so you get a flat. what do you do?

[supermanlives]

just curious what folks have to make it easier. improved jacks,fix a flat,plug kit,air compressor, and my latest is a impact driver18v. it runs the scissor jack and the lug nuts. are you prepared? do you wait for aaa?.

I usually time myself to see how fast I can get the tire changed, makes it fun.

having a mini floor jack on wheels makes jacking the vehicle up safer, that 12v impact is nice too.

I've thought about getting the impact, but the reviews on the cheap ones are bad and it doesn't justify the cost for the good ones. Maybe if I had a daughter, I would get one for her, or put one in my gf/wife's car.

I lmao every time I see someone with a flat on the side of the road and I see them on the phone. GET OUT AND CHANGE THE DAM THING!! lol Talking on the phone ain't gonna get it done.

I have an old 3 foot high thing they call in my day a "Handy Man" weighs 60 lbs, it stays in the 73 Chevy PU for life. Not only can you fix a flat..you can jack your rig precariously to the top of it when you're bottomed out in the snow or mud, push the rig off the jack where it will fall 2 feet out of your rutts. Don't try this if you never have..it can be dangerous to your health..smiles..DD

truck: carry a jack but no spare.

car. new tire and jack under there somewhere. would be a good idea to carry a can of fix a flat tho. i will use my phone alright....to call A CAB!

 

[DIDM]

put the spare on, drive to Les Schwab and they fix for free as long as one of your tires was bought there, hell they will even do it if you didn't buy any tires there. They also do free rotations.

When on my motorcycle I always have 2 small cans of fixaflat. No place to carry a jack or a spare tire, so ya make do with what ya have.;-}

 

[Hovz]

From what i understand fix a flat isn't all that great. I would use the jack that came with my truck and the spare that came with my truck because im a cheap bastard, then i would prolly plug the hole myself again because im cheap, and drive around on it until the wires start poking out.

 

[kongbud]

I'm a big fan of fix a flat to get it off the road and home if possible

 

[izzybud]

always have a spare, jack, craftsman battery powered impact, and all the tools needed to rebuild a motor if needed on the side of the road.

fuck depending on anyone to come by.

If my car become disabled, I calmly gather my drugs and abandon the vehicle...returning wen I'm clean! Peace homies

 

[supermanlives]

there is some hotties across the street. i keep hoping one of em gets a flat.lol especially the asian one

 

[Arthritis_sucks]

Grab the bottle jack from the back of my 05 unlimited wrangler, pull the spare off the back an switch out.
