Rollin down the street and WTF....

[StormShadow]

Well on my way home from work I was headed to 1382 to take a shortcut from Grand Prairie and at the last minute hit Camp Wisdom and decided to take 360 to 287. So I'm rollin down 287 and I see this

Anyone care to guess who this is and what they are doing? (Hint: that is a Talon sticker on the left window)

[Chris94L]

Dunno who it is, but it look like they be takin a piss. You be sure to lay on the horn in passing?

[FRDRCING]

Just saw the pictures, Damn he blew that tire good. Hope Tifton has road hasard on those.

[Chris94L]

Changing a tire was my next guess ;)

[StormShadow]

Yes it was Tifton with a blowout. He was on his way to Huntsville and didn't have a jack or a spare. I went home and got my gear and we slapped my spare on his truck and away he went. Damn good thing he had that Talon sticker on the back of his truck or I might not have noticed him.

JACKASSES won't even move over and let a brother change his tire. These fools were rushing past us at less than comfortable distances. I also layed down in a fireant bed while getting my tire out from under my truck and had to take off my shirt that was covered in ants.

One more reason to have a Talon sticker- dang Tiffo with all that power on tap a little spare and jack is not going to hurt you:hammer:

I think Brook blew one just like that last year on the way to TFC maybe? Good looking out for a brother:tu: .

yup, luckily I was following behind Brook and had my jack and four way so we didnt have to mess with the stock jack

[GoldLS1]

What tires were (are) you runnin??

I had that same problem when I first bought my L. My POS F1s left me on the side of the road + not having the spare tire key lock. Sidewall blewout going around 80 after an hr of driving. I have pics somewhere.

[StormShadow]

Same thing happened to me on the way to TMS and Jeffro hooked a brother up. It was my time to return the favor. :tu:

[L8 APEX]

I am glad my F1's never blew I rolled them hoes hard for the 9K miles that they lasted until done:rolleyes: .

[Lyfisin]

Yep, that was a really quick change.

I again :bows to you from here. That's a much easier way to do it.

Nice job Adam. Hint to those that are ever changing a tire. NEVER sit with your legs under the truck. A few years back I was doing this out at Ennis. I dropped a lug nut and it rolled just out of my reach. I moved my legs to get to the lug nut. Just at that moment the jack(one just like Tifton is using)slipped out from under the frame. My truck crash straight down on the pavement. Had my legs been under it, I would have been seriously hurt and possibly had my legs squashed.

Rocks:nono:

[L-Fever]

Good Show Adam! :tu: Tif, did you have any wheel damage?

[gbgary]

damn lucky you came by...perfect timing. :tu:

[03LightningRocks]

This guy used to sit with his legs under the truck while changing his tire. Now...look at him!

U'r right Rocks, when I was little a friend of my uncle lost his legs with them under a car like that in Alabama. my uncle seen me doing it when I was a young pup comin' up and learning and he chewed my a$$ for a while for doing that,I never did it since.As for having a flat, I learned last year when I had a flat on the way home to double check to make sure all things work. I had a 4-way lug wrench but with custom wheels the wall of the lug wrench was to thick to fit in order to break lugs loose so I had to ride on a flat tire for over 8 miles and then pay a tire place $55 to change it plus buy a new $208 G'year HP 295/40/20 tire. I went to Sears got a thin wall socket & breaker bar just for my truck along with a floor jack .

Word. :ron: When I was changing my slicks out for the streets at the autocross earlier this year, my jack fell sidways and dropped the truck--thankfully, I had the tires already on, so the only damage I had was the flange on the frame that bent that caused the jack to slide sidways to begin with. :( /:ron:

[04SVTRACING]

Well Tifton your lucky Adam came along. Sorry about the tire though. Hopefully the other one I sold you wont do the same.

Since those Talon stickers seem to come in handy, how do new memebers go about getting one?
