You know what those trucks needed?

Snow tires

I figured when the one guys truck started hopping, one of those hops was going to trigger an explosion. I just didn't figure it was going to be an explosion of the other truck. I guess, it's just like anything else, the weekest link. Since they had that tight rope stretched between them to transmit the forces, that essentially made them one system. I figured it was bad when the one fellas truck started to bow.

That limited slip diff just couldn't handle that much wheelspin. Once the pegleg burnout phase began, it was only a matter of time.

Good one ! I can hear it now. " Cripes. I dont know what happened. I was on my way to church and I heard a noise and all of a sudden a bunch of smoking hot parts fell out the bottom of the car. Maybe it had something to do with those bad front tires."
