 Looking good old blue. I love that visor Looking great So I'm here today to get the truck ready to hit the road On my way here. I'd stop and check the mail, right? See I'm waiting for a couple of packages and It was a usual, you know kerfluffle I'm just a big cluster of people in the parking lot and I pull into my parking spot at park I get out some Young girl comes roaring up side me parks gets out. Maybe you shouldn't cut people off I'm looking at her like just like what are you talking about because she was turning into a parking spot, right? She was making a left turn across my lane of traffic. So I have the right of way going straight through, right? So I go straight through and then I back into my parking spot, which is beside them So I wasn't in their way at all I went right this I went beside them past them I had the right of way and then they came and parked in on the other side of me So the drivers she got out of her driver door on the same side as me because I had backed in She had driven in beside me, right? And she walks across the parking lot So she didn't even park in the area of the parking lot that was closest to where she was going The whole time she was all yelling at me about how I had cut her off and just giving me the finger And I was trying to explain to her that that's not how traffic works It just got me thinking like on the way here. I was like You know, they had no idea who I was I like to think I'm a good guy I'm a truck driver. I get yelled at and swear at all the time on the road. We're sort of used to it Right. We got a thick skin We're big we're bulky. We're in everybody's way. Everybody's mad at us. It's just part of the job. I don't care So this didn't really bother me but I was trying to explain it like Don't walk away Yelling and swearing at me When I did nothing wrong. I literally drove beside you. I had the right of way Like she had her signal on though So she was saying she had her signal and she wanted to cut in front of me and go into her parking spot first You understand what I'm saying? But I had the right of way. So I drove past her And she said that she had her signal on so I should have stopped Allowed her to cut in front of me into her parking spot and then driven behind her And then back into the spot If it doesn't make sense to you doesn't make sense to me either And I was just thinking these kids like she's probably like, I don't know 17 18 I don't know what she wasn't doing. Why she wasn't in school. First of all, but uh, I guess Different question none of my business, but uh They don't know who I am right? I like to think I'm a pretty decent guy I can just say whatever But what if like they ran their mouth like that to the wrong person like she was a very small girl Maybe like 110 pounds. You know like five three or whatever got got out of her car and I'm a bigger dude. I'm like almost 230 pounds Uh, just under six feet like five five ten. I got a little ways to go to six feet Let's not give myself too much credit here, but I don't know who I am I get out of my truck and they just run like just Gear into me about something that they have no idea what they're talking about Like what if they did that to another guy who was having a bad day who was a bad guy And he just launched at her and just like knocked her out, right or something, right these kids these kids man I was thinking about that that on the way here. I was like, what if it was someone else like she could have really like You don't want to mess with someone unless you know who you're messing with Usually that's my rule for my life. That's what I'm going to teach my kids, you know If you want to mess someone you want to finish a fight. Okay, you don't start fights But first of all find out who you're messing with Okay Don't mess with people. You don't know because you don't know who they are. They could be anybody You don't know what their past is. You don't know if they're on the run. You don't know What they just did, you know, they could have just like murdered someone and they're like running away or something They'd be crazy. They could just be a mentally crazy person find out who you're messing with If you're gonna mess with them, I just don't mess with them. That's a better thing, right? Don't mess with people. You don't know let's think about that on the way here I was like wow and really lippy Attitude on these kids Man That was my morning. That was my morning Old blue, isn't it good? Isn't it good thing we're truckers because we're used to that we're used to that I was just looking at that. I was like, man You were not like taught social skills as a child. Were you? I'm gonna teach my kid better now. He's not gonna do that kind of stuff. That kind of stuff is Through my morning off Kids. All right, let's get some work done. First thing I'm gonna do is uh The other side mirror bracket like honestly, how do you explain to someone who is You verifiably know that they are in the wrong that you had the right of way, but they believe they had the right of way So they think they're in the right, but you know like it's not that you're like you think you're always right No, it's you know, you had the right of way. It's just how it works You're a professional driver or you know, you've been doing this for a long you just know how traffic works And when they come at you like what? What do you do like you can't fix stupid It's like arguing with someone that the sky is Actually blue and not green like someone just out of the blue comes running up to you and say the sky is green Like no, it's it's blue. Look at it and they get all mad at you start swearing You flipping you off and then run away like uh like they won't come say to your face No, they'll say it as they're running away or walking away. This never happened to you guys It's like especially in traffic, right where someone gets mad at you for doing something that you didn't do or You know something that they did this happens all the time when people mess up on the road And they cut you off or they you know lane dive across they almost hit you you honk at them like hey I'm here like you almost hit me and then they get mad at you As if it's your fault for existing in that time and place and there's so much more important than you That they had to make the move they made and you were just in their way and that makes you in the wrong You see these people on the road all the time, right? I trust that none of you are those kind of people No, those kind of people wouldn't follow me because they wouldn't like me because I call those kind of people out all the time We always talk about those people, right? They wouldn't follow me. No, they wouldn't like this channel at all because they'd feel you know like they were being attacked or something Sometimes people just have to uh learn the hard way, you know That they're not very smart. I'm trying to keep it PG here. They're not very smart You can replace all these words with whatever colorful words you would like to Let me get back to my truck Bad drivers man bad drivers bad drivers drive me nuts the drivers that drive me nuts That should be a series on my channel the drivers that drive me nuts drivers that drive me nuts. I like it New series coming soon to tjv drivers that drive me nuts Okay, this broke right there. You see it. You see it? That broke and that is a one piece All the way