runflats on the trail

[greg slade]

Here is a pic of me testing out a new kind of runflat tire loosely based on the "tweel".

 

[upnover]

When/where was this Greg?

 

[jeepinmatt]

HAHAHHAHAHA! That is awesome. When is production scheduled to start? What OEM's are looking into it?

 

[Rich]

Hey, could you make the pic a little smaller??

WTF happened?

 

[greg slade]

I was playing around at the Muddevils new place and the rest is obvious. the real story was the extraction.

 

[Rich]

Did you get your tire caught in the hole on the "49's" obstacle?

That's naaasty.

 

[greg slade]

yup, time for rocks too

 

[BIGWOODY]

It went something like this..."ahhhh you fell in the hole...CRACK!...ohhhhh looks like a rear shaft broke, uhhhh???? why is the jeep moving forward and the wheel/disc etc.. not?" Sorry it happened, that spot has claimed a lot of parts.

 

[Yay!Gurrr]

have tree will travel......

 

[amcjeepman]

Dang that hurts.

 

[farmboy]

That was one nasty break for sure. I think i would have just given up and made it parts of the obstacle if it was mine

 

[greg slade]

Just when you think you are done with the rig......

I Need one more steering u-joint rockwell and I am back on jackstands. I think im going to repair it for now so I dont miss too much wheeling this summer.

 

[madmonk]

I thought we were going to have to send in the helo to air lift him out. Thats one of those places that you go" damn I hope I don't break up here". That was a nasty break fo sho. At least your nutz weren't damaged.

 

[91oneton]

damn that sucks .... what kind of tow bill did george give you

 

[greg slade]

EVERYBODY had to help with getting it uhhhh... down. Thanx George and Austin, I appreciate your help getting it back to and on the trailer. Thanx again to all the muddevils for helping me get-er-down and lettin me abuse my junk on their proving grounds.

on me next time for sure.

 

[Joel]

lol This is a secret many a Dana 35 owner knows of. Nice pics Greg.

 

[JThomas]

You know, we should start filling that hole with broken parts that it claims.
That 42 iroc in the hole would have helped considerably.
I may of made it then.

 

[Trebissky]

A truck with a peg leg. What'll they think of next?

 

[BigJUGGY]

uhhh ohhh

No room on the buggy to carry a spare??

 

[BIGWOODY]

No room on the buggy to carry a spare??

He would have needed a spare complete rear axle.

 

[ghost]

WOW!

 

[Cperry]

Obviously you lug nuts were loose, put the rotor back on and your ship shape.

 

[Caver Dave]

He would have needed a spare complete rear axle.

Boogered more than just the snapped flange? Definite suckage...

I bet the extraction *WAS* spectacular! (uh, that's a cue for PICS! )

 

[Rich]

He would have needed a spare complete rear axle.

jrraw23 was gonna carry one for the XJ, why not Greg?

 

[farmboy]

I bet the extraction *WAS* spectacular! (uh, that's a cue for PICS! )

Going to have to wait a few months...
