Those deer guards work really well, smoked a deer going about 75 mph on an early morning here in Iowa. Little minor plastic damage in one spot but over all it just pushed the deer out of the way basically. Saved my boss a ton of money, they are a great investment

[@anderslindstrom3110]

Sorry Rusty, but the lights, no no no 🙈 One is enouf 🙂

[@chrispellicci6587]

FLORIDA HWP don't fool around with those extra light bolted on

[@MoonKeyDLaughy]

He may blind at night for that he wants extra lights lol

[@ihateputin426]

Leave the Florida man alone

[@mpk33]

Not legal for road use. He'll go to jail & get a huge fine. Then we'll see who's laughing like an immature kid. Those dudes will tear his ass up!

[@matzrat5006]

@@ihateputin426 Yeah they dont need no help getting into trouble. 🙂

[@robocop308]

put the LED lights facing the back of the trailer .. that way when you are backing in the dark you can see clearly

[@SolarWraith]

From a distance, people will think your truck is a UFO with those pulsing lights. 😄

[@robbieeades1956]

Hey Rusty, i say heck yeah to the grille guard but a definite no to the lights. Lets see the trailer roof repair video. Be safe out there and Dueces....

[@brianroth7852]

Love the lights. Reminds me of the old days when we had spotlights on our rides and we changed the bills out to Aircraft landing lights. Used to have them also on my back mounted for loading at night on the flat deck. Quick way to fix the jerk with his high beams coming up behind me. Only problem one time that jerk was a CHP. He was not a happy camper when I hit him with my deck lights😂😢😅😢.

[@moneyprofessional]

Looks like you're ready to take your truck into the Australian Outback!! Really cool installation!

[@what_up777]

That light set up is too Slav. You never go full Slav dude.😂

[@TheMotor29]

nice...but very illegal...DOT will eat you up with those...you cannot run offroad light on the roadway...even white offroad lights.

[@stovebolt448]

Well if you hit a deer or an elk you can kiss those lights goodby. Everything looks clean and squared away.

[@Eldelvolvo]

this is a clow thing. is dangerows for you and for the truck approaching to your opposite direction.

[@iannorton5514]

The two vertical bars are a bit much, One or two horizontal bars look much more tasteful.

[@Wastedaddypylorisis]

Those guards not only will safe you from damages but also looks good on your truck. However,I guess those vertical lights will give no mercy to oncoming road users total blinding haha.

[@banzaii6285]

Grill guard 👍, you know you can't run those lights going down the road. The bottom one on yellow might help in heavy fog. A lot of states require off road light to be covered on the road.

[@mattdrives4757]

A 1-4k Grille guard is a wise investment when an antler in your radiator and a broken hood can cost thousands more.

[@jamesschramm4739]

It looks really good. Here in Texas you CAN-NOT have any flashing red or blue to the front of your vehicle. Reserved for emergency vehicles ONLY...

[@matzrat5006]

same in Canada. they would make you take off and a huge fine.

[@kway745]

Lol, no joke the past week and a half when I’m watching KZbin my wife’s been bugging me about “is there a new Rusty cracker video yet?” Now here it is and she’s out with the in-laws all day. I’ll wait so we can watch it together, that’s the kinda guy I am 🫡

[@pit_stop77]

The vertical lamps are overkill and look naff. Stick to the horizontal ones 👍

[@ctenpneh6498]

No no the 2 verticals need to go, dont put any more on the bar. Do what us uk 🇬🇧 trucks do and have one on the visor brackets wired to your "brights" so flash with them 👍

[@Jens.M]

The guard looks mean on the Volvo! But the light are so overpowered!

[@gary770se]

Looks like a prime truck.

[@matzrat5006]

When you get the grill guard, make sure you can still get at the tow hooks. lots of them block the tow hooks. i see now, you dont have tow hooks.

[@tylerdrever7625]

the brackets that come with the guards have a hook built into them

[@matzrat5006]

@@tylerdrever7625 now he has tow hooks.

[@snappymonkey]

With those bull bars/brush bars down add some cushions and make it a hammock.

[@realVicTorres02]

Great video and your VNL looks great Rusty! Watching from the Philippines. I have been watching you since for almost 2 years now. Keep up the good work. 😎👍🚛

[@KingXxxZzz]

Looks great and cool I’m get one for my peterbilt soon

[@Pandobanzz]

Bro I love your vids and your truck you honestly got me pushing myself to become a truck driver which is my dream job I love the long hours on the road and the thought of seeing new places while working

[@JasonSmith-vd1sz]

I had one of those. Yes they’re a good investment but now you’re heavy on your front axle. I can only fill up my fuel tanks 3/4 or I will be overweight on the front axle. Good luck.

[@anthonyinternational6571]

I like to see the end result of the trailer.

[@daewooparts]

Oh Deer ! For when you hit that deer 🦌 💥🚛

[@samuels51]

I like the way it looks ,,I am also impressed with the work you have done building your truck I have watched most of your videos.,keepuothe good work .

[@neteaadrian1654]

Thank you for the video Rusty. The truck looks nice. Wish you all the best

[@BF-qt2wp]

Awesome video keep up with a great work and be safe out there.

[@massimilianotosi9910]

The Police arrest you ... Hahaha 😂😂😂 , so much light 👍🏻

[@b9bot148]

Legal? You might have a problem. But I guess the only way to find out is to use it on the road. They look great along with that grill guard will definitely protect you if you unfortunately have a run in with a dear or buck.

