    Went for a little trail run with some friends...
    Just now got home...Here's why:
    Going about 30mph...all of a sudden....the truck's rear drops and drags...
    I immediately thought flat tire....
    I walk out and see this:
    [​IMG]
    wheel, all lug nuts, and drum had completely fallen off....:mad::(
    We "borrowed" a lug nut from each of the remaining wheels and used them to put the wheel back on so we could at least roll the truck...


    The wheel hit the fender on the way out so add body damage to the list...:rolleyes:

    While waiting for the tow truck to arrive, we also saw an accident... Some girl took a turn WAAYY too fast....and ended up sliding into an enbankment...
    We went to check on them, and luckily everyone was ok.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    did you forget to tighten up the lugs nuts after mod day, assuming you had the wheel off?

    Uhhh...WOW...Glad that all you heard was a thump and picked up some rash from the departing wheel- insted of flipping or going sideways off a road.

    Any idea what happened??

    Hey I fell yah man!!! It's been kind of crazy out here too!!! We've had almost 10 roll-overs within a 2 week period!!! Some with major injuries and some with none. But it's definetaly been uncommon for that many vehicle accidents in such a short time period. Well I'm glad you guys are all right. Hope everything gets fixed on your truck man!:eek:

    Sorry to hear about the bad luck. As long as I was at ModDay, you didn't do anything with your wheels, so what do you think caused it?
    I know you guys were talking about going trailing last night, but it was already a long day, and then you throw this in the mix?...ouch!

    Man that sucks, really strange how that happened. What kind of wheeling were you guys doing, anything really aggressive like baja style or just some rock or what...

    Also, +1 why no pics of the girls? lol
