Thanks, I had a close call today. I went to the Bone yard to help a buddy find a good 8.8 for his rig and on the way back a loud popping sound as I hit my breaks and it got worse as I drove. I was thinking of ALL the possibles and took the diff cover off. (Needed to see how they were doing anyway being I have run about 4k miles on rebuild) Gears looked good no metal shavings, and then DUH check the wheel , and yep loose wheel! Now I know I tighhted it so Im thinking somebody must have been trying to steal them somewhere. SO Im going to get wheel locks. But VERY glad nothing else

It looked like no damage was done to the wheel.

Very cool! I know it's short notice but there's a ride at Hawk Pride in Tuscumbia Al this weekend. There a raffle and such for a charity donation that was chosen by the club. Y'all should come down.
