NJ B.S. Thread

Thanks man, it was def a wild ride back home

 

@Sub-Zero @04yota - can you give an accurate description of where the tire came off?
It was roughly two hundred or so yards before the PNC exit that we found Angelo right?

 

Thanks for helping man. I took a drive there this morning and couldnt find anything. I have a feeling it is in the bushes to the left of the express lane. Didn't hop on the express lane, but I saw a couple of the maintenance people from the gsp also on the express lane fml. I did noticed however, there is a nj trooper station there. I belive holmdel. I asked one of the troopers if they can notify me if the maintenance crew finds it. He grabbed my info and all. After I left, I was wondering if I did right or not lol. Me and @Sub-Zero saw commotion underneath the bridge by the arts center last night. wonder if it was my tire causing that!! Lol so I was fuc$!#

 

Hahaha

 

Yes I must have driven at least 600 yards with sparks on my ear

 

Id be down to help find it...

 

Hopefully it didn't land into someone's windshield. That would really suck.

Doubtful though, because the Tropper that stopped and chatted with us after the spare installation would've mentioned something.

 

so it could have possibly gone into that little underpass going into the pnc arts center? I went down there too didnt see anything I also saw a maintenance guy along the northbound local lanes, hopefully it turns up, it'd suck to lose a $300+ brand new wheel/tire
edit: looked at the map, the pnc exit is a lot longer than I thought

 

For sure. So I figure it's somewhere in the express lane, but hard to stop and peak while driving

 

Yea man for sure. I will try and post a pic from Google maps to see if that helps

 

Some of the carnage from last night. The ball joint bolt is right at the cotter pin in the affected side. As you can see the difference from the other side

 

Right here is where it happened I believe, could've been even a little further south (few hundred yards)

 

I think that nut saved the rest of your LCA.

 

What is a button head bolt? Pic?
I'll swing by my local Tractor Supply something this week to find it. It's a new TSC , so everything in the nut and bolt aisle is still neat and organized and restocked.

 

@04yota glad you made it through that safely. If there's a search party this weekend I'm in.

 

Isn't there wheeling in NJ this Sun?

 

This is exactly where I was when it happened. As soon as the tire fell off I merged right and stayed there. It was not a shoulder.
@Subway4X4 the nut and the abs saved me believe it or not. As soon as the tire fell the abs kicked in and I feel like it didn't make the rotor spin, but instead just drag

 

Cool. Thank you Lloyd. I can't find one anywhere. I'm yhinking it doesn't exist... lol

It can have an Allen or Torx head. Doesn't matter. Grab two if they have them. 5/8-18 x4"

I MIGHT even reimburse you

 

well no ones doin anything saturday anyway
Id be down to join a search party lol

 

Lol we can have a search party Saturday unless the maintenance people find it
