Yep ,One loose lugnut away from the wheel coming off.Didn't notice anything wrong till exiting 275 at colerain.The jeep started shaking as I was slowing down.

Damn I was lucky.. Trashed a wheel though.

Have a fun and safe trip.

A rim is going to stop you? need a spare rim? You have to go!

Oh chit! Sorry to see that... Glad it wasn't worse!

Do you not trust your spare on the street? I know you had a sidewall sectioned at one time...

If you're willing to run that one, I've got that brand new 35" KM2 on a 5x4.5 rim I can lend you as a mismatched spare so you can go.

But if you use it, do try to tighten those lugnuts! :D

u goin?

I'm planning on going....I have heard that the only hotel in the area now is the one downtown (the one outside of town closed down).

i had the same thing happen to me on fj40 when i was flat towing it.
drove from Telico to lexington stopped to get gas and when i turned off the exit ramp the wheel and tire came off and went straight, headed back down the on ramp.
good to hear nothing serious happened...
always got to have to some excitement to keep you on your toes...
:beers:

i wanna go butttt have to see

a little birdie told me that alot of your $time$ has been going into your remote control :D

tweet tweet :rolleyes:

Rockin' Robin.

I thought your name was Scott?

lol yeah i think i went to far with it but im going the distance

No, just offering my tire, so I'd be there in spare-it... :rolleyes:

Robert

I am going to have to back out on this trip. My parents called and asked for some help in Morehead. I havent been around much this year, so off I go.

See you guys soon.

Thanks for the offer.. Wish that was the only problem. All the studs are bad and my front locker is acting strange.. I don't have the time thru the week to even track down parts.

Bummer:( I hate missing out on a Badlands trip..

Nick

Count me and another Jeeper in for this trip for sat.. We will be ariving around 9ish

Whats will be the best way to get ahold of you fellas once there???

Rob

CHANNEL 12! You will not have alot of ride time getting there so late. You staying to run sunday as well?

well since they open at 9.00 you will be fine but i do think they went back to there winter hours of 9-5 even on fri and sat.

channel 12 will be what we are on and hopefully one of our radios will receive at a distance. there will be 2 zuks,2 cjs, silver xj and a yj that should be together and at the gate by 9 and down in the lower parking lot soon there after unloading.

if you have a flag dont forget it or you will end up with multiples like the rest of us who forget them :rolleyes:

see ya there

I will not be able to make the trip. I am still waiting on the replacement axle shafts. :(

Be safe and have fun! :)

Thanks,
Jeff

For some reason I took it as leaving cincy at 9 and was concerned. Ignore me as I am a bit tired or somethin.

dealio.... **** my flag was bolted on 3 days ago!!! cya guys there

good deal looking forward to it after today. still need to do some repairs from west virginia but it wouldnt be a normal trip if i wasnt working on it on the way there.

I have yet to see any of the newer bilsteins survive anything other than street use. Not what they used to be. There is a manufacturing facility 1 mile from where COREs meetings are held that makes these. China may own them now.

WTF?!! that's nuts!!
