    IMG_1257.JPG IMG_1258.JPG IMG_1268.JPG IMG_1269.JPG She blew apart at 50 mph passenger side front.
    Lifted that side off the road then slamed back down sounded like a hand grenade went off.
    The bolts for the caliper bracket broke and the caliper slid down under the rim and cut it in half. Got stopped ok had to just sit in truck for awhile i was shaking so bad i couldn't move. I have had tires blow up before but not like that.

    Glad you had it under control, especially on a steer tire. Never seen that before, that's pretty scary stuff.

    It has been years since I had to mess with split rims, but always hated them scary things! But this.... You took split rims to a whole new level. :bug:

    Wow buddy, I'm glad you're ok! That could've ended very badly!!

    I was just wondering how you've been doing, I was going through pics on my phone the other day and have a good one of you by the traveling FHC sign at Dennis's GTG this past spring.

    Might have scared him but then, he might have really enjoyed it and thought, "Ride 'em cowboy!"

    Glad it turned out okay Randy.
