Now I have the Paul Harvey on the whole thing. Some great driving skills for sure. Sorry you lost the wheel.
Yep I was in the same boat with my wife on car mods lately. I was able to negotiate with the purchasing department however. Its a secret at this time on how I did it. I'll tell you tonight if we end up getting that beer.
Good Luck.
thats interesting. same thing happened to me on friday when my wheel spacer effed up. it must be a white ZJ thing.
Are you going to sell the other one now?Originally Posted by Puma297
Spoke with Dynatrac today who built the axles and they are guessing the lug nuts came loose and sheared off the wheel studs. That would really piss me off at myself to be so careless.

Its not too late to accept a free beer on me just to make you feel better. I am around the corner from you tonight. Staying off of the 5 and western in Glendale.
tough break, glad you are ok though
The D44 you have uses unit bearings? That's what had me thinking it was a D30.

It was partially a joke and partially praise for how prepared you always are. Guess its still too raw for jokes, sorry 'bout that.
I'm really happy to hear that you're alive and well, Sandy. That must have been one hell of a ride. I can certainly understand your frustration...taking time off, packing the rig, reserving the room, and so on. I'm damned glad that that's ALL you lost, and certainly attributable directly to your experience and cool-headedness (is that a word??) Anyway, we missed you, but I'm glad that we have the opportunity to catch up in Moab instead of the alternate.
This is not something that I deal with daily, so bear with me...but if all five lug nuts came loose, the wheel would have left the hub intact and gone flying off somewhere. Also, you'd have gotten a LOT of vibration prior to one or two seconds previous...namely every time you changed lanes or made a turn, if not moving straight forward.Originally Posted by Sandy R
Now, I do know that the unit-bearing WILL separate just like that if the outer shaft is broken or missing, because one of my buddies broke an outer on the trail and tried to drive home on the unit-bearing without the shaft inside (he removed the entire shaft, inner and outer) and the same thing happened. SO...my money is that the shaft had sheared long before you got on the freeway, and wasn't holding the assembly together tightly. May be water under the bridge at this point, but their assessment doesn't make any logical sense to me.
Anyway, hang in there, and again, I'm *REALLY* happy to hear that you're going to be OK. These events aren't the same without you, and I'm glad that we'll be blessed with your company in Moab.
Thoughtfully,
Kevin
I can sell it to Chase so he'll have a complete pair!Originally Posted by BigDaveZJ
