How to pasify babies ??

Well, we got this great 5 ton truck that is truly a magnificent piece of equipment but leave it up to a bunch of whiny firemen, there are already complaints. I am sorry but I am very opinionated on this and to be quite truthful, IT REALLY PISSES ME OFF !!! Two of our guys are complaining about the u- shaped piece of metal that you must PICK YOUR FEET UP OVER to get into the truck. it is the piece between the seat and the door that appears to be a cab support. These two guys are a little bit heavy and they are the only two that have complained. I am 6'5" and I have no problem at all getting in. They wont tell me any particular reason why that i should cut it out other than it is "in the way". Now, if this piece serves absolutely no purpose, i have no problem cutting it out. But I don't this that the factory put it in there to look at. I feel like these guys want it gone perhaps because it might rub them as they get into the truck.
Can this piece come out or should i leave it??

Tell them to lay off the McDonalds and quit their whining.

RE: How topasify babies ??

It is the cab support, you'd be ill adivsed to cut it....

I'm 6'2" and 299.99 lbs and it never occured to me that there was anything in my way when I got in the trucks.

I'm going to agree with Clinto on this one, but that's just my $.02

whiners

Jesus Mc Christ, tells those hosers to shut their pie-holes and get back to work already.

That is absolutely the lamest reason to butcher a rig for no purpose other than to "convenience" somebody's extreme laziness.

They probably don't know their own home phone numbers "cuz they got em on speed dial.

Whiny wimps, they are!!

RE: whiners

They do know that the leading cause of DAETH for firemen is hartatack tell'em to stop wining and lay off the fatty foods before it kills them or you do.

Idea

Maybe you can mount two wide comfy seats on the back bumper. That way they won't have to climb on anything and protect the rear bumper from damage while backing up. The can also remind motorists to stay back 500 feet.

RE: Idea

Mount a couple of easy chairs in a m105 trailer for those two.

RE: Idea

Think of that big u-shaped piece as paired corner braces. The cab gets a lot of it's support from them and without them the doors would be hard to close/hard to keep closed, depending on which way the cab was flexing.
If those guys can't lift their foot over the lip, how do they ever make from rung to rung going up a ladder?

Furthermore, the cab is designed to be without doors too at times.
