The first one blew in Spartanburg so we stopped at Northern to pick up a second spare with intentions of returning it when we got home. The second one blew about 3 miles from camp. Ryan blew a tire on his toyota truck on the trails so he had to go to town to get a 31" tire so Keith went and picked up 2 more trailer tires. We mounted those on the rims back at camp and the third one blew on 485 in Charlotte at about 80 mph - not a good feeling.
We didn't fish any - but the water was perfect for swimming!
The new motor did ok - I'll let keith explain more. Howell likes the motor to run hot so it leans out. I think the heat caused an issue with the brake lines that run down and beside the headers since the brake calipers seemed sticky and did not want to compress when the motor was hot. We at least got to wheel friday afternoon and most of the day saturday.
Pics coming soon :popc1:
Sound like luck was not on yall side. :banghead: Thanks for sharing the pictures.
