what do you think

Chlsnk · 02-02-2009, 06:03 PM

Looks like a carbon fiber esque' neckin knob.

thirdstreettito · 02-02-2009, 07:46 PM

No power steering?

Those are illegal in this state.

dieselarmy13 · 02-02-2009, 09:10 PM

I rocked the hillbilly power-steering, as well. Until it caught my shorts and almost caused me to hit a tree. Sure looked cool, though.

**N2TRUX** · 02-02-2009, 09:27 PM

Uh....well...uh...never mind.

rick1956 · 02-02-2009, 11:54 PM

I thought they went and made those illegal. Seriously. The only places I've seen those things in the last 20 years has been in tractor/forklift type stores.

They were pretty popular with the jeepin' crowd. Those things could make or break a race when it came to how fast you turn those mudders from lock to lock...

Guess you had to be there to see it. I'm a big dide with little bird legs. From aprox. late Jan. till mid Nov. I wear fairly baggy (no, I'm not THAT guy) cargo shorts, cause they're comfy. Combine that with a big steering wheel, a big thick seat, and a big suicide knob that I found in the ol man's shop that was probably off a tractor, and hilarity ensues.

I took it off after my first outing, and has been retired.

I'm married now, I don't steer with a knob anymore.

hows your tach attatched, to the underside of the dashpad or on the bezel?

73CheyenneSuper20 · 02-03-2009, 01:27 AM

All I see is a red X... But, guessing from the comments, it's a steering wheel knob.
I heard those were illegal in this state too, when people were getting into accidents, they would hit the steering wheel, the knob would go into their ribs/chest breaking ribs and puncturing the heart and/or lungs....
besides all those other problems that was just mentioned...

smashingchuck · 02-03-2009, 02:54 AM

stay in school, kid.

fast75 · 02-03-2009, 04:33 AM

come on you guy's give him a break, maybe he has suicidal tendencies. for real Poke, get rid of it.

heavychevy79 · 02-03-2009, 04:44 AM

dammitmitchell · 02-03-2009, 06:09 AM

its attached to the underside of the dash

pokethesmot · 02-03-2009, 07:53 AM

and that knob is just for when i go off roading

Damien · 02-03-2009, 02:44 PM

So you take it off until you are going off road, then put it back on?
"Trucker Knobs" are also illegal in MN. I sure would hate to get pulled over for having that, only for the cop to find out you don't have a drivers licence.
