TRU-BALANCE installed on Life Line

NORTH LITTLE ROCK (Arkansas)   Ron and I made our way to Arkansas this month to visit our friends we met in Dallas at the GATS show this past August.  The purpose of our trip was to install the TRU-BALANCE centering sleeves on Life Line.  Life Line is a Peterbuilt wrecker owned by Red, Robert and Eugene Jackson of OCW Jackson's MidState Truck and Wrecker Service that recently went under an amazing transformation courtesy of Trick My Truck and the "boyz" of Chrome Shop Mafia.  We were fortunate enough to meet the Jackson's as well as the Chrome Shop Mafia gang at the recent GATS show in Dallas so we decided to visit them in their home states.  

We set up the installation at a local alignment shop in North Little Rock.  Word got out and soon we had quite a large audience wanting to see exactly what the TRU-BALANCE products were and what they did.  All in all the day and the installation was very successful.  The internal centering sleeves were installed on the steer axle to center up the wheel and the brake drum and the external centering sleeves were installed on the drives.

With Life Line centered up with the TRU-BALANCE sleeves, we then ventured up to Four State Truck Parts in Joplin, Missouri to visit Bryan and the gang.  Four States is where the show Trick My Truck is filmed and where Life Line was born.  The Jackson's had a towing show in Arlington, Texas the following week so they brought Life Line in for a few touch ups before the show.  Four States is amazing.  It is huge and you can find just about everything you can think of related to the trucking industry and soon we hope you will be able to find the TRU-BALANCE products there as well.    We toured the facility and Bryan was kind enough to show us where the show was shot and some of the trucks they are currently working on.  They are set to do another season of Trick My Truck and are gearing up to begin filming in the next month or so.  

We headed back to North Little Rock and proceeded to install sleeve sets on two of the Jackson's other wreckers that they use on a daily basis.  The guys in the shop were great and understood the theory behind the TRU-BALANCE products right away and installed them on the trucks very quickly.  We are happy to add that OCW Jackson's is now a dealer as well as an installer of the TRU-BALANCE products.  If you are around the area and in need of the TRU-BALANCE products or service, be sure to look them up.  1/800-853-6295.  Eugene will be happy to take care of you.

On another note, the Jackson's are setting up Life Line National Dispatch Towing Service which will be up and running any day now.  For more information contact "Red" at 501/779-4676 or visit their website at www.lifelinetowing.com  He also said that a tour with Life Line is possibly in the works.  As soon as the dates are made available we will post them. 

Our thanks to the Jackson's, Bryan Martin and everyone at Four State Truck Parts for making us feel so welcome and our trip so successful.  We had a wonderful time with everyone and will definitely be back soon.  To see our pictures from the trip and the installation of TRU-BALANCE on Life Line please click on the photos tab on the home page.
