Long weekend Dawn result
Submitted by z00m on Mon, 2017-06-05 16:35
I had it all planned, had the bait in the esky, drinks sorted, lunch packed, rigs made, reels serviced and ready for a full day fishing today given the forecast.
Early morning and headed for the ramp in the dark when 2 k's from home it all went wrong. Trailer felt a bit rough compared to normal so pulled over and saw this. No spare so I limped back home. Yeah I know, a simple spare would have had me underway again if a flash. Replacing all 4 tyres as all the tyres look to be of the same age/brand tomorrow.

Make sure your shackle
Make sure your shackle plates on the centre rocker on the springs goes the right way up once tyres are fixed.

Thanks, will do. Didn't know they were wrong so compared to pics online and you're spot on.

No spare?
lesson learnt, I guess. And yep, good idea to replace all four if they are all the same age, they get to the point where they will fail for no apparent reason. Are you getting good LT's?
