    So cool that you’re vlogging your experience as an OTR driver. I’m a logistics broker, and it’s so nice seeing how drivers live on the road! Love working with awesome carriers!

    My grandfather drove for 52 years in this exact same truck for the later part of his career and I’m thinking about going to prime and driving their trucks but damn listening to the turbo spool up and the gears shifting brings back so much nostalgia that these new auto trucks just don’t offer

    I miss the other kind of semis "cabovers" here in the USA although the length limit increased. I remember I saw them everywhere back in the 1980s.

    Have a W900, did my dash in the lighter carbon fiber vinal wrap, looks cool. Pain in the a** to do, have to remove all the gauges and switches. Use the good 3M wrap, (there's a million colors). Also have a 16" steering wheel, it's OK, took a min to get use to. If you buy that truck, at least you know what you're getting, and all the recent history, that's worth a lot. No expensive surprises. Maybe he'll give ya a deal : )

    I love that truck. Occasionally i drive one that is a tri axle straight truck with a 5000 gallon tank on the back. You can tell that when it was new it was a top of the line truck. Absolute beauty 👌

  • @4runner510
    @4runner510 5 років тому +9

    I think that the carbon fiber would look good, and all that matters is that you like the way your rig is set up and that it functions for you. Like watching the videos

  • @assfault9
    @assfault9 5 років тому +18

    I think the dash would look good purple with all chrome toggle switch extensions and gauge bezels plus some purple/chrome tractor trailer air knobs.

    Wrap it carbon fiber or matte black. Another option would be to go to a lighter color, white would look good but get dirty easily, maybe a neon/racing purple.

    Nice video i always liked the classic and like the old school look, only thing i would add an refrigerator and microwave. would up date the driver seat. Carbon fiber dash but i think a purple dash would work good also. Take care and be safe.

    • @watcher206
      @watcher206 4 роки тому +3

      I would put in a fridge and microwave at least. I don't know how it was in year 2000, but I can say that now If I were to eat out of truck stops twice everyday, I would be spending $170 a week easy. Its also nice to have some food in the truck anyway in case I end up shutting down at a consignee or rest area.

      @@otrookie Sve je u redu, samo tako nastavi. Mislim da te je Kamion King pomenuo u jednom svom klipu i rekao svojim suskrajberima da te zaprate i podrže. Tako sam počeo da te gledam. Odlično radiš detaljno čišćenje kabine kamiona. Koliko to košta u SAD?

      Hahah jeste neznam ni kako je on mene otkrio jer nije mi bas veliki kanal a i ne snimam bas dugo nema ni godina, kaže da je prepoznao da sam nas hahah. Znamo mi svoje, jeste on preporučio hvala sto me pratiš. Sto se tiče čišćenja to je nešto sto ja uživam raditi ili auta i volio bih raditi vise ali nemogu naći gdje itd. Posao sto si vidio sto sam ja uradio mogao se bolje uraditi ali ja sam uradio sto sam se dogovorio, to je bilo $300 za nekih 5.5 sati rada. Ali to sve zavisi u kakvom je stanju kamion ili auto i šta hoćeš da se uradi al ja mislim da kamion sto sam ja čistio bi bilo preko $500 za isti posao sto sam ja uradio. Faktički mnogo bolje pare nego voziti kamion
