My driver side tire sliped off a ditch's covert while back up, so had only the driver front tire in the ditch, the front passenger tire was still on the drive way while the rear passenger tire was 2 feet off the ground. I thought it was some pretty cool accidental flexing.

I luckily fell slowly so I had to to prepare myself lol. When I got out to check that everything was still fine, all I had to do is pull the door handle, gravity did the rest. The bottom of the door was touching the ground...

Easy fix? All mine did was damage the fender some, and screwed up my rotor. Had to replace the lugs as well since they were why the wheel fell off. Im thankful i was turning because i was going slow. I had just come off the highway doing 60. Couldve been much much worse.

Oh sh*t, I meant like my wheel slide off into the ditch, but your whole wheel came off? You got lucky!

Haha my bad! I misunderstood. Yeah right off. I had to climb down into a ditch in flipflops to pull my tire out. New wheels and new tires a few days before. Punched a hole right in the wheel. No damage to the tire thankfully haha.

I picked mine up from the shop, my lifters are starting to go, so I have that tappet sound coming from the top of the motor... Shop says I got maybe 40k left on it... It's got 101k original on the truck, and I've been running synthetic Mobil 1 since I got it @ 69k. Any members out there in the IE that know how to rebuild these engine heads? Or build engines in general?
