I am not sure who's comment I accidentally removed so sorry to whom it was. Slip of the mouse. Maybe you can post it again if you don't see your comment here.

I blew out the exact same tire on my pup last friday!! And dont sweat it...you'll have plenty more blow outs....lol ... all part of the job my friend!!

@Newfieguy89 Oh Todd I am sure there will be many more. It's funny when it happened I was wondering what the hell was it. Then I saw the dust cloud in the mirror and felt the rough ride and clued into what it was. It happened just before an intersection on the highway so there was a great pull out with lots of room to stop. All went well and even sitting on the side of the road I was still on the clock so had the sat radio on listen to tunes. Stuff happens.

i had the same thing happen on the trailer with the 410 on it a few weeks ago. my first blow out too

@hammerdwn20 It turned out well. I thought the repair went fairly quick considering it was a Friday afternoon. Now I know what a blowout sounds like.

At least it was a rear tire and not a steer tire.

@WesternStar4900SA I know this guy's company, being on the down-low is necessary for him.

[gangesexcavating]

tough one. Probably smart keeping the company on the down-low. I pass you on the highway often, recognize you from your YT channel! Passed you on the Malahat the other day. Keep it real

@WesternStar4900SA Fixed within 2.5 hours and on the way. Made it to the dump site and back home. The young guy that came to fix the tire seemed okay with having the service call as by the time he was done and back to the shop his friday was over. I guess it worked out okay for someone LOL.
