Unfortunatly he only had the rubber (?) lines so they weren't very strong. I'm thinking he sliced it when taking on the river bottom. I also went through a street rated tire 4 wheeling (think I'd had the Dodge all of 3 days before I took it pinstriping..Paint job? What the heck is that). Punched a hole straight through the tread. That taught me to slow down a bit on the roads...lol.
As for my brother's Jeep he too has a lift and some nice tires he did the lift himself and insists on "renovating" that thing at least every week. Hey Dan wanna go 4 wheeling..can't the Jeep's in 700 parts in the front yard...etc etc.
Although he did show me up with his nice Halogen round lights...drool..light envy. That lit up all of Fountain Hills the last time we went out. Meanwhile the Dodge...well let's just put it this way. Hubby has an offroad bike. Head lamp went out. Ziptied (again we love those things) my Mag light to the crossbeam so he could see where he was going. That thing throws better than my headlamps. Must get a K-C bar!!!
Sad sad sad!
