    Had nothing to do at home honestly so I decided to clean the truck up and do a full inspection. I only really take out the big rocks small ones usually work their self out.

    it's called rock drilling.

    4x4 off road tires without enough tread blocks spaces or sipes for rock ejecting will do that.

    Less thread depht is great for picking up nails and screws.

    A worn tire gets better mpg.

    If i see them........yes.
    If i take wheels off to work on something i inspect them and remove all foreign objects.


    Black sealant kit works to keep water away from exposed steel belts.
