Re: anyone have something fall off their truck while driving?

1)When I first got my K/20 Highlander I had lumpy Swampers and clapped out suspension,as well as hadn`t gone over much,yet.I was toolin` down I-70 pretty good in the fast lane and I heard a "CLANK" and my rear wheel ran over something.I couldn`t see anything in my vibrating mirrors.When I got to where I was going I looked and my suspicions were confirmed.The left bumper gaurd fell off.I saw it the next day on the shoulder and just laughed.

2)Then,still before touching the suspension,I was going down Main St. in Mt.Airy,rolled over a low manhole cover and heard,"Clank twanky lank".I stopped and ran back with two old ladies on a porch looking on.It was 1/2 a leaf from my rear springs.Threw it in the bed and rolled on.I`m glad that one wasn`t on the hiway.Pretty lucky about the bumper gaurd,too.But,I was the one who mashed it and sent it over to the shoulder.

3)I had a truck hauled from San Diego back east on a flatbed.It was freshly painted and the seller put a new bedliner in rather than touch the inside of the bed.Somewhere in Oklahoma the bedliner parted ways.

I think that`s all.
