I don't know Josh, you may be able to get at least 200 miles on those flats

 

[Josh]

I probably could

"A box of nails" Gosh Josh! What were you thinking? No further comment necessary!!

 

[wsucougarx]

I think he was testing out "run flats" quite literally

 

[Josh]

Well, Im guessing it was a box of nails, as each tire has at least 4. One has 9. I dont think I can patch these tubes .

In case I didn't shout out already I will be there with my m35. might try to come down on friday night.
Finally got to fixing my trans problem and hope to get to my front main seal on the engine sometime this week or next.

Just for you mike, I use 2 cans of tire goo I had laying around, filled up the 2 outside duals, and drove it to work Even with nails they are still holding air. Tire shop cant squeeze me in until at least saturday.


8 miles down, 192 to go.

You know after reading that it reminded me of when I was a private at FT Stewart I was driving the Commander around in a HMMWV and I drove over a piece of concertina wire and it punctured the tire pretty good.

I looked around in a BS ammo can that I had some random items in. Inside I found a sheet metal screw and a jar of rubber cement/glue. So I put some glue on the hole and used my leatherman to thread the screw into the hole and applied some more glue over the screw.........I think I drove on that tire for another six months before the CDR noticed and me swap it out lol

*edit: This was in '92 so it was before the run-flats

 

[Josh]

Ive done something simular to that ABN. Quite amazing what you can use to fix a tire if you have too.

 

[srodocker]

i sooo cant wait..

 

[Josh]

I had a completely random idea just enter my head. Anyone have a 40x30ft white sheet and and projector. MV drive in movie theater. Like I said random. But man this wait is killing me.

Can't wait. This one should top last years by 10 fold.

Btw, I bought a new set of belts for my truck today just incase. Hopefully we will have no road side repairs this year. But if we do, even though we don't have a wrecker, we have the next best thing, Ed.

Deeeelux showers on site!

Ok everybody. Calm down. We are going to have plenty of opportunity to wash off all the road grime/exhaust fumes and the like.

Bring your own soap.

I'll rig a blue tarp in the trees to hide you when you need to use this....

I don't know Aaron, I'm really fond of baby wipes when I'm in the field

[Stalwart]

You guys are too much, you really should try to get out more.

We really should Stuart! In fact, I'm going to go watch Hammer fall a tree on his house. I'll bring a camera.

Well, they are when I'm done with them
