I had been driving the GMC for work until the temps were hitting 104 every day.... had a blow out on one of my 13 year old tires!! yesterday I picked up a set of steelies with four new tires for a lot less than two new rear tires for my alloys..... these are just temporary......

That blown tire is ugly!! Did you get it stopped right away or have to drive it a ways on the rim? I take it no other damage (sheet metal, sign posts, pedestrians... )

. Sound like you were lucky.

I got it pulled over right away, not even a ding on the wheel...... what sucked was not having a spare

looks like you have 4 spares now...

I really like how your truck looks now mate, they work well with the stock look...maybe some center caps would dress em up a bit.

Thanks eightbanger! Maybe some baby moons...... how'd you end up with an awesome truck like yours all the way over there??

Baby moons are cool, but I always think they give a 50's look and don't sit to well on later Trucks...unless the truck has had a Rat Rod makeover, then it works better. IMHO.
It's a long story but I shipped my baby over from the U.S Dec 07, then found this place and you guys Jan 08....so I got a great Truck and a great bunch of mates to boot.
A bit slushy that last bit.
