Random pic thread.

Behind this earlier, looked bad. Back window off and top folded back, hard doors all on with windows down.

Driving to a conference, had to take a detour, needed to turn left and cross the tracks. The light was red, I stopped, but who the hell puts a crossing arm in a turning lane? Didn’t see it there until it came down on my hood. No padding on it either, just beat up aluminum.
Pissed.

Looks like that Charlotte crapolla, of Tryon St. Have you been on the converted 1 way street, that had So many going the wrong Way! I'd be Lost in Charlotte, now!

I saw on a forum the other day that there are several different photos of that truck in different locations. Either lots photochopping going on, or as one guy says, it's a Landoll centerfold (folding truck frame adaptation for rollbacks).

That would be me :lol:. I worked on that project and touched just about everything on N. Tryon that had to due with the light rail. The crossing arms are needed at turning lanes since the train is electric and makes little to no noise and the horns they have on them are not traditional train horns.

was that from braking or getting hit in the ass?

From what I understand, It's from welding his frame for the front slide-in support.

Apparently he did it to his F350 before this F450 with the exact same results. Hence why:

But some were this truck from different angles and some were the F350 in a completely different location but with the same slide-in and trailer.

Apparently he's a tool rep and his trailer had a STUPID heavy load in it

WTF kinda wielding job is that? looks like layers of band aides applied poorly.

Explains the multiple pics in multiple locations...new band-aid every time it bent.
 
He made a local stiff spot with a very small transition in the middle of a relatively flexible frame member, heavily loaded the flexible frame member in bending (tongue load), and added some vertical load at the stiff spot.

In other words, he welded a stress riser onto his frame rails, and then overloaded it to failure.

Damn you. Next time make the arms plastic. I now have scratches in my hood.
