    Minnesota has 6 weeks of piss poor sledding :p Officially the coldest State in CONUS. What the hell was I thinking?!

    Did a thing tonight with a Wagyu Ribeye. Was worth the price but at $50 a lb. will not be doing it often. Had to try it at least once. Like a moth to a flame...

    Squash with Montreal Seasoning and avocado oil. Bacon wrapped asparagus with Pit Faced rub.

    Then seared the steak for 3 minutes a side over really hot charcoal. Was perfect.

    Luck be with us tonight.

    We were going to the store when I felt the back end sway back and forth. I pulled onto a side street and heard a loud bang.

    I was checking for loose lug nuts and when I shook the last tire I found it. The lug nuts were tight so it must be the wheel spacers.

    I'm glad I stopped when I did. all six studs were sheared off.

    [​IMG]

    Funny thing is all six nuts are still tight and in place on the spacer. I put them on myself and hand torqued them. They have been on over a year.

    [​IMG]

    Called AAA and requested a flatbed. With his real jack we were able to get three lug nuts on just enough to get it on the flatbed and run it onto my driveway.

    Did you get extended studs and or did you confirm full thread involvement for your nuts ?
    I fail inspections for spacers all the time.

    You must inspect those spacers often. Double check condition and torque.
    Best thing to do it take them off. They put high extra load on those studs.
    I hate spacers.
    I am happy it was fixable without damage to the body / suspension / or you.
    If one did that I would be going after the others.

    On edit.
    Now that I have had 2 cups of coffee I think I see the nuts were indeed fully seated and involved.

    So for sure get them off... it will happen again....
    But that’s my opinion..
