Default You guys ever get tired while driving your truck?

9 times out of 10 I am always wicked excited to start my truck up in the morning and hear her roar. I love taking it out and I love owning this beast. But at the same time, I always feel dead opposite by the time I am done with it lol. At the end of the day, or after a long ride to work or something, I just want to get out of the damn thing. I find myself with a throbbing earache, and my entire body just gets sore from all the hard bumps etc. My truck is very tiring to drive after awhile. It's hard to maintain any type of average speed because it has 35" tires. Also, the loud noise of the rumbling mud tires and loud exhaust can get to you after awhile. Don't get me wrong, I love loud exhaust, but even that can get tiring after a 2 hour trip of stopping and going. I also find that my right leg and knee are in extreme pain from milking that gas pedal lol. Anyways, I suppose this is just some of the disadvatnages that comes with a monster truck, but its definately worth it IMO.

You arent leaking exhaust into the cab are you? Haha.

Yeah I would have loved to be a trucker but I tend to fall asleep while drinving as well. I've found that the vareity on Sirius radio blasted up to 11/10 and the windows down helps keep me awake for the most part though.

haha exhaust leaks, wouldnt that be somethin lol!

ah man, i just got back from a 2 hour trip of just backroads, and I got home and I just wanted to take a nap. Its so tiring going around curvy roads with 55mph speed limits. Course I have an ego on the road, so im doing 65 the whole time so nobody can pass me lol, cause i jsut hate being passed haha

It's not uncommon for me to take a 2 hour drive if I don't have to go anyplace lol. Most of my long trips are on the highway so I don't really notice I guess. It's nice to have a truck on the highway, you can always see what's going on ahead of you. When I was painting and sandblasting water towers I was the only person on my crew with a drivers liscense so we'd leave at like 10pm, get there at 7am work till it got dark. Fun stuff. and I have friends in different states so I'm use to 6-10 hour drives straight through. Only think I hate is when you start nodding out and jerking your neck up real fast. Scares the **** out of me everytime.
