Tundras live: Dumb Dad Jokes, Incorrect Opinions, Relationship Advice, and Parking Etiquette

I had the same issue w/my first gen... couldn't stand the access cab, suicide door, gotta open the front before you can open the back b.s. functionality

Other than that it was super comfortable, almost effortless driving and obviously reliable

 

Depends on the angle of entry.... it appears to have angled toward the sidewall, so if you've got abrasions/scraping on the inner side wall from the tip of the screw and appear to have compromised the sidewall integrity, then I'd say replace it; if on the other hand, the puncture is clean on the inside I'd be okay w/it

 

If the inside of the sidewall is clean and you decide to repair, just use what is called a 'performance tire' patch, which is designed for speed rated tires and per industry standards (at least a long time ago) would allow the tire to maintain its speed/performance rating...

They basically look like a combo plug/patch, so you have redundancy in the repair by having a plug through the hole and a properly installed patch on the inside, if that makes sense...

First image I could find to give you an idea...

 

Not nearly enough.
Expanding foam the entire inside of the tire cavity, and then half a tube of silicone over the top just to be sure. (The duct tape won't hurt though.)
Saw it on TikTok so it must be the right way.

Seriously, I'd be fine plugging that (done correctly) and wouldn't lose a minute of sleep over it.

 

You know what else is a dry heat? Fire!

 

Roses are red.
Violets are red.
Trees are red.
Grass is red.
Oh shit, my yard's on fire!

 

That would be sweet, but I'd have to have someone unmount and mount (twss) the tire knowing I'm patching a questionable puncture...

 

Too soon?

 

I thought you guys weren't allowed to build fires up there

...or are you just talking about unintentional ones??

 

Good Lord

Just take it down to your nearest tire shop, and ask them to repair it...

If they say no, then ask them to just remove the tire from the wheel for you; then take it home and fix it; then take it to a different tire shop and tell them you're putting a full size spare on a wheel you got off FBMP, and have them mount and balance it up....

 

That whole rainbow dial thing around the temp display is quite distracting...

much like trolling this thread and coming across a pic of you standing there in your Sean Johns w/full side nipple in view

 

For y'alls entertainment, I leave this here....

I did send an email to wunderground.com to see if they will take their rainbow dial down because my buddy thought it was offensive.

they sent me back a link to this.

I'll just run a bigger screw in there and call it good

 

I said 'distracting' not 'offensive'...

 

Dammit.

Now it makes sense why they responded so sarcastically.

For those of you who like to read. Not bad for an article from our local rag.

 

Here as well. But not much.

 

did someone need "tire damage on a Tesla" advice?

I'm your man.




That's a full replacement.

No.



it's 32 here Houston...and feels like death is right out side my door.

 

point of interest:

apparently, when you reach about ~250lbs...the pneumatic thing in your office chair looses it's pneumatic-ness.


or so I hear.

 

9°F. Feels like 3°F.

That’s brutal for TN.

I got up and let the farthest faucet from my water heater drip.

 

That can't happen with my Frontier. First obstacle, the front windows are laminated. 2nd obstacle, even though the engine is running, since the fob is not inside the cab, as soon as you shift out of park, the engine cuts off. Yota could do this.

 

I almost tagged you in the post.

 

My 17 with an aftermarket remote start does this if the key isn't in the ignition and I step on the brake pedal. The 18 Grand Cherokee I had did the same with the fob.
