6" Oval LED Stop Tail Turn Light with Integrated Back-up

Symmetrical and sleek, the innovative 6” Oval LED lowers inventory and maintenance costs while saving space for other controls on box trucks, vocational trucks, and specialized vehicles.

Pretty cool lights... only about 30 years late for the back of my 40.

Based on the link, it looks like they could be mounted using a standard grommet. How do your mounts work?

And it appears they make a 24v one as well. Oh, the joys of 24v

 

[stevebradford]

They have a lot of options. There’s either a rubber gromit, different coloured plastics or steel possibly even stainless anti theft mounts. They make the lights for most of the trucks on the road, you will see the lights and mounts on all the dump trucks.

Can eggs survive upwards of 4 months on a sail boat out of the fridge?

I highly dought it. We used to plant eggs around the yard the part of Easter would find it like 2 months later. It was rotten on the inside

I never got to see the city of Prince George just a stopover at the airport. Did your city survive the horrible fires of 2017?

That part of my life was over 30 years ago, still have good friends up in that area and everyone is doing well.

All parts of BC are fantastic

This is kinda interesting. That mileage increase with only bodywork changes seems hard to believe. Probably a bit inflated but still..

Makes you wonder why car makers dont try a little harder to fix aerodynamics.

Custom Honda Aerocivic Gets 100 MPG But It's Seen Better Days

This 1992 Honda Civic was fitted with aero components over 10 years ago to create a super streamlined, high-MPG car and it's still on the road.

Just imagine what a 3B Cruiser could accomplish with some carefully crafted fibreglass bodywork. Or even carbon fibre to reduce weight.

I remember that car when it was new. It was amazing. I’d like to see, own and drive a 2001-2003 TDI
with fairings like that.
BMW built a 240 mpg 1 cyl car. It immediately vanished.
I wish a Canadian company would step up, make something worth while.

Any recommendations for a good restaurant near Duncan/Ladysmith? These days it’ll need to be one with a patio... that’s open.

 

[seapotato]

Just Jake's was always good...not sure on the patio situation tho. Might be they only do the brew pub next door, really don't know.



I'm kinda spoiled in that the crow and gate is around the corner from me. Have a really nice widely spaced patio out in the garden, so we don't tend to get much further away these days.
Can be busy on nice days tho. Long wait for a table and no reservations.

There is some kind of Zacks Tavern on the main street in Ladysmith. They built a big wooden deck. 2 pm - 8 pm Sunday
I ate there before covid and the food was okay
text me alberta area code, 585 Three 8 two five I could probably pop into town.

 

[bikersmurf]

Thanks... both look like good options, checking out the menus now.

 

[bikersmurf]

Planning on Just Jake’s.... Ladysmith is an hour extra drive and we’re not up for it today.

I’ll have to connect with Cruiserpilot another time... hopefully life will slow down somewhat soon. It’s been over a year now without downtime, and it’s getting old.

Bit of scrabbling from the gutter this afternoon.

Apparently this little dude fell out of bed.

Good job on the photo, that is pretty neat. Nice the bats seem to be making a bit of a come back from whatever that fungus was they had. I've been seeing more flying around this year. Just gotta be aware of rabbies potential still if handling I think. Oh, and clean your gutters.
