Nostalgia & History > Caption these crazy spark arrestors!Date: 01/16/22 03:35 Caption these crazy spark arrestors! Author: santafe199 OK... so they’re not really spark arrestors. If they were, you could call them “spark arrestors on steroids”. Either way it oughtta make for some interesting captions! Have fun...

Author: LocoPilot750 I got a new RAM pickup the other day, it has a 6.7 Cummins diesel, with the DEF & Selective Catalytic Reduction systems underneath, but it lays horizontal. I kinda like the vertical twin stack idea on the Geep.

Sudden inspiration: With deference to Alistair MacLean's 1957 novel (& the 1961 follow-up film) "The Guns of Navarone", these could be called The Guns of Emporia??? ;^) Date: 01/16/22 12:24 Re: Caption these crazy spark arrestors! Author: jgilmore "There's just no spark left baby."
