damn creek

on saturday on my way to meet N2 and the gang i picked up a roofing nail in my driver rear. had an old plug kit and did my thing. then swapped it for my spare. well Sunday i was able to run out to the creek with a neighbor. had a great, dusty time. but now my spare looks like this

my thumb shows how far it went in, plus it is sharp on the end


oh and i guess plug kits can get old?? or i didn't do it right as it's leaking air right now in the parking garage at work. So i got a few emails in to get some cast off stock tires from some pleople, may end up upgrading to some 17" stock tires

oh and all that crap is garage sale goodies. usually i'm fairly organized in the garage.

Holy crap!!! How did that manage to get there? Did you back into it?

no it was on my rear driver as a replacement for the nail tire. i ran the same trail 3 times prior with/out problems. we decided to run it once more before leaving. i must have hit the log with all the branches sticking out of it, with my front tire and rolled it so all the pointy branches were pointing up and out. when my back tire came it got skewered. i left it in for the drive home. when i got home i looked at the tip and saw it was pointed and a foot long. if i didn't have bad luck i wouldn't have any at all. we still had a good time, but wow the water was deep in spots. and is it just me or is MOFO hill getting easier.

Just you my friend... The trenched areas keep getting deeper (those TJ's struggling up it keep digging out the same spots). So the trenched areas are deeper, but you're getting used to it and have picked up on the best line to take up it

You drove home like that...?

yes i did. and people were laughing. we followed a bunch of jeeps out down 2920. and old town was having a car show to boot.

i just remember the hill giving me more problems and almost stalling the first few times. funny, it's not the hill that gets me it's the damn trees!! first a fender and bumper and now a tire.

i was about to say please dont say thats the plug you put in talk about one hell of a trail fix

Time for some tires with armored side-walls *grin* An excellent excuse to get some 35's, which are an excellent excuse to lift it up =)

!c

like you really needed an excuse. LOL
