I need a drivers side door mirror for the red truck.
We were cruising down hwy 80 and the left rear tire on the trailer blew out.
Cruising along about 80 and the tire separated, blew the fender off the trailer, the mirror off the truck, courtesy lights and reverse lights off the trailer.
I hiked down the shoulder a mile to get the fender, it is pretty beat up but I think I can repair it.
Put the spare on and DROVE TO Cheyenne WO.. Bought the only tire of that size in town and found another tire had tread seperation.
Drove to Laramie WO. before that tire store closed and bought the only tire in that size they had.
Would have to have liked to get 4 tires but nobody had them, 205x75rx15 lr D.
Then was the white out blizzard for 50 miles with 50-60 mph winds.
We put 800 miles on the odometer today, stopped in Ogden, UT.
Weighed the rig at a Pilot an it came in at 17350 lbs.
With the winds today we got 8 mpg. wind never blew under 35 mph.
750 miles to Portland to go tomorrow.
happy Easter to all
