Re: Alberta: Spring Time Slush Run
That would be a little shocking I would think. Perhaps a little dis belief. Did the tire pass you? I hope there wasn't too much consequential damage, I know when tires some off it can get a little messy.
I don't think I'm going to be able to make it this weekend but the following weekend looks a lot better. Need to change oil, paint a hood, install hood, wire lights, re mount bush bar and touch up the rock guard on the bush bar.

Ya it caught me by surprise, was just driving on whitemud doing 80 when the front just dropped...the wheel was actually rolling right beside me and I tried to side swipe it to knock it down, cause I knew what kind of damage it could do, but I missed it and it rolled no lie 3 blocks before it rolled up a hill and hit a tree. Luckily people around me saw the tire come off and they moved out of the way and let it roll by lol. Called AMA and no kidding they had me on a flatdeck within the hour, in rush hour traffic...guy even walked the 3 blocks to get my tire. Can't say enough good things about AMA's service. Part that passed me off was all the ignorant comments people yelled as they drove by cause I slowed there day down a little. As for damage no body damage but it slid on the knuckle so that was toast and being a fabtech part wasn't cheap and neither was the overnight freight charge of 300 bucks that took them 7 days to delivery but wasn't there fault grrrr...but ya cost over 2 grand when all was said and done...I got some pics on my phone I'll post later...from what people tell me they've never seen a wheel break off like it did...Napa replaced the hub cause it was under warranty , so that saved me some cash....wasn't a good experience lol.

Re: Alberta: Spring Time Slush Run
I wouldn't sweat it Gary, a lot of people are dinks when you break down, especially if you drive something nice.
Yeah that was weird this weekend, spring just kind of broke and fell out... hard to believe that was an aftermarket spring that was just a few years old. Nothing a little innovation with ratchet straps can't fix though, haha. Good run overall

Re: Alberta: Spring Time Slush Run
I have the premiere membership...can't remember what it cost me, it's under 200$ but you have to be a member for at least 3 years. This is the one that includes one tow of 360kms I think give or take. Last year I used up all my tows lol . They have done alot of extra for me also, we'll worth the money...even get a free car rental if needed.

Re: Alberta: Spring Time Slush Run
I'll have to look into it. I have a new ride I'm picking up in the next couple days as a daily driver so I don't have to worry as much about the Truck breaking and loosing my only means of transportation. But dut to that some fabrication tools have been put on the back burner till I can save up a bit more cash. But I found one of those elusive job things and start in a week and my retirement will be over for now.
