There is a NICE long, lonely road right in front of our shop...but, I guess a couple weeks ago, a cop was staking it out, and nailed one of our guys for 51 in a 35...the commander was none too happy about that one. He got his pee-pee smacked pretty good, but, if we got nailed racing, it wouldn't be pretty. With a good lookout, we should be able to pull it off. I just need one of our EOD guys to throw out the "You won't do it, you're scared!" and that should fix everything. I think one of the guys is engaged to a girl that works in the tower, so the runway idea might work...good thinking!!

I know up at Offit AFB, during the summer they have drags on the runways as a moral booster...

the runways here on base are crap and wouldn't make for a place to make a run!!

Dang EOD guys alway causing trouble...LOL... 53 in a 35mph oooouuuucccchhh i bet he had fun in the shirts office try'n to explain that one!

[EODguyJake]

Hehe, yeah...those EOD guys...he lost GOV priviledges for a month, LOC, and has to give a safety briefing at the next formation. He had some bite marks on him for sure...20mph over and you lose all on base driving priviledges for 120 days.

sounds like ya'll got some cool supervision down there. Down here in maintenance they would have lost there minds, prolly would have tried to give him the boot...

what type of landing lights do you have on your truck?

[EODguyJake]

Yeah, our flight chief may not have been too happy, but he's in the desert. For the most part, we cover for each other, no matter what.

Those lights are cheap 5in rubber housings that you see on the back of most semi-truck cabs. I popped the lenses out, changed the electrical end connectors, and replaced them with sealed beam air-craft landing lights. I think they were Halogen brand. I got about the same in all 6 lights as you would pay for 1 set of KC daylighters, and I would put them up against the KCs set for set. Plus, the 5 inch light keeps a lower profile than those big 6 inchers. I had to fab the light bar for that grille guard, so it was nice to keep the lights a little smaller. All I know is that those things will flat scream at ya, and if one gets broken, or quits, a new bulb is about 15 frog pelts. I put them together at a heavy truck equipment warehouse in Fort Smith.

i see i thought they were actually aircraft landing lights!! like maybe off a c130 or something... lol..

[EODguyJake]

Hehe...no, they are just the replacement bulb and lens assembly...I haven't been here long enough to figure out what I can and can't acquire.:handgrab:

Howdy fellers! I am as well from Arkansas. Magnolia, southwest corner. About 2 1/2 hours south of the Air Force Base.
I am also in the Air Force, but stationed in Mississippi Air National Guard in Jackson, MS.

I'm getting ready to go on my first camping trip with my new '02 PSD. I'm currently in Jackson right now and will be heading to Dumas this coming weekend and spend a week visiting with my daughter and grandbaby.
I've been pulling this camper with an '02 F-150 SuperCrew with the 5.4L, can't wait to hook up the PSD to it!!!

I would like to meet up with you guys as well and learn all kinds of new things to do my new truck. Already installed the Superchips Programmer and just today replaced the sport mirrors with the telescoping mirrors.

Sorry so long,
Bobby

Good to hear from you. I hope no one was effected by the tornado that hit Dumas. The Arky's are getting a fair size group on here. Also don't worry about the long post, you can't tell too much in a few words. Welcome
