Default My wheel......fell off
So, I was riding around earlier at about 8:40pm doorless around 55mph and my jeep started shaking.... A mere second or so later my drivers side rear wheel goes flying past me and that side's rear shock mount goes digging into the asphalt. It ground out some of the inside of the wheel and the lug holes are rounded out on my brand new (~20 miles) Fuel Trophys. I don't think those lugs got anything more than finger tightening..... What a night
