My Day.....

A buddy of mine got a n '08 Jeep Rubicon so I decide we need to head to Brown's Camp to break in my new-to-me '96 Bronco......

Had a great time right up until I let my roommate drive my rig.......next thing I knew, he blew the right rear tire. And guess what dumb-*** went wheeling without a spare?? So we get the tire off and I decide to stay with my rig. Off they go......back to PDX at 5PM on a Sunday evening to get it fixed.

They return at 8PM without the tire (they patched the hole but another, larger hole appeared).....now I need a new tire. And now the left rear has gone flat as well.

So I'm thinking.....aside from no spare (lesson learned)......it was a success??

ive been up to browns camp a number of times. sounds like you learned many lessons on this trip. the key is not repeating them in the future and that includes having your friend drive your rig.

check out www.thoseguysoffroad.com great local club, i am a member there also under same name.
