Alright, here it goes......
I got the SAS done this past weekend. My buddy gets the idea that we should test the flex of the new frontend and lift. I agree. He suggests the loading ramp at the local Bi-Mart. we go there and I drive the right front up the ramp. My buddy spots me. He tells me enthusiastically that I made it all the way to the top of the ramp with the RF tire. He's like dude, you gotta see this. I agree, so I put her in park and let go of the wheel. The wheel hauls ass to the left and the whole truck slides off the ramp. This ordinarily wouldn't be bad except that there was a trash sack under the tire when it fell. In this trash sack was, apparently, a upright snapple bottle. When the truck fell on said bottle, it of course shattered and sent a shard into my brand new tire. The hole was sufficient to flatten my tire in about 5 seconds. I can actually pull the tire open and see where the cords are cut in it. Not even 20 miles on the tires and never been off road and one is ruined. That sucked. :evil: Then, I didn't have a spare or jack in there yet so I had to walk to my house to get them. :flipoff:

I called the next day and added the road hazard warranty because I am a cheating bastard. I figure I will wat a week and then make my claim.

Cheaters never prosper, but they don't always lose either. :finger:

That sucks, I hope for your sake, that the guy who gets your road hazard claim isn't read this forum.
