What did you come down on to crack the rim and puncture the tire? Is the sidewall shot? Leaking air? If not use it as a second spare. It was on trail J where Cris took the picture of his 3 wheel shot where he said "This is a GREEN trail?" I took the group a little further up and went down J-2 which is a downhill trail. When I was going into it, I was on the huge rock and I slid off. I heard a loud thud and I didn't think anything of it. Later that night, Brook pointed it out. I knew right then that the thud was the rock hitting the rim. The sidewall is fine, just a little scrape and the rim isn't leaking so I am just going to leave it. Every time I turn around, they are getting more expensive!!! They are $365 a piece now so I don't exactly feel like buying a new tire every time something happens. I have yet to hear of anybody blowing a sidewall with these tires. I just hope I am not the first to do so!

I owe it all to you people. Never in a million years would I have imagined that I would have spent this much on a vehicle in mods. Don't get me wrong, I love it but it is very easy to get out of hand! On this trip, I was given another idea. So here it is! They are wire tied for now. I am waiting to hear from my father's friend to weld some tabs onto the bumper. I kind of stole this from Stan, but I like them. Already, my parents yelled about it. My mother told me I was retarded and my father said "I wasn't his kid, and I should get curb feelers and fuzzy dice for my mirror" What a bunch of kidders... They will be removable for when I am not wheeling, but they will be on there just in spite now!
