At Ray mine in Arizona, the drivers of the ore haulers say hitting a 1.5 ton pickup truck is like hitting a berm. You feel the hauler kind of slow down going over an object.

You ain't seen nothin' till you've seen the potholes around Western PA. I'll trade your little "bumps" in the road in Hawaii, or California for the "shock busters" we have around here any day.

Last year on I-79, a major highway, they towed 2 an hour away off that road alone. Those weren't just bent rims, most of these had their suspension ripped right out.

Western PA sux. No wonder Trucker Mag. rated us the worst roads in the country. But most of us can dodge 'em real good. It takes a trained eye to see a pothole filled with snow or water, and still miss it !!

BTW-I have 17's.

Update-

Well the repaired worked great for 2 days until I hit another pothole last night caravaning to IHOP after the SE meet at Longo!!

Broke the right front and bent the right rear. I was feeling pretty lame until that same pothole took out 6 other cars while we were waiting for roadside. One caused a pretty good 3-car crash. Here they come off the ramp flap, flap, flap, flap, flap. Luckily the SE crew was awesome and stayed to help out myself and others and lent me another spare so I could drive home!!

So, I'm looking for two new rims or possibly something different. If you have rims for sale or have any ideas shoot me a PM. I'm running 17's but I'm thinking maybe some 18's.

Thanks again to the SE crew, especially Don and Billie, Romeo, Sammy and Family, and everyone who helped out. SE rocks, big time!!!
