BFG is out 4-5 weeks on 35\'s!
What a weekend. Last planned ride on my 32's Saturday. Pretty easy trail for the most part with a fun creek to run through. Ran the trail one direction then came back following the creek managed to ben my transfercase skid on a rock. Yeeehaaa! Go to do this clib out of a ravine with a little trickle of water in the bottom.....3 trucks made it and I was not one of them. Damn clay....could not get the tread to clean on half wore out tires. So we come back up through the creek. Guy 2 truck in front of me pulls out. I'm comming and about the same spot I hear Blluuuggg splash and the front of the truck drops. Cut a side wall. Get dragged out since I can't get the fron up out of the hold with one side on the rim and the tire off the bead. Change the tire and call it a day.
I'm running about 55mph on the hwy headed home and all of a sudden the back of the truck drops all sorts of grinding I get a hols of the truck look out my left window and watch my right rear tire PASS me in the median. rolls right up into oncomming traffic. They all managed to dodge it. As I grind to a stop on the brake drum I watch my tire hit the side of a Ford ranger waiting for the light. Sucker was still rolling about 40 mph. Hit it dead square in the door and caves it in about a foot blows the window out. THANK GOD nobody was hurt. Left a huge BFG foot print in the door.
Few of my buds come along lend me a hand getting the truck back together as we wait for the cops. Feel bad for the poor folks who truck my tire just tore up. Cop was cool and so were the people. No tickets just got to get these folks truck fixed.
So I have my Tax return in the bank. Head over to order new tires and the guy calls the warehouse. BFG has run out of 35's. They tell me 4-5 weeks before BFG gets them back out. So I'm off the trail till the end of March it looks like if I want BFG's I don't have enough decent tires of the same size and being double locked I would end up driving around in circles.
Heck maybe I'll look at Swampers again.
What a weekend.
Somebody give me $4,500 for Dollar....I found a 404 Mog for $5k.
Women dig dents and flat paint!
