Devil's Backbone you say?

I saw this Cruisers broken down on the side of the highway. I put it in reverse and went to offer assistance. I was a little surprised. I looked at the tire that had blown out. He exclaimed how these are the most expensive tires that anyone can buy. I only buy the best. I can’t believe that it blew out on me. He had at least a 2 inch lift and was going at it with a bottle jack. I let him know that it won’t work if you don’t have an extender for it. He had no interest in listening to me, so I departed.

BFG K03

PS, if you’re on Mud!, hopefully you find this. Just because you buy expensive tires, lift, and everything else, doesn’t mean that you won’t have problems. And, by no means are those the most expensive tires you can buy. YMMV IMHO

Did he at least offer you a LaCroix for stopping?

 

[Feldrian]

Expensive stuff doesn't break?! I clearly need to spend a lot more money.

Please stop...the rest of us are already trying to flog our poor wallets to catch up to you

that’s some fancy footwear there, prudence the safety goat would be proud.

Looks like we just picked up that bottle jack, as the box looks like pretty new, and I think he’s got er a bit too close to the curb to be effective At maneuvering that fresh 315 into place let alone getting the buggered ones wheel flange past the drive flange on the rear axle.

Money can buy you just about everything except common sense and hard fought experience ( which seem to go hand in hand)

Is this anyone on here? Hwy 90 in Florida panhandle last weekend. Based on the mirrors poking out it was absolutely not what I was expecting when I came around to pass.

That's a sweet setup.

 

[Roastchestnuts]

This is a shame it was a negative interaction. I would have probably talked to much about the cool things about the fj80..

What? Factory bottle jack will work fine. The amount of lift has no effect on the height of the axle from the ground.

 

[Wrencher93]

No but dem tires will. Granted, you can still probably get it high enough to swap a tire.

Road queens get the Michelin Defenders. No doubt. Breaking expensive stuff is why you buy expensive stuff…

I've always been partial to Toyo's

You get it plenty high enough. You can easily change 35s with the factory jack.

Ya, scratched my head on this one for a sec. Stock bottle jack, 3" lift and 35"s never was an issue to change a tire.

 

[se7enine]

That's still a lotta pumps to make.

Perhaps if he was parked differently it may have worked. Or, perhaps I’m just wrong. I had a highlift jack that would have made short work out of it though.

I’ve never relied on the bottle jack. I’d feel better if I had the extension pieces for them.
