It felt like I ran over a damn truck! I looked back and the loose wheel was hauling ass towards the boat. Luckily, it missed the boat and rolled out into the field next to the road.
This happened right down the road from Hogan, in front of the auto repair shop on the side of the road. The Katchenups were right behind me and stopped to lend a hand. James and mini found a couple of the lug nuts that fell off while Steve removed one from each of the other wheels and tightened the rest of them up(his too!). We jacked up the trailer axle, bolted the wheel back up and I was back on the road in short time.
I made it home without further incidence. But my trailer is pretty much destroyed!
Check them lug nuts folks!!!

Speaking of, what;s the proper torque?

I'm adding that to my list! I wish I'd have thought of it last Friday before I left for the lake!

um.... REALLY TIGHT
seeing as my trailer has alloy wheels 80' pounds.
While you're at it check the tread too... mine decided to come off cruising down the 40 on Friday... No spare either

I had the tread come off of mine 3 weeks ago coming out of Blythe and no I did not have a spare with me,it was in my garage.
Ya, a spare is now on my shopping list...
