The tire hit the ground. Hard.
Reinforcement wouldn't have saved that.

So, this seems to be a great example of why a tail gate reinforcement is needed for larger tires. Thoughts? It looked like the tailgate buckled pretty quick - but yes he did send it quite forcefully.

No tailgate reinforcement will stop that.

actually .. this is more reason why you shouldn't run a spare

in this example, removing the spare would have resulted in no damage.

Yep, no reinforcement would of helped with the end result, bouncing that spare off the embankment was pretty harsh to say the least.

Proper throttle control would have caused zero damage. :rolleyes:
