Ran 420 of the 500+ miles of the race course recently completed by Loren Healy in a “stock” Bronco Raptor last weekend. We certainly took a more leisurely pace compared to him, but I still DNFed with my second sidewall blowout on the stock C Load rated K02s. Lesson learned there! Ha ha. But the crew I was with managed to get a sidewall patch to hold (but still leaking) on the better of the two tires which allowed me to make it 100 miles to Pahrump NV where we located a F150 rim on Facebook Marketplace. An almost new 37” K02 mounted for $200 on a Sunday night! What are the odds? I had to drive slow and air up the leaking tire every 15 miles or so, but made it and was fully operational that night.

Some random pics, until my friend completes his more profession al video of what I’d call an epic adventure….
