JK versus angle iron
I had a pretty bad blowout on I-10 in Vidor, TX. My family is ok. I have a much better appreciation for the computer control systems (ESP,TCS,Antilock, etc...) than ever before.

That's freaking crazy, I was amazed to hear about the road hazard debis statistics last year and how deadly they are. You guys are blessed to have not locked up on that crazy hwy, it's really busy through there especially with all the new hwy construction. Glad you guys made it out ok.

When the angle iron came thru the wheel and tire, it hit the body of the JK and the pavement. It locked up for a split second. Then, the angle iron bent itself back into the tire. It sounds crazy, but inside the tire the angle iron is bent back over onto itself.
My insurance is going to cover the damage. (Shhwew!!) .

yeah no friggin joke, that's awesome LifeTime insurance is paying for it all. It sucks you gotta say "shewwww" I mean all of us (hopefully all of us) pay our insurance diligently just to have something like hurricane Ike come through and they crawfish on coverage...remember Allison and all the State Farm lawsuits??? yeah...

Well, since the JK will be in the shop, all I can bring to the Jan.17th social at Hooters is the wheel/tire. That figures, I finally get to meet some of you and I will not have myt JK with me.
