Flat Tire!
Yesterday morning me and my boys took off in my Land Cruiser to do some fishing. The lake is way up right now and so our usual spot was too flooded to fish so we were driving over to another spot when…ka-BLAM…the rear tire blows out. We immediately pull into a subdivision and the giant 35” tire was completely flat. Rather than try and change it with the factory jack, I had my GF come get us and take us home where I loaded some tools in my 4Runner and went back and changed it. It only took about 15 minutes. I get the thing home and found out why the tire went flat…see below. The first one was me trying to pull out whatever punctured the tire and the second is my boy holding it when I finally got it out. A freaking disk brake pad!!! It was 7” long x 2.5” wide x .188" thick and completely destroyed the tire. My front tire must have kicked it up off the road and it went straight into my rear tire...
