first time in 8yrs ive had to put the spare tyre on, got a big nail through the tyre
i had to pump it up with my buggered air compressor, blow 10 fuses just to fill my air tank, so i could get homw as the spare lives in the back shed
kind of a good thing though as the rear U-bolts where loose (jeep doesnt sway and move around as much now). the tyre sits about 3mm off the spring, and rubs on the odd occasion, but you get that having a 12.5" tyre on a stock rim.

Put her out on the road outside my house with a "For sale" sign on it.

Oh, and somewhat related, i met JimmyB yesterday on a charity motorbike ride for our kindy, with 56 other motorbikes.

Default Fun things

First up it was out with the dash and in with a new AC evaperator (looks like a radiator to me). Then after looking for a sad bearing on the front of the engine I had to put a new Harmonic Balancer the old one had the outer ring walking off, thats a new one for me.
Cheers Tezza

You are lucky.
I get a puncture every couple of months, especially as the tyres get down a bit.
got myself a cheap aldi puncture repair kit. have used it 3 X so far. The last 2 I didnt take the wheel off.
