. I weighed the bracket, it weighs 6 lbs[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] with the winch, it will be a total of 17 lbs[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]. Good thing about it though, is it is held on by only 4 bolts[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] which means it not to hard to take off for the dunes and put on for trail or hunting season[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
