So my buddy and I were taking a trip to the dunes, and he had just gotten brand new tires on his truck two days before we left so we thought we were golden! (He has a 2007 F350 king ranch with that 6 blow engine with a fresh rebuild he had done himself) so we were on our way 3 hours into our 4 hour trip now this truck puts out about 550 ponies easy, we are pulling my enclosed cargo trailer with a side by side in it so the trailer and cargo weigh about 4500 lbs and we have a dirt bike in the bed of the truck. We are on a windy road and we came around a bend and there was a fallen over tree in the road ( we determined that with the speed limit and being unable to move the tree or chop it up for lack of a chain saw that we should just drive over it because if we didn’t keep
Moving a car coming around the bend would undoubtedly smoke us, and with and brand new trailer, side by side and truck that can pull a house off a foundation and still smoke a brand new 6.7 off the line) we decide to drive over the tree we though no problem it isn’t that big. As soon we drove over the tree it sounded like we were dragging a branch because we heard wshhhh sound. But the sound went away, but then the truck started pulling to the right, so I stuck my head out and told my buddy/best friend/god father of my children the right front tire is smoked. So we are on a windy road he pulls us off the side in the only spot come to find out for like 10 miles that we could have fit in with that sweet truck and trailer and were now faced with a blown tire no jack and on an unsafe part of a windy highway. In our planning for the trip the only thing we didn’t have was a jack and yes I know how bright it was if us to forget a jack but we could have jacked it anyway because we were on such an uneven surface and the axle was so close to ground. So we are racking our brains about forgetting a jack and trying to flag cars down with no luck they could have pulled over anyway there was no room, and to top it off no service. But I remembers I had this kit in my side by side l, so after locating the 1 inch gash in the side wall of his brand new tire we thought we were f******d but I pulled this kit out packed about 5 of those rubber strings and aired the tire and and we were out of there. These things held a truck and twirler grossing well over 12000lbs with 550 horses over 800 foot lbs on torque to the wheels for about 30 miles before they popped out and I just did the same thing again and drive for another 20 miles to our destination. So patching the side wall of a tire with a 1 inch gash on a truck well over 12000 pounds with the 6.0 engine with sct wire on a hot tune these suckers helt. Those things were in the tighter than my waist on my work pants and those buttons are screaming!!!! So if you any reservations about spending the $25 on this kit just buy it and pack those holes tight and if you think another one can fit STUFF it in there!!!! This thing is awesome! Get yourself a little air compressor too!
