Well, we've had some things go bad too. The tires on the truck set us back a pretty penny. Kim just had them installed and said they look cool though. The wierd thing is they didn't come with white lettering! The other thing was the minor flooding we had in the garage. If it got worse I was going to get worried. But we're going, because this sort of thing is kick ass!!! I'm worried and stressed about the trip as I always am, but its worth it for such a fun time. I'm worried because the last time we used the trailer I lost all the lights because of the crappy road surface on I-80 in PA, and the staps holding the Cougar down were sawed right off!!! But, we got the wiring fixed and the burrs removed from the holes where the wiring passes through. And we had D-rings welded on so the straps don't rub. Plus, we made some cool ramps to get the SVT on and off easily.

And remember, if someone needs to be towed, I got the trailer. My SVT will have to come down and whoever's car needs the tow will have to carry my SVT on their back!!

i have the same one, every lug uses a special tool to take them off or put them on.
so unless they are willing to give him a full set of lugs then he is kinda stuck.





thats exactly what they said! and it broke upon torqing with a torque wrench, not impact..

If this is your biggest problem right now, consider yourself darn lucky. Dry your tears and go have fun you crazy packy .



Exactly what I was going to say.

We're going to do our best to make room for his wheels and he can just slap them on for the show.
We were already bringing our jack (actually two).
