For the first time in 20 years and almost 250,000 miles, I had to put on the spare tire. Lol, it happens.
Check out that rust. Maybe I should use it more.

If the bottom goes flat, turn it over.

After 6 to 8 years, whether they have full tread or not, dry rot sets in and they become unsafe.

I remember the recaps and sometimes they would let go of a chunk!

Dakota? I had a ‘92 with an extended cab and V8. I miss that truck. It moved like a scalded cat.

Yeah Wolf. 95, extended cab, 5.2 V8. Solid dependable truck. We’ve done a lot together.
