Replaced the rear cargo lights wit LEDs. Probably paid too much but am trying to support local Business, so I found them at the RV dealer down the street.

well had a good trip to and from mexico until I got to about I10 on I8. Developed a vibration, stopped checked the tires found nothing, stopped a 2d time and could still not find anything then about 10 miles later threw a gator as the tread separated and took out the l/s fender, brackets, airbag lines. So guess will have to find a good shop to repair.

Truck was running great 8-9 deg split at 80 mph on deltas, trans at 181 deg (115 indicated OAT). All gauges in the green. Only thing I can say is glad it happened today and not last week as we were going to and coming back from colorado springs. Today about 50 miles from the house. Oh well thats why we have insurance is it not?

I just threw on my original front tires. I started to to get a balance issue up front, the second time with BFG All Terrain on this truck. The first time I was waiting to get to my local Hunter Road Force Balance shop to get them checked when when a front separated. Didn't want to go through that again. These tires have not liked the front, heavy axle on this truck.

Jack I'm glad you mentioned the brand. I thought it was my truck (at 1st) but I replaced two sets of BFG AT ko's due to coming apart, tread separation from carcass. A buddy of mine had the exact same thing as posted above happen, but with the BFG Rugged Trails -- he was fully loaded with his 5'er and it was passenger rear -- took out everything around fender/bed on that side. Insurance fixed it. He was heading out on another trip and got 60 miles from home and IT HAPPENED AGAIN! Same brand/tire...

He and I both switched all 4 to Coopers and I have to say these tires are way smooth. My friend has about 5K heavy towing miles on his...

The experience cost BFG more (like it would hurt them/Michelin ) As it came down to a couple tire choices for my sports car and I went Bridgestone. I think it'll be a while before I try anything BFG again, and I loved those guys -- we were full boat sponsored by them in the '90s when we raced...

Do you think he'll check any fluids for water? Nah... He wouldn't be in that deep if he had that genetic disposition...

Anchor with tires on it. But why put the anchor in front of the boat?
