Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) totaled my 98

Blew a steer tire on my driftwood 98 and smacked a guard rail doing 70 mph some pics

Here is where my triangle tool box exited the front of the bed it landed 200 feet in front of the truck

Sorry to see your truck tore up like that.My little Furd Ranger I used have as a daily driver got hammered wile parked right in front of my apt. building.It had 360,000k plus miles on it and well cared for and I really wanted to see just how far it would go but it was not to be. I'm in California but I'm always scanning the free auto/truck ads and the advantage in Cali. is little or no rust. It's a nightmare trying to fix a rusty but otherwise good truck. Let me know if you want and I'll send you links to ads or simply post them here. Say the word. Hope they pay somewhere close to what your truck is worth. Good luck chief.

Not much tread on that tire!!!????

 

[SAndreasen]

No there wasn't much tread but it had over a 1/4 inch the 3 bald ones were still holding on at first I thought it was one of them that had let go but it wasn't I learned a valuable lesson that day and that's not to trust used tires I was just getting ready to order a new set when this happened . Insurance totaled it and Gave me 4000 more than I paid for it so I bought a different truck

It happens quick esp on a steer tire. I've made it habit to check my tires periodically especially when going on a road trip.
Glad your ok
