Murphy Brown needs help from locals
Looks like she hit a rock and no dealers close by. If you can help give her a call.
Karyl Oules (Murphy Brown) (509) 630-0836
Split rim in Phillipsberg or burg Kansas.

I just talked to her. She and Fred are at the side of the road about 10 miles out of Phillipsburg, Kan., waiting on roadside assistance to arrange a hauler to take her and her Spyder and trailer to a motel in Phillipsburg. The nearest dealer is about 200 miles away in Lincoln, Neb, but they're closed until Tuesday. I think Len is on the case to help her find a rim and tire.
I'm glad Fred is with her to keep her company.

I'm in McCook, NE tonight and can change plans to go down and help, but how???? If anyone has any idea what I might be able to do to help let me know. Otherwise I'll continue on through south Nebraska toward St Joseph, MO. Then on to SF!!!

The Pitbull dealership sure does go the extra mile (and then a few hundred more) to help its loyal customers.
Good on you !!

Really glad to hear you are OK. Could have been bad. Also glad Fred was with you.
Len and Pitbull are first class and really stepping up. As it should be but not everyone is that good. They are GOOD.

Wow Karyl, glad you are OK!
I remember when I posted a thread about carrying a spare wheel with me on road trips and people made fun of me, what a stupid/useless idea etc. Really glad you found help and didn't get stranded for long.

Which will would you carry? Front or back - tire mounted or not?

Apologies to Murphy Brown for a partial hijack of her post.
I now have a reasonably sized trailer & have been pondering this.
If you take a front wheel with tire on (oem one) it will only correctly go on one of the front axles.
I have a spare rear rim with a new Kumho installed on it & also 2 front rims & 2 non installed spare Kenda oem tires.
Will probably take a spare front tire & the rear rim with the Kumho on it when I tour the north shore of the St Lawrence as far as Baie Comeau then ferry over & circle the Gaspe this summer. Plus a jack, lug wrench, torque wrench, kitchen sink etc & I have a spare battery.
