- The Gecko tagged 2 bridges coming through Nashville.

See Chris if you need additional tongue depressors
I knew it was up there but I didn't think it was any higher than my trailer until I was at a truck stop parked next to others and saw that it was almost a foot higher than their trailers. A few truckers drove by and were obviously staring at the height more so than the piggyback itself. The truck actually was secured tighter than the trip out which means it didn't "settle" as far back as expected so that's primarily why it hit. I also could've dumped the air out of the rear suspension and it would've cleared that way too; of course I didn't think of that until after it had hit twice though
And being the car behind me was likely way worse on the back roads to my house because of all the tree limbs falling (dumbasses).

Thanks for the compliment. However, I think a bridge I-beam is just a tad more stout than my exo-cage. As a matter of fact, I can prove this fact. :whoops:I'd hate to see the bridge! That thing is a tank!
Had I gone around 440 rather than going straight through Nashville I think I woulda been fine. They had signs telling trucks "14' 0" next 3 miles". I did slow down and look for the largest gaps, but still got tagged. The first was nothing but a "tink" that we heard; the second was a bit more scary with a bit of a "bang" that we easily felt. Only damage was the right Hella cover got cracked (haven't looked at the light yet) and the bar just above and behind the Hellas looks like I ran into a tree. Looks like just the dent and no actual tube is bent out of place. Got real lucky!
