Guard rail jumps out at 75 mph :)

[ARTEMIS1759]

So this is the aftermath of a left rear tire blowing out passing a 1 ton dually with a gooseneck trailer on the back. Got to about the cab on the dually at around 75 mph and the tire blows. The guy heard a popping sound and looked in the rear view mirror in time to see a chunk of tire fly over his truck. I believe the tread separated but can't find anyone to take the case. The guy in the dually was unloaded and locked his trailer brakes up so he would not T bone me. The Yukon slid sideways for about 100 feet (without rolling thank god). When it blew I out it in nuetral and rode it out and kept my foot off the brakes. Slammed the front left corner into the rail and then spun 180 and hit the left rear. Rolled across the road into uncoming traffic before it stopped next to the other guard rail. My wife was in the passenger seat and on the first impact the seat broke so I put my arm in front of her so she would not slide out of the seat belt and go through the windshield. After a winch and 10 pound sledge hammer fixed the front we installed the nice trailer tail light. It was a good welcome home present from over seas after serving a year with the gaurd. So anyone in ND, SD, MN or MT got a Yukon or Tahoe body in decent shape?

i rolled mine last month too... it sucks... but at least yours looks repairable.... glad you guys are alright!

Yeah, I just need a new body. It drives, runs and tracks straight. I thought about trying to find a PU to transplant the motor in until I can find a 2 door tahoe or yukon.

 

[1990GMCSIERRA]

correct me if im wrong but i think ur gona need new tires lol
u should be able to findya body

 

[ARTEMIS1759]

Yeah working on it. I believe the tire is what caused it by tread separation.

 

[1990GMCSIERRA]

how old are they? and brand plz

Where abouts are you in ND?

I've seen plenty of Yukons/Hoes running around Rapid City, SD.

 

[ARTEMIS1759]

The tires are Bridgestone Winterduellers. A couple years old and 21000 on them. I am in Bismarck but have a buddy down in Rapid. Though I am looking mainly for a vehicle I can pull the body off of (2 door) non running or real cheap. I am the only one working since my wife is disabled so I don't have a lot to spare. Under 1000. I had some guy tell me today he wanted 2000 for a 94 2 door diesel that he is pretty positive it runs but can't get it started. lol. I won't pay over a grand for something that I am not sure if or how for that matter it runs.

I'll keep on the lookout for you down here. Check out 5states.com they have vehicle auctions every month, might be able to chance upon something down there. It is out of Rapid too.
