CORE Badlands trip

Coppertop · 10-19-2009, 11:19 AM

I planned to go.. Then major carnage this weekend on the way home from wheeling.

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!

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...

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..
