35" BFG AT stay on the rim at 700+rwhp, so I don't know how much power you are talking. My guess is either underinflated, or they got to hot from spinning and blew out.

are you running 16.5's on your truck kta?

i just found out that the reason they have done away with the 16.5 rim is that they do not incorporate any kind of safty lock on the bead portion

all the newer style and even the old 15" rims do

still, i was impressed that josh could spin both tires right off the rim in high gear

Yes they are 35x12.5x16.5 BFG AT's.

i have those same tires on my truck and i love them

my tire guy got me four of them for 600 bucks but he was really pushing for me to chuck the wheels and start over. he is a buddy of mine, we go shooting togther etc, and he hates the 16.5 wheel. i had the fronts custom made years ago and really like em. but, when these bfg's finally wear out they are goin in the scrap bin

don

ps - when ya gonna get back to me about that pump?

this happened a while ago.

I had just left work and was in a big hurry to get home that evening. It was a hot day, somewhere in the low 90's and quite humid. So I pulled out onto the road in front of our store, its four lanes thru town. As I pull up to the 2nd stop light, the left lane is empty while the right lane has a number of cars. I, being in a hurry pull into the left lane even though I need to turn right up the road about a city block from the light. While I am sitting at the light, I reach down and turn the chip on high. (This happened while we still had our f-350.) I am reving the engine a little, getting ready to make sure I hit green before the car beside me. The car beside me.....oh darn there are two cute chicks in there.... I think they think I am being a showoff. You know I most certainly didnt mean too. So, the light hits green, me being thoughly embarressed by this time, gun the engine and roar down the street and look back just in time to see their laughing faces dissapear in the smoke. Oh no, their car windows were open.....I didnt mean to....sorry.... ..... After I got over the embarressment, I laughed all the way home.

I had a meeting at work a couple of weeks ago and after the meeting was over everyone went outside to leave. I saw a couple of the managers off by themselfs smoking so I wheel over to talk for a minute before going home. There both talking to me through the passenger window and I go to leave and just lay on the coal and completely cover both of them in a black cloud. The next day at work they came up to me and said that half the crew was cheering and laughing. They were both good sports and said my turn was coming. I don't think I ever laughed so hard.

I have a pretty good one. After going to the GTG the DTR fella`s had in PA this past Aug I decided the time was right to max out the pump on my truck (you guy`s are a BAD influence, ha ha). Anyhow, I was hanging out with some co-workers afters hours a week ago Sat. We all start to leave and this guy with an 03 3500 GMC dually (gasser...yuck but a nice ride anyways) decides to lite em up. He does a pretty good brake stand considering theres alot rubber back there. NOT to be outdone I start spoolin up the old gal, two things happened:
1- the smoke level was like nothing I have ever seen come from my rig, and
2- I realized I was too close to another co-workers truck to be safe (he was parked on my RIGHT side).
So i back out of it, only to realize the golden oportunity at my disposal. I got in and out of the skinny all the while inching my ride along, I never did break the rear tires loose...COMPLETELY turned the entire side of this dudes truck (a WHITE 03 Hemi/Dodge) black, interior,exterior...all of it. I met up with GMC dude a bit down the road and he was laffing so hard he couldnt drive. Hemi guy hits my cell and proceeds to give a bit of a "talking to" HA HA! He was so ticked he could`nt get the words out. Did I mention Hemi guy is a TOTAL clean and shiny freak? I never knew what "Prince of Darkness" REALLLLY meant...oh I HAVE seen the light (or lack thereof).

I missed third and hit fifth while a friend was trying to blow by me in his car. I kept even with him and the smoke piling out on his side of my truck was threating his open window when I ran out of street. He was watching the smoke show and said the motorhome behind us about disappeared. oops.

Moab has changed a lot since I was a kid and the tree huggers are really quite numerous and vocal.
I just figured out how to give them a real quandry.
I filled up on B100. Now the smoke smells like I left the fryer on too long.
Now I can lay down the smoke till the cars behind me disappear and the hippies won't know what to do.... Curse me for the smoke, or cheer that it is Bio.

Not really a big deal but got a 6.5 kill today

[cummins king]

i live in the country but not to far out from the city, and we get a ton of bikers. evry time i see a few of them side by side i pass them and i lay on the smoke .i've never seen people so upset as they emurage from the smoke. they expect us to give them a whole lane but they cant respect the rules of the road, and it gets scary when your doin 80km's and there doin 30kms on a hilly single lane road

I live in the only part of texas that has a bunch of trying to be lance armstrong. They close are roads and ride for about 20 miles at the speed of pain in my ass. I pull up next to them and say "b e a utiful morning" they respond with "too cold" totally set me up! I had to warm them up . I dumped a cloud so thick one stopped and got off the rest flipped me off.

I have also made a neighbor hood punk fall off his bike into a bush from fuel to eyes overload

[dodgetkboy78]

*I jst cure tailgating with my smoke......punch it about 40 in fifth and shell leave a good trail till about 70.
Had a guy follow me into Home Depot to gripe at me, because my truck was polluting the atmosphere. He hurt my feelings.

But the best one, I was racing a duramax up a couple mile long hill, I had more weight than him, and I was catching him. I coulda shifted earlier, but I went into fifth about 10 feet in front of his hood.
Poof! LOOK! A disseaperaing duramax!

Yesterday was Stinko de Mayo (may-oh). (This is America, I observe AMERICAN holidays; observe non-American holidays in your home country or at home). Had some obviously non-hsipanic kid in a chevy blazer with his big sombrero looking all smug and whatnot pull up along side of me. I went from 3rd to 5th at about 30mph, and left him in a cloud, or as big a cloud as my pile can make with my airflow enhancements, and stock sticks. I still saw him through the cloud, but it's more than that truck has smoked in a long time.

Most other times have been cases of "oops" like Matt's- in a hurry, and leave innocent victims. I warn people on the WalMart parking lot to get out of the way when I'm starting my pickup.
