I went riding today with some buddy's and we where going down the road and my tire fell off my Rubicon :oops: I let my cousin use it for a few weeks and he said he had taken the tires off to swap his outlaws on to it and must have not tighten the lug nuts up good! it scared the crap out of me😂 but we lifted it up and slid the tire back on and tighten it with my impact and I went around and made sure everything was tight. From now on I am going to keep a better watch on things! I always tighten and grease everything every few hundred miles but for some reason It just slipped my mind after I got it back from him.

Happened to us at takeover 2019 on our 500. We kept hearing clunking noise from driver front wheel so we were headed back to camp when all of a sudden the wheel went rolling on down the trail by its self. Turned out I hadn't torqed the nuts for the spacers enough.