[@garrettthompson8314]

Wow the new lights are GREAT

[@buckrogers2828]

Hey @TheRustyCracker get yourself some ACF50 and douse underneath as see bolts and bits are going rusty! Light bars the one across bottom if have run the UV mode it shows everything up at night like White lines/signs and reflective stickers like on emergency services vehicle plus reflectors on backs of trucks/cars. Put one or two on rear of trailer and if like in UK your not allowed to have lights flashing etc only indicators on front of vehicle

[@Bravo6GoingDark210]

I'm not %100 certain but I believe in legal terms only emergency vehicles are legal to run red and blue light don't quote me on that but I'm pretty sure thats legal laws for lights looks BA though!

[@cqqkie87]

Mount a light in your sleeper berth for a cool glow effect while driving at night. Major overkill on the front though.

[@beep-xm4jj]

good intro

[@glens2036]

All those light bars are over kill. One would have been just right.

[@kaurkoop]

Damn those side lights are so fucked up, what kind of wire did you use, these lights times 4 take alot of power

[@muzoberk]

Clear English, great guard.

[@tylerdrever7625]

Love the guard!

[@wilE6764]

That's the best truck number ever ! 😂..only problem is if you hit a🦌 now it will break the lights

[@stuartbailey3824]

Great videos Rusty, when will you be taking us back on the road again. 0:59 1:00

[@dmitryn.4403]

Yeah I’ve had deer guards over 10 years saved my ass many time good choice and nice video 👍🏻👍🏻

[@GrdDog]

Not only legal but highly recommended would have saved me a couple of times from damage

[@mudderman8620]

Deer guard yes. Lights are way over the top and over kill. 😮😢😢😮😊

[@ImrealKapil]

Finally....I mean...I ran out of oxygen bruh😂😂

[@chriscargle2639]

Blue flashing is illegal and red are . But the rest you will be ok . Nice lights and bulbar

[@TheHysteria86]

Put two lights on the roof above the windshield, like on off-road vehicles.

[@roadlife2245]

Fair warning, do not get a DOT inspection with those light on there, I promise the will fine you n make u remove them .

[@hamzah1005]

great job rusty..

[@UnionPacificSD70AHProductions]

The one you have is the XG150 model.

[@UnionPacificSD70AHProductions]

Love the deer guard but not so much the lights on the front

"Waiting for the under glow video"!!!!

[@rolfsinkgraven]

Hi rusty the lights look good

[@Mark-zi2og]

Rusty’s torque wrench haha “click” bro I’m dead! ☠️😂

[@gregorystewart6539]

NO, you are NOT painting over the chrome! You have a really nice truck. Perhaps some appropriate color stripes to highlignt. The lights are not legal and you will be in deep Kimchi if you get cited. Put lights underneath or at the back. or along the sides. Some small LED along the front to highlight the unit is probably passable but not what you have. Ticket town Bro.!

[@ronaldallen8765]

Awesome!

[@GavinY]

Put the verticals on the outside of the bar

[@EliteFilmsGaming]

you're going to blind people coming from opposite direction

[@ezrhino1803]

Im pretty sure the installation of the light bars is legal. However....using them on the roadway whether traffic is approaching or not is NOT legal. i would consult FMCSR rules before use. But its your truck and your money I say do what you want.............

[@themoneyman3568]

I think you’re going to get a ticket for those lights on my grill

[@anthonyinternational6571]

Hey what about the trailer, it's finished?

[@johnjerome3507]

Have you seen the new freightliner Supertruck 2 that have or will come out soon. It looks so dope

[@joestamper5649]

I like the light bars could you use them as under glow

Very good.

Leave some light bars for the rest of us😅

[@funfun3015]

Lol

[@Eshon.17]

Where can find those bar brackets?

[@silvioroberti-wt3pl]

Hi rusty the lights look good four are to many to is enough

[@Khaliiid212]

Watching from mogadishu somalia✌️

[@7av2]

Rusty have you think about getting into Auto transport or marine transport

[@knightriderfan1]

I think the two vertical ones are too much. I would've put the two vertical ones right next to where they are but on the side of the pole facing 45° left and right. That way you have them pointing forwards and to the side as well.

[@FlyerFalcon]

i have only one question about lights: WHY???

[@TheRustyCracker]

Why not I’m different

[@mpk33]

@@TheRustyCracker Dudes in jail love them different boys...hahaha Those lights ain't legal, champ. Don't you know yet that the government & po-lice don't appreciate competition, boy?!

[@lukemilenov1670]

Bad decision you shoud have buy the small one its more than enough protect the front except the lights but the negative part about the big grill will hit you in the fuel economy. Cheers

[@EliteFilmsGaming]

true

There’s a wind tunnel on KZbin about there ex-guard protectors and it doesn’t effect MPG too much

[@lemuelcasillas7572]

1 July forward facing blue lights became illegal in Virginia

[@robertfranki5477]

It looks illegal!

Yes the lights are illegal and its a helluva ticket if you get caught running them on the highway.

[@chadpflanz8745]

As cool as light bars can be there useless on a tractor trl that doesn't work off rd alot.

[@stephonmiller]

I saw you at Greenville sc last week, I thought that was you.

[@GhettoWagon]

Do those bars kill any MPGs from the extra drag? They sure look cool

[@payne7761]

I'd happily trade some MPG to save me from having to replace a whole front end on a volvo.

[@tylerdrever7625]

Mesilla Valley Transportation did a wind tunnel study with an Ex-Guard and there was no loss in fuel economy. There’s a few videos about it on youtube

Too much lightbars for me… 1 or 2 mounted horizontally would have been much better and enough

Hey what’s up bro how are you much love

[@davidmcknlght2700]

👍

[@leukybear]

DOT is gonna hassle you for those light bars, just having them mounted there on a road-going truck is reasonable cause to convince them you're using them on-road illegally no matter what you say about using them offroad only
