another reason to carry 2 spares, a patch kit, and a hydraulic jack. we came across these people stranded for almost 6 hours. their stock jack couldnt get their truck up high enough to get the tire off. we stopped and in about 10 minutes had them on the road again. changed one flat and patched another. for us, it was a simple job, just a few minutes. for them, a lifesaver. hours from civilization 2 flats and 1 spare. math doesnt work in their favor. they were very grateful and they were able to continue on their trip.
see, sometimes i can be a nice guy...... sometimes....
