So the bolts came loose or broke?

The front is just straight up gone.

The rear looks like it sheered the head clean off. I didn't have time to investigate as I was leaving for work. I'll be under it tomorrow, rain or shine. Unsure what I'm going to do without the bushing sleeves/spacers, though.

Good news though! The guy I traded them to ended up hating the 24's, so I traded him my stock LTZ 20's, the MT's that were on his 22's, and $300 to get my $24's back.

For reference. I left my LTZ 20's in my driveway for the last year, hoping someone would steal them. I was going to let the tire shop keep the 22" MT's as two of them were down to the wearbars, and two were "Deestone" junk.

So, essentially, I got Denali wheels for $300.

How’s everyone else’s day going?

I can tell you were a minitrucker. So hardcore, you drag your links. You might have @Doug118 beat with this one.

Nah, I don't build 'em anymore. I'm on the office side of things. Have been since before stuff started falling off

That was good. I don’t even have a response

Nah, I’m still in operations. Ever seen the movies where there’s a guy with a red phone, alone in a room? That’s pretty much what I do.

Y’all ain’t gonna believe this. Took a drive and found the bolt, sleeve, and one spacer spread across ~1.5 miles.

Had to fabricate a spacer until Spohn gets me one. It ain’t pretty, but it’ll do.

Blue loctite is on today’s menu for sure.

Love your manicure buddy.
You definitely lucked out finding the hardware.

What kind of nut setup was on there? Lock washer and nut, nylon lock nut, etc?

Prevailing torque, elliptical type. I’m wondering if I just didn’t torque it down. Not sure how though.

You mean lunar rover tires aren't as en vogue as your parking like a dick?

Nice centering. Although, that Accord driver is gonna have to climb over your protruding right front wheel.

You trust them on either side of you to not ding your shit? I don't care where I go, I'm not parking around anyone.

Looks like that snowflake to your left rear felt the parking rules didn't apply to them.

Keeping this here from the other thread:
Sunday 03/17 my transmission decided to identify as gender-all-neutrals. I was cruising along, low load/low RPM and suddenly had a TON of slippage, and gear-hunting. In less than a minute I went from slipping to no forward or reverse gears.

I purchased an extended warranty when I bought the truck, so it should take care of it. I'm going to ask the dealership to throw a Circle D 3200 in it while it's out, and I bought a bunch of AMSOIL fluid for the trans, diffs, and t-case.
