JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Fail!!!!

Why use an impact gun anyway this isn't a dump truck. Glad everyone is ok though.

that could happen to anyone, spacers or not, if you overtorque the lugnuts.

I think it's probably even better to say that the mechanic failed. The spacers didn't cause this and I'm willing to bet the studs didn't either. The assclown doing the work caused it, that's most often the case.

Last time my Jeep was at the dealer the mechanic came out and told me "Make sure you check your lug nuts when you get home. I had a lady come back and bitch because she lost two lug nuts on the way home. My impact gun isn't working properly."

USE A TORQUE WRENCH.

This is correct. The spacer did not fail. The lugs were WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY OVER TIGHTENED!!!! I took off all of the wheels today and most of the lugs are stretched. I am going to buy 4 more spacers and start over. If I didn't have spacers the same thing would have happened to the factory lugs.

That's perfect, now I can sell one of them to you. Say $200? Just kidding. Pick the best as a early birthday gift from me to you.
