This a first for me; a multicolored pair of forceps in the tire. And yes, they went all the way through.

What’s the strangest thing you’ve had in a tire?

A few years ago, one of the tires on my wife's car developed a slow leak. After investigating, I found what I though was a wire nail stuck in the tread. I couldn't get it pulled out to plug it, so I took it to a tire shop. They dismounted the tire and found about half of a wire clothes hanger INSIDE the tire. The other end of the hangar had eroded a spot on the inside of the tire, exposing the belts. Had to replace that one.

Got rear ended a few months ago....had the 8"drop hitch in. Not a scratch on the truck but bent the hitch and receiver hole was sloppy.
Got a new hitch, ball and Factory brand new receiver. Glad I had that hitch in to take one for the team!!!

I’m not sure about other states, but I found out a while back that it’s “illegal” to drive in Michigan with a hitch in the receiver without having something in tow. I’ve never seen it enforced and would happily pay the ticket if I got one after being hit from the rear.

Glad to hear things went well with your bump and replacement.

A million years ago when I was just starting out, I worked in a tire shop. A guy brought a 13 inch wheel and tire off his Vega to get repaired. It had a wrench thru the tire, yep, 9/16 1/2 open end comb wrench. He had changed oil, and backed over the wrench. The tire gods where all in line, and the 1/2 open end went into the tire...

We sold him a new tire... put that one in the waiting room as a display...

Does sound like he had the gods against him, he bought a Vega after all.

Worst for me was a 3-1/2” decking screw. How it missed doing any damage to the wheel is anyone’s guess.
Technically the “worst” would have been Christmas Eve morning and the front tires got filled with freshly paved asphalt, parts from the lead HMMWV and shrapnel from a 105mm pressure mine cobbled together by some dust ninja. Out of eleven of us, I was the only one who “walked” away from that event.

No worries... you were right both times... roosters are male chickens

That will ruin your day any damage to the wheel?

When I was 15 or 16 I worked for this guy roofing houses in a new subdivision and he kept coming up with excuses why he couldn’t pay me. Long story short I kept a XL box of 10d ring shank nails on the floorboard of my Typhoon and would chuck a handful out to feed his driveway each time I passed by. D*¢k move on my part, but I was young and dumb. My hope was he ended up spending more in tires than what owed me and would think twice about screwing anyone over. Karma is a Beæ¢h with one hell of a good GPS, she will find you no matter where you turn, so be nice to people.

The whole point of that ramble was that I’m glad I didn’t think about chucking rebar out the window. I dont remember where it came from, but I do have an 11lb piece of “Karma” that I keep tucked under the passenger seat.

I'm sorry to hear that man. I hope you know there are still people in this country that appreciate the sacrifices you and your friends have made over the years.

Worst one for me was a roofing screw on the second day I owned the truck...less than 70 miles on the odometer...

Back in the day, we used to go to this nice spot overlooking town to “smoke”. Some guy didn’t like that we would hang out up there and decided to throw an entire box of roofing tacks in the area we parked. Easily had 20-30 nails in all four tires.. had to replace all 4 Eagle RSAs in that 98 Avenger… I was not happy…$1600 bucks. I was 20 at the time. FYI this spot was owned by ***** Harrelson and he got arrested for planting some seeds there…

Not broken. Going to swap my fog lights for the ss3 max soon. But figured I didn't want these expensive lights hanging off by 12 year old plastic.

not sure if you are looking for amber or clear, but these clear fog's are pretty good I have had them on mine for over 3 years and they still work and look like new, nice and bright.
plug-n-play, price has fluctuated I paid $69, then they went up as high as $119, now they are only $49. they say they will not fit Denali models but they do fit.

Can anyone verify the p/n for the front lower control arm (w/ ball joint assembly)?

2011 Yukon Denali 6.2 (non-PPV)

I have:

front left lower - 45D2471

front right lower - 45D2472

but even on the ACDelco site the right side lower says for “Police Pkg”. The left says “w/ Police Pkg” and “w/out Police Package”.

My weird tire story was on my way to work one morning on my ‘15 Street Glide. I heard and felt a wtf moment, pulled over and found a threaded rod with one of those nutsert things used for wood on it, sticking out of my rear tire. Good thing it wasn’t the front which was a 26 with a ribbon for a tire.

Thank you for your service sir! I'm super glad you walked away from that, and hopefully the other guys were eventually ok.

I don't think you did anything wrong at all. 1st right thing was you had a Ty--I had a 92 teal Ty. 2nd thing was hopefully you made an honest guy out of that roofer! Roofing def isn't any easy job by no means. Ever get the money he owed you? I need to get some rebar like that. I have bats--aluminum and wood, brass knuckles, a small wooden baton, knives, and a short aluminum bat with with some nice rope on the end to wrap around your wrist as leverage. You can never be too prepared. I've only had to break out a piece of the arsenal once--but that's another story.

Thanks man. After some friends sent me recent new updates I was a bit skeptical if that were still the case.

Thank you for your service sir! I'm super glad you walked away from that, and hopefully the other guys were eventually ok.

Thank you as well. I walked away from that one with two separated shoulders, doctors said a force like that is only ever seen in high speed car accidents, which makes sense because I had both hands on the wheel.
Unfortunately none of the others made it back home. Of the three who made it through the initial engagement, one got hit laying down cover fire and we couldn’t stop the bleeding before making it back; the second sustained too much BF trauma and didn’t make it out of the hospital and the third had to tell the story to their parents, wives and children.
The injuries from my second deployment to Iraq and my first to Afg were much worse physically, but not as mentally haunting as Christmas Eve.

nice rope on the end to wrap around your wrist as leverage. You can never be too prepared. I've only had to break out a piece of the arsenal once--but that's another story.

I usually have my knucks close by and the drivers side holds my collapsible baton. It’s only been out twice. Once almost caught a set of tail lights on some punk kids Ford Rustang. The second one broke some drunk guys Ulna and fractured his Radius after he hit my buddies wife. I don’t condone violence by any means, but when walking away doesn’t work I will de-escalate a situation before things get out of hand.
