Ironically there is alot of truth to that. But of course I would say something like that though.

The switch is for the lights on my Boss snow plow. You can switch between the truck lights and the lights on the plow.


That's nothing as far as dust.....just cleaned it within the last two weeks. I've had it way,way worse before. I work in a high dust environment, lots of dirt and lots of gravel.

That's cool about the light switch. We get that "fine Dust" here in the Las Vegas valley that finds its way into the smallest cracks. It's a constant battle!!

Yep.

And the plow is the reason I'm doing the gauges now as opposed to later on. Just got the plow in Oct.....decided to retire the 99 F-150 from plow duty.

DCSpecial the plow is very nice!! Great pics!
It's funny, while you are out plowing in the winter I'm trimming the roses in the back yard but I sure do miss the snow sometimes.

Don't worry, with global warming we will all be missing snow(I just couldn't help myself with that one).

Good one Tex!! I am not a Conservative but the term "Global Warming" that is associated with the Democrats' just ticks me off. I don't understand why some people don't get that everything goes around in cycles.... even our climate. Of course our planet is warming up right now... naturally. Then we will head to another ice age and so on and so on. There is not a darn thing we can do to prevent it. Oh well. You know as well as I do that you can't change these peoples minds.

Dc nice plow. The headlights look like the new projector style. They must be pretty bright!

Tex my son and I were checking out your gauges on your gallery. The C2's is what we are thinking of using. I was worried they might be too bright and in your face at night. We are thinking of hooking them up to the dimmer switch. So you could tone them down at night. Did you try this? Also I love the horse pics!! The ones with the cat and dog are priceless!

No, I did not because the C2s aren't as bright as the original cobalt gauges(atleast in my opinion, but they might be for you). It wouldn't hurt to do the dimmer, if you use it great, if not, it's there if you need it(better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it). I know a few that did the dimmers and are happy. Their light level for me is fine, so I left well enough alone.

Glad you liked them. Had some interesting moments getting the dogs and the cat to be still for the pictures. The horse actually was the calmer one(go figure). It amazes me sometimes what she will spook over and what she won't. Dogs and cats on the back, being blown dry by a leaf blower no problem. Seeing a big white sign with scary red letters now that's a different story.