up there goes up there goes behind the mirror And it goes on top of the mirror That is a $300 part you want to see it and let's see what $300 looks like in 2023. I know what you do I've got to be careful now that I don't get all worked up. I worked up talking about it. I already let it go I already drove away already let it go now. I'm bringing it up again. I'm like I was right. I was in the right I had the right of way driving me to drink Pepsi Anyways, what does $300 look like in 2023? You ready drum roll Oh, it's it's it's wrapped in plastic because it's so expensive and so fancy wrapped it in plastic for you That's that's how you know it's quality and that is worth so many hundreds of dollars That's how you know It's the plastic high quality plastic Where was it made? Well, come on. I know you're here somewhere. I know you're here somewhere I know you have to put it on here. You have to because you have to let the whole world know who made it Come on. Where does it say made in china? Maybe this one wasn't made in china Maybe that's why it's $400. Come here. Come a little closer. Come a little closer. All right $300 If I had a welder and some skills I could weld this in my garage. I'm sure It would take me a while because it's fancy. It's exactly the right angles It's exactly the right length. It's got exactly the right size of holes And look at that the end is flat Couldn't do that yourself That's where the money can oh this side's even fancier. Look at this Look at this. It's got a You see you see the you see the quality of that angle see the quality of that angle That's how you know 300 bucks I'm gonna go and cry over here Did I say $300? I have the invoice right here. I apologize. I was I was totally off Oh, no, it's not $300 at all It's $400 You pay for the shininess Woo truckie Now whose fault is that honestly because I bought the part from pbx, right? It's not their fault They don't make these prices They they order the parts in and then then they sell it to me right the same price everywhere else For the most part very close from place to place So who's getting $300 for that piece of metal who gets that who makes that is it like specific to peter belt kenworth kenworth Are they getting that money? right seriously I don't even know what i'm doing This day has been just Guess that's what probably a half inch bolt on there Maybe a 960 Half inch winner winner I'm wiring up these lights Because these got leds on the back, right? So I just got to wire them up to that These actually have leds that can be blinkers as well. It has a high led and a low led I'm not going to wire them up as signals, but since I'm Working with the wiring and such I figure now's a good time To put in the air cleaner lights or air breather lights, whatever you want to call So this goes up underneath that In there and it'll glow amber It'd be pretty cool if it glowed blue right glue it glue if it glowed The glowed blue But these came with the truck when I bought the truck the previous owner gave these to me He was going to install them and he didn't get the chance until he sold it And he gave these to me so I'm going to put them in and I'm going to wire them up to the same Light system as mirrors Since it's right there So when my marker lights go on Those go on as well Lights more lights the better lights over there lights over here lights everywhere Lights and chrome chicken lights and chrome I just broke out this thing off. That's a tight fit. It's a really tight fit okay, so this light Get stuck in there to the top shining down. So when this is up on top this whole screen glows I guess it'll look great That's a little dirty inside here Nothing a little bull snot won't clean up You get it nice and clean And once it's dried we can stick this. It's just not like sticky stuff. It's got 3m sticky Dual-sided tape right in there. You just gotta hook up the wires Bada bing bada boom We can also turn those into signal lights so that the air breathers are like a flashing signal light But I think that's too much. I don't need that just just Park lights is fine We'll get a little squirt to this stuff Let us sit for 10 15 seconds Wipe it off. It'll be nice and clean All right, I got it roughed in right now got the new uh Bracket on there 400 all right We've got the new mirror on there with le lights instead of the incandescent much better. They are heated I got the heat hooked up And I've got the lights hooked up and I've got the spice down here to go into my air breather light And I got them on plugs here too. So if I don't want to exchange it or Fix it or put a different color in there. It's real easy. I just gotta clean them up there I don't want to stay looking like that So the moment of truth Let's turn on the marker lights and see if they all work or if I'm going to blow a fuse That's awesome. That's awesome. Let's go turn the lights off so you can see better Sweet I think that looks pretty awesome What do you think? I can also make it brighter if I want to I could use the Brighter LVs. Let's try that Figure that out here. That's the brighter one. What do you think? Too bright? I think that looks better What do you think? Let me know down below in the comment section the brighter led or the dimmer led In the air breather. I think I like the brighter one. Is that it again? Put the dim one on That's the dim. That's the bright dim dim Yeah, I definitely think I like the brighter one better Myself It's easy to switch. Anyway, I just got them on like little plugs that I put them on there So if I don't like it, I can always switch it back Easy as that Cool This is the second one first one went on successfully. I think it turned out really good. I'm happy with it So this is the second one Got the top off the other side and stick this in here and See what it looks like So I want it to be right in the middle stuck down to the bottom the wires pointing towards The crease in this because that's where they're going to come out Okay, don't touch the sticky stuff. You don't answer you Straight down right into the middle You don't want to break the light, right? You want it to stick on well? I cleaned the inside so it's a clean surface Lightly push it on there. Give it a minute to adhere properly All right And these wires Got little plugs on them here Just in case I want to change this out for like a blue one one day or like a A dual revolution because this is just amber one day. I'll probably take this out and replace it with Amber and blue so I can switch it back and forth. This is just orange light for now I've got plugs on here. I like using plugs because that way I'm not as committed, right? I can Unplug it if I want to and plug something else in well, I didn't get as much done today as I wanted But we did get quite a bit done. So the visor was installed pbx. That's done. It's on there's legal. It's all set Mirrors got replaced today. I got that done got them wired up. I got the lights and the air breathers done wired up I fixed these front lights under here the marker lights weren't working, right? And this signal light was uh Give me issues. You can see there's a new one in there See those screws haven't rusted yet like this one. I need to get stainless screws right in there, yeah, but uh marker lights and signal lights are working now Oh It's time to go home. I need to go home. I need to go see my wife. I go see my boy.
