Hey guys,
My good friend BugManMike lost his 37" spare MTR tire on a black steel wheel on his way out. I am not sure which direction he was going, so I'll post up once I get confirmation (either lost it towards Loon or towards the Tahoe Staging Area). He was the tail gunner in his group and they went out non-stop, never looking back (you know how you get in that zone & you just wanna get off the trail) and never noticed his spare was gone until they were airing up.
Here is a pic of the spare he lost, the truck in front of mine:
These pics are from the TLCA Rubithon last year. Notice how his entire back window is obstructed by a large ice chest. His truck was loaded down similar or more than this, so you can see how it is possible to not even know the spare was gone
Put yourself in his shoes, loosing an entire 37" spare MTR. Please let me know if you saw this or know where it is!!
Thank you
Michael
