๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ driving in the mountains, hit the edge of a sharp road edge. tire got shredded ๐ญ my poor girl.
I am so grateful there is still reception out here! Geico is coming to my rescue.
Henceforth immediately, I am putting a cordless power drill in my truck, so that next time I can get the Lugnuts off myself!!!! if I did not have cell service, I wouldโve been stranded 30 miles from town and who knows heโs living out here if I had to go knock on someoneโs door a mile away!!
feeling sad but lucky.
@Armchaircouch so glad you were able to cell. Add a can of wd40 or something that helps ease the release to the list? And a blanket my knees don't like a tire change anymore.
Hope you reward yourself tonight!
A blanket! and the WD-40 thank you those Re both great tips! I am so loading that in my underseat area. Because I didn get under the truck at first, not knowing how to release the spare tire and the gravel was horrific lol! Also, would have been helpful if I had ended up changing the tire, for sure ๐๐ผ @damselfly59
@Armchaircouch And if there's room, I can not recommend highly enough having a good trolley jack. Expensive, but it means changing a wheel takes a few minutes and *much* less effort.
hmmm looking into that, it sounds like it might have been the kind that the guy had who came to help me. ty! @stueytheround @damselfly59
