Tire Destruction

After a recent burnout, the truck began to vibrate violently. When the tread separated @ approx 70 mph, it mangled the sheet metal and ripped off the body molding. The tread came up along side the bed and removed some paint. The cross members of the box bed, to the rear of the wheel well are smashed.

I simply couldn't bring myself to take pictures of the body. I have most of it repaired, save for the paint. New tires too.

You protect it from salt/sun and road idiots and then something like this bites you.......
