I would love an exo
Cops might not

I think im going to get some rock rings

This was about 50m down a rather wild dry creek at 11:15 pm
Rocks are bloody huge and the jeep got dragged across lots of it
Doesnt look like its been driven before or atleast in a long time


A log ripped it out
Luckily I had this one floating around in my change
No other tools with me or a spare


Turned around with about 9000 point turn and left
Will do the full run during day light.

You have some balls man ha ha!

I too enjoy seeing the antics you get up to. Would love to see some video of that crossing when you do it!

Hey Ritchard,
Using the jack like that to break a bead is not good if the tyre has steel belts. Down the track 12 months the steel will fail & so the tyre. We used to drive over tyres to break beads as well back in the days before steel belts.

Was on my own
Cant drive with only 3 wheels on the car
No tools
Tyres probably wont last 12 months anyway
No point crying

I do what needs to be done.

I`ll remind you a year from now to go & replace that tyre...

Just curious, whatelse to do is his situation of no spare and limited tools?

Agree with Wooders, do what you have to with what you have on hand to get home. If a tyre is the casualty then so be it & perhaps a lesson learnt to always carry a spare
