You are probably the luckiest trucker in the whole wide world. Be safe and give OPIE a big hello.

Have you tried loctite on your grill screws? That seems like an area prone to a lot of vibration.

Beat me to it.

Geneva NE is only 25 miles from me!! That is awesome! Love your videos. I’m the daughter of a trucker. I’m so old I remember when you had to have a license to talk on the cb 😂. My dad was Bullshipper and mine was Pink Rabbit. Stay safe out there!!

i with you man, i don't even do tiny spiders

Hey there, you probably solved the screw problem by now, but, my 2 cents worth is maybe Lock washers. They have worked for me many times. Another comment is, I used to drive big truck many years ago. I'm 77 years young but disabled due to spine injury. Bone on bone...sigh. Stay safe and stay healthy.

I absolutely love the style of your videos…..very calm and relaxing.

Nope. That truck stop used to be Newells. And had a good mom and pop cafe in it. Then they changed it over to a pilot. Havent stopped there in years.

You are inching closer to 50k subscribers. That would be a great Christmas present. Nice color in the trees in spite of the gloom. I think I saw a saddle on that spider! Probably a Carolina wolf spider. Thanks for the awesome ride. Safe travels, and God bless.

At 100k he will definitely make more money then driving the truck. Weird time's we live in! Entertainment pays more then actual service

It's been a while since you had a train in one of your videos and today we got two! Thank you and take care!

That spider was a tarantula. They are very nice. I have owned a few. One had 7 legs

Good on you both Kurt and Opie

Am pleased to have subscribed to your channel. Wishing you and your family Happy and enjoyable Holidays.

Thanks for stopping by the M60A3, ( the tank ), spent a LOT of time on those before we got the M1's

A red oval on the crown will fix up the grill 🤷‍♂️

Locktight them

Yes I agree

HWY 50 in kansas sounds like the kind of place I would love to live.

That movie is the reason why I haven't eaten popcorn since 1990 lol

The truckstop was owned by the Newell family until several years ago. They have since sold the facility which in turn has contracted with Pilot for the fuel sales. The restaurant has been subleased to a company to operate title. At one time it was a real full service truckstop with a tire shop, CB shop, truck wash, and restaurant. No longer family owned and the services have been curtailed like so many other Mom and Pop operations.

Send some of that rain down south we dry

"Guaranteed happy ending" 😂

Try cutting small pieces of rubber behind them might help with vibration so they won’t work loose.🇬🇧

Very good video kurt thanks for sharing

Silicone Works really well on screws that get Loose.. plus its not hard to take said screws back out. Just be easy on the Dab of Silly~Cone so that its not a mess ...just takes a lil .. is silicone also works really well on the screw on lug nut covers and they won't back off. ✌️ 💚 & 18 Wheels Rollin

Havent seen you in a bit. Im not very technical some algorithm thing i guess.Glad to see you again.👍

Schmidt I will be starting orientation tomorrow for a trucking company. Maybe I'll get to see you and the German on my travels. May the LORD watch over the two of you and grant you safe travels!

That's not good

That was a Texas Brown Tarantula. They are all over western Kansas.

I switched out our KW Grill like yours out to a louver style, which looks sharp. You might try doing away with the oval washers under the screws, cut and drill a pc of flat that would span all the way across. I think the oval washers tend to turn and lets the bolt loosen up. I would also use flange headed bolts with serrations under the head, and put a shake proof washer under that. Both are designed to bite in to whatever you are fastening to. Any Fastenal will have them. Good Luck !

Hi Kurt. I'm lucky I didn't catch the part about the spider you were talking about I was walking through the room. But I will say I am not a fan of spiders at all. The movie you were talking about I won't even say the name hahaha I've never seen it and every time a trailer would come on I would immediately change the channel. OH yes that was a beautiful W9. You and Opie have a great run stay safe.

Hi Wayne. Nice truck you have there. Kurt, you and I have the same problem. We are both big and tall guys. Wide bodies describe us best. Trying to skinny down between trailers parked close is a no go. Give Opie a belly rub for me. God bless and stay safe.

Hello James my name is Wade not Wayne. No worries it happens all the time. And thank you I appreciate that.

Amazing Goop from O'Reilly, Autozone, Wal-Mart, Napa will fixed the issues of grilll screws

Beef is what for dinner

Tarantulas mate this time of year.

