Just giving a shout out to see if there is anyone between Sacramento and Bakersfield that may have a spare tire he could use!?
Tire size is; 205 75 r15 with a 5 on 5 lug pattern!
He's had two blow out so far and all the tire stores are closed. If you have something that may help him out give him a call @ 503-380-3568.

Thanks in advance, he is trying to get his family down safe.

And that's why I have a 5x5.5 bolt pattern on my trailer.

I was on the phone with him when it blew. Sucks man. Hopefully somebody can help out. I think he has the whole brood with him too.

I'll e-mail out to the Bronco@Yahoo group to see if anyone's got anything.
Where exactly is he now?

Last I heard he had 4 good tires, no spare and was leaving Stockton last night around 10pm, and Crawln68 had a spare availble for him near Fresno.

Which way is he heading? What's his itinerary.
I would think he'd be able to find a spare or two in the Central Valley somewhere.

If not though, I just found one in Mt. View. Not close, but, depending on where he's going to be today, maybe we can get him hooked up. Maybe.

Would you believe that the fridge full of Zima was the first thing he moved to Bakersfield!?

Hey guys, thanks for the legwork. We got in at 3am this morning :p
Yeah lost a trailer tire in Medford, didnt have a spare but was able to drop the trailer and head over to Schwab's and get it replaced, also picked up a spare that ended up being the wrong bolt pattern :mad: . Got it mounted up and hit the road. Stopped in Redding and got the wheel swapped out for the right one (spare) and about 20 miles later blew one out while talking to Mr. Evil. Got it swapped and headed away. Thats when I put the call out to Shawn to post up for some potential help, thanks bro! Got a call from Pat (crawlin68) with a connection if I needed it...thanks!!! What a long freakin day but we are here. I swear I was Red from Sanford and Son coming down with my jalopy loaded full, had a lawn mower strapped to the back with a cutoff saw, kids toys, bikes piled high and stuff stuffed everywhere including the entire Bronco stuffed full and then contained with my trail cover. I got some pics, man what a sight. I dont know how much I was carrying but I am pretty sure it was more than I should, probably leading to the blown tires. The Yukon was pretty slammed also but drove well. Glad I put that brake controller on finally, the hills would not have been fun. I'll get some pics posted soon. Thanks again for the APB!
