2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Explosion shook entire truck

That's crazy! I've had nothing but bad luck with tires this year. Started out in my company Kenworth W900, I hit a mud flap hanger on I-25 and blew a steer tire. The tread came off and wrapped around the axle and stopped the rim dead in its tracks. Not fun at 75 mph. A month later while hauling a car from Leadville CO with my pickup and stuck in the wonderful traffic at the tunnels on I-70, I noticed an air leak with every rotation on the left rear. About 2 months later, after finding a "decent looking" used set on Craigslist and on my way to get them mounted I blew the left front tire. One week after that to the day I was hauling a Dodge Dakota from Lusk, WY, one of those "decent looking" used tires on the right rear came apart like it was re-tread. Now I have a couple of beat-to-hell rocker panels and an MIA wheel well liner.

What's the service ribbon in your signature? I've been retired from the Navy many years. Is that Desert Storm?

My eyes aren't that great any more but maybe Iraq??

Could be. My eyes are not as good as they once were either. I am not familiar with that ribbone but lots of things have happened in the armed forces since I retired.
