Poked a hole in my new Duratrac! Right thru the rubber lug! (plugged FTW)

I've heard similar things about MTRs.

 

good reason to have E loads if wheeling very often.....

 

Don't sass me!

 

Rocks don't care if you have E rated are C rated tires lol

 

FYI -- PSU_Taco85 (Anthony) has already got his ARB dual compressor project underway.

Thanks for the recovery hardware tip. I'll probably follow your lead on the extra repair tools.

ARB kit is nice, but too expensive. Thanks for the tip on the TG kit.

x2 on practicing at home. Discount gave me my Duratrac that I repaired since they refused to rebalance it after I repaired it. I just need a wheel to mount it to and I can mess around with resetting the bead and what not.

A very fair question. I do things that a lot of people don't do, but I go prepared, been doing it for years. And for the record I would not wheel in Death Valley Proper in summer. I was in Saline Valley last year (summer time) and it's 3000 feet or so in elevation. When I camped for the night, camped at Hunter Mountain pass, was 75 degrees

I'm with ya. I'm all for plugging it on the axle. F, taking it off if you don't have to.

Thanks. and

Had to share this--the guy at Discount said a very similar comment to yours, said it doesn't matter if it's load range G!

 

Different run then. This guy lost his spare ont he trail (cable snapped) and he was last so no one saw it drop. When he shreded the sidewall he was by himself and with no spare. About 100 plugs later and stopping every 5 miles to air up he made it out of the desert and to a tire shop. If I can find the pics they are priceless. About 100 plugs in the sidewall gash and the best pics are after he got the tire off the wheel and all the plugs and junk were on the inside.
