^^^ Don't let'em getcha down. They ain't worth it.
I would certainly agree. We are a peer group with some common interests. I expect and assume differing opinions and people making comments that they see as applicable. Rarely any good reason to be upset or characterize other inputs in a very negative way. A few salty characters among us spices the place too. Chips need not be on shoulders when we know no rancor was intended.I hope you don't leave. Your positive contributions and common sense are appreciated over here.

In SC, anything more than 4' past the rear bumper must be flagged (1'x2' red flag), or a red light at night. Can never exceed 6 feet.I was wanting to make a truck bed extender that goes in the hitch like this
Truck Bed Extender
Amazing deals on this Truck Bed Extender at Harbor Freight. Quality tools & low prices.www.harborfreight.com
But what are the actual legal requirements.
Like anytime you leave a lumber yard with PVC or boards longer than the truck, they get flagged.
So is there a law or something that specifies a given distance or something?
I never see bike racks or cooler carriers that go in the insert get red flags.
Anyone know?
It gets harder and harder to want to contribute. Social media has ruined so many. It seems its just a game and words have no consequences...lets see who can be the most offensive.....and if you take offense to what someone says then you are just a "snowflake". ITs sickening. Too many keyboard warriors and free speech blah blah blah. They dont treat posts like a face to face conversation with another human being because they can hide behind a keyboard and screen.
This post is proof of that. And I still cannot believe the number of people defending the useless comment and trying to justify it by saying they didnt know what my plan was. Like does it even matter? I asked a simple question as to what was required to AVOID a red flag. Regardless of my intent, How is simply say to use a flag and not worry about it useful to ANYONE?
Just tired of the usless BS that goes along with commenting here anymore really. How many other people that used to be very active here and highly knowledgeable have slipped by the wayside for the same reasons. Just a bunch of ungrateful and argumentative people run the good folks off. The forum as a whole is loosing good content in lieu of BS useless filler and its sad to see.
No your comment didnt send me off a cliff. But even this reply is exactly what I am talking about. The "maybe internet forums arent for you"??? Really. Internet forums (this one in particular) used to have the "tone" of just a bunch of guys hanging around the garage having a cold one and shooting the $hit and helping others out when needed. Anymore no one cares what they say, helpful or not. Its all about getting a reaction or boosting post count (trolling).Wow, my comment sent you that far over the cliff? Maybe online forums are not for you....
No your comment didnt send me off a cliff.
Im just pointing out that its comments exactly like yours is why I stepped away for several months.
Because it gets tiresome to simply ignore/scroll past said comments when they happen so frequently. It is far simpler to just abandon the forum all together and never have to worry about it again. Its funny that you are still trying to defend your statement....I asked a simple question. You post in no way came close to answering said question. So why even post? Just to troll? Just to maybe get a reaction and cause drama? Thats not helpful to anyone and is the single biggest think I hate about other social media. Its just sad to see it has migrated to this forum.
