I left from Thunderhill on Friday evening.
i got about two exits down the freeway and I see this truck driver on the other side of the freeway with his eyes all bugged out like a Volkswagen! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/shocked[1].gif)

I looked in my mirror and I see smoke billowing out of my fender well on my dual axle trailer. Then sparks (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

Total blowout.
