There was another member on a few days ago....new guy who had just bought some ClearView's and was giving away his OE Lariat mirrors for just the shipping.....

Members' name was Frost....posted in the towing section, Clear view Mirrors post 168...

Washed it ?

The mirror needs to be shaped like an arrowhead so the birds can be impaled instead of hitting the mirror like a sack of concrete.

Hit a driveshaft lying on the freeway going about 65mph. Shredded both stock Grabbers.

Front tire

Rear tire

The driveshaft in question...

I saw the thing in a split second and swerved to avoid it, but both left tires hit just the yoke end and POW!

The shaft fell out of the cement truck parked on the left, that about a minute before I hit the shaft, obviously coasted to the spot where I pulled over.

I am lucky there is no apparent damage to my truck other than the tires. It's at a dealership now getting inspected and new tires.

Also, there were at least 5 other vehicles that got flat tires from it (green arrows). I didn't have a chance to get pics of them all.

Luckily no one was hurt or worse....

Oh boy, now you get to go tire shopping.

Looks like a concrete company is buying

Tire shopping ? hopefully that’s the only thing that got ruined.

Yep. Hell, they're buying everybody tires!

Now I have to run that to ground. At least there's a police report.

 

[5thranger]

You are lucky it was laying on road and not cartwheeling down the road.

No shit, check your wheels

Sorry OP. But man that could have been so much worse.

Pisses me off with the concrete company. Clearly their maintenance program leaves a bit to be desired. They’d better reimburse you with a smile on their face.

And a free load of concrete for a driveway, sidewalk or patio - for just good faith
