Picked up the GF for a lunch date and she said the front passenger tire looked a little low. I ignored her because she was a woman, and what do they know about tires. Well, sure enough a couple hours later, it was flat. I'm talking flatter than I make it when I go offroading. Those suckers are really great tires. Virtually no air, and they support the truck like magic. Those BFG boys are smart cookies. Luckily I was at home when I noticed because I never carry my spare. Boy those nuts are on tight from the factory... Anyway, I guess the point is I thought those BFGs were invincible, but i guess not. Time to get a spare tire carrier...

"she was a woman"

The legal and politically correct term for your girlfriend is "Transgender". The San Francisco Gay Pride Parade is now "San Francisco Gay, Lesbian and Transgender Parade." It is important to cover everyone with equal billing.

NO, HE SAID " HARD TO GET OFF " Butthead.


Sounds like a personal problem


BTW a large cheater pipe helps to get the lug nuts off or a quick zap w/ the impact.

Pussy
You also said "boy" and "nuts" in the same sentence...who are you, Michael??? A little Freudian-slip maybe??

Just kidding....

Did you check the tire to see what might have caused it??? You never know when a "tree hugger" may put a screw in your tire.

Zing 11-26-2003 02:03 PM

...and you said a couple hours later "it was flat".

DRTYFN 11-26-2003 02:54 PM

In Neverland Michael jackson is rubba rubba rubbin' one out to the boy nuts thing. Sick pud.

I think this should make my "old" friend PhilD happy. I had the first nail in Hummer tire. My Hummer is no longer perfect!!!!

I checked the tires before leaving for ski resort on Thanksgiving Day, one RF tire had only 25 Ibs and I found a big nail. Looks like something that has been there for at least days or weeks. On our way out we stopped by a gas stations, all the machanics were off. Disappointed that usual hard working people would take off on a weekday, Thanksgiving or not. We went on our way and back, with that big nail, only lost 2-3 Ibs. Got it fixed today, $15.

Life is full of surprises, big ones and small ones. This was a tiny surprise.

A freudian slip is when you say one thing, and mean your mother!

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!!

I've also had a flat on my H2, but it was the dreaded mesquite thorn that got me.
Those mesquite thorns could just about go thru kevlar if you hit it the right way!

For those of you not familiar with mesquite thorns, come on over and go wheeling with me, and I'll show you how tough they are!

argonaut 12-03-2003 11:39 PM

transgender... ahahaha. Nope, not for me, nor am I the MJ type. I thought Hummer man was really Michael with all of his monkeys and all... As for me being a pussy, so what Those things are tight and took a lot of me jumping on the damn tool to loosen. screw you guys, I'm going home...

Drag 12-03-2003 11:46 PM