I hate those auto inflation system, get called in on a sunday for a flat tire, and by the time you get there its a slow leak and the driver says "I didnt check to see which one it was, thats your job"

Good man

Hey try lock thread compound on your clips if they’re threaded

Train!!! 👍

M-60 Tank. I drove one back in the late 60's.

That's a wolf spider.

Don’t know when you were in Dodge but a couple of days ago they had zero visibility all the way to garden city. Fog was terrible. Glad you had a good day. I am worse than you about spiders and could tell you a funny story about two of my spider experiences but it would take too long. You and Opie havagudun and stay safe.

Go close to the top and the bottoms of the ribs and wire them in instead of using the clips, or as an assist to the clips

Use some threadlock on the screws, it should help to keep them from vibrating loose. If that doesn't work, try some PL400 or weld them and that will work for sure.

Try a product called locktite. Comes in different strengths. Which one you use depends on if you want to remove the screws at some future time.

👍

I dunno, man. That might be too heavy to pull! 😂 I probably would’ve moved my truck after seeing a spider that dang big!

Lock tight.

Once I saw that tarantula, I woulda moved the truck! 😮 Blue Loc-Tite 242 on those clamps and you'll be good to go

Keep your windows rolled up so they won't get in

yup a dab of silacone.

Went through mapleton today that kenworth looks good from the gas station.

small lock washers might help for da screws that keep loosening up. ?? crazy glue ??

Back in the day that truckstop in Newton Ks was the shit family owned had a great resturant tire shop always had high fuel prices location was great east on 50 to meet 35 at emporia always full of trucks Be Safe that fog is a killer put me to bed quicker than anything it just makes since to park somewhere safe

Put some red lock tight on the grill clips

I think that trk stop you were at in newton was the old newells trk stop

Hey Kurt what about lock tight on the screws on your grill 👍🙏🏻✌️💪🏻❤️

I wonder if they make lock washers in the size you need. That might mean you would have to get longer screws.

Should ceramic coat your front bumper. Too really make it shine& keeps dirt and junk off bumper

Nice to see Opie with you! Ya know the buy me a cup of coffee thing some have viewers can do? If can do Opie cheeseburgers I’d buy him one. Bet many would. I’ve asked this before not seen you answer it. I’m just stupid ok. What’s the mini lava lamp looking thing on top of your Cb? It’s driving me nuts. Thks! Safe relaxing travels to ya. And opie.

has some one been watching bass master... creep on a leash is pretty good

Hi have you ever tried putting lock tight on those screws or how about screws with lock washers and nuts just a thought have a blessed day I really. enjoy your videos also how dedicated you are to your family

Kurt: You're about to step on a toad Opie! Opie: What's a toad? 😂❤

I love it when you guy's take us with you when you go to wash your trucks. Question, do those guys make good money working at a truck wash..?

Not sure

3:11 my son bought me an "8" ball suicide knob for my steering wheel. I had a plain one when I was driving truck but don't know what I did with that.

kinda ruff on that door seal !!??😮 poor thing!! lay on da ground all twisted.....be safe 🎉

Them were them big farm.sprayer tanks they use for spraying crops they weighed only 14,000 lbs ? You would think it would weigh a little more than that.

We have big grass spiders here in Indiana.

Weld them to the grill.

I would try loctite on them screws

I hate spiders. I am glad they don't get big here. we have brown recluse and black widows but they don't get large. but then they don't need to their bite is just as deadly. as for that movie you mentioned. I got through almost 8 mins of it lol never again.

Put Teflon tape on screws

Nice Video Funny Guy 😀😃😀❤️❤️❤😊

I call it build-a-spot when having to get creative to park for the night

That was one decked out KW. One question I have about older trucks like that is what are they doing for logging systems, paper or ELD? I've only diven newer trucks with ELDs but I'm considering going O/O with an older pre-emissions 379 or a KW like yours.

Locktite blue

Put some Locktite on those clip fastners.

I vote for the liquid low tide also since you mentioned the threads mat not be that strong. Lock washers required good threads to get the grip first.

Correction: Lock Tite is the spelling.

I wouldn't even have parked my truck near that. I would have moved it from that spider.😂

Loctite should work on the grill

Hey Kurt, since you are a drone pilot now, how about more videos in the air?

Rtv will hold

Haven't seen Opie get a cheeseburger lately. Hopefully he has gotten one or two.

Loctite or J.B. Weld outta keep ‘em tight

Nope pilot bought them about a year ago

I know you said you were gonna put lock tight on those screws for the front grill. Did you put the lock tight thredlocker blue on them
