New age headlights

[IDIBRONCO]

When at night & some stupid little car or regular truck crept up behind me hiding out, letting me drag them down the road & them getting better gas milage sucking along in my big backdraft, or letting me run along lots faster than speed limit & them hiding out from Smoky Bear close behind me,......mostly just crowding me,.......after I'd slow down a bit & that not work, change lanes & that not work,...throw BB's out window to chip their windshield & lites & that not work, ......THEN I'd flip landing lites on & fill the road behind me with LOTS of bright lite!!~!
Cars backed off, other cars started running all over the road dodging each other.......

In the early 90's, I was working for a big cattle rancher. He had me drive his '85 F250 with a 6.9 to town one night. Well, dumb 20 year old me, didn't like to stay home so I took a friend along and went to a bigger town. On the way back, going down a back road, there was a car that REALLY liked the smell of the exhaust or something like that. It stayed there for several miles. I finally got tired of that so I grabbed to handle of the pillar mounted spot light and turned it around backward and had it aimed at that car as best I could. When I hit the switch to turn the light on, that car backed off so quick that I thought the engine had fallen out onto the road! Was it stupid? Yes, but it worked.

Thanks for the heads up on this Nero. I have a pair of these from Baja Retrofits sitting in the shop ready to install. I will make sure to give them the once over before I put them in.

Maybe he thought you were some 'ol COP with that pillar mounted spot lite & maybe thought your next light you were going to flip on would be RED!!!

One night I was out around Odessa, Tx middle of night & kind'a in a bad mood, Cops everywhere watching the 55 speed limit. Us truckers usually kept everyone updated where they were. I'm running along bout 65-70 or more, with a FuzBuster & my CB.

Some idiot crept up behind me & got nearly out of sight nearly under trailer. I'm in inside lane. I slowed down thinking maybe it's a Bear (Cop) running up behind me with radar off. That didn't help, so finally I changed lanes. He stayed up behind me.
Changed lanes 3-4-5 times. This went on for several miles. I finally flashed my landing lights, no help! So I turned them on all time! No help.
Sooooooo....I got in inside lane, started acting like I was sleepy & wiggling & wobbling round in the hwy.
Finally started wobbling round & drifting over into inside median off & on.....stirring up dust etc behind me. That didn't help!! Sooooo I started getting really sleepy, got over in grass & gravel & dirt about 1/2 of me. (left side in median, rt side still rolling on hwy.)
Took about 1/2 mile for him to pull over his car & stop.......I suspect I got his windshield or paint-job or both!!!!!

The sheriff of the town my house in, had a white ram rebel but but the vinyl changed to say "sheriff". I might had made the bear feel that his truck was slow, and now has a blacked out one with a hellcat engine. So to me, its not far fetched seeing them in trucks.

@divemaster5734 they do sell them in a kit from Baja retrofits.

Ouch, I see why you made your own.
Skinny wallet overrules impatience...lol

See started a roll cal and good to know. It would make sense for them to have one, since bound to be dealing with gravel or dirt roads filled with a lot turtles that would be in a questionable state when wet. Say there might come a time to ford a river.

Nice. We have giant puddles like that on our dirt roads. It gets fun just to drive home.

In this case, I'll be fine. All of the Sherriff's trucks are Dodges!

Yea, there only option might be to dodge the river and go find the nears pass over.
