Blow-out damage prevention

[angerlo]

Since previous blowouts of my 14” tires left dents and black marks on the underbelly of our ‘97 TM 3023 mighty close to the plumbing, I did the following to protect the plumbing:
- purchased one ½ inch rubber mud flap (24” X 30”) for $10.85 from Ryder Fleet Products.com (JKC 2430 HD)
- cut the mud flap to make two 12 x 30 inch flaps, then cut again horizontally creating 12 X 15 sections. I used a jigsaw with a fine edge blade similar to that of a hacksaw. Then I used 3M glue to fasten the two sections together.
- Bolted the now 1” solid yet flexible flaps to the outrigger part of frame using 2” stainless steel bolts and self-locking nuts. I hope this will protect the plumbing and underside of TM.
I also use a new Tire Pressure and Temp Monitoring System bought from Truck System Technologies Inc. for peace of mind. I keep my 15” 8 ply Maxxis tires inflated at 62 lbs psi when cold. On a recent trip through the broiling South the highest tire pressure read 72 lbs. and the temp went as high as 114 F. I do not know what the danger zone is and would love to have this question answered.
