On a lighter note, I get the new 97 GC tomorrow. I will be throughly stripping the 94 before she is sent for scrap metal.

Good luck suing the shop. Lugnuts are supposed to be retorqued after the first 100 miles whenever a wheel has been removed and reinstalled. This seems to be especially true of aluminum wheels. Do we all do that? Well some do and some dont. I started doing it after my neighbors wheel loosened up 300 miles after he did a brake job on his jeep and he is 100% positive he had torqued all the lugs. I'm not saying that the shop that you took your jeep to didnt forget to properly tighten the wheel nuts, I'm just saying its going to be hard to prove they didnt especially if you went more than 100 miles since they worked on it. The good part is you didnt kill yourself or anyone else when the wheel came off. A reminder to anyone reading this, grab a lug wrench and check your nuts, especially if your wheels have been installed recently......BG

Ive forgotten to tighten the lugs on my back left wheel once... Didnt make it a 1/8 of mile before 4 were gone... Never felt right at all... At some point common sense says pull the hell over... Something aint right...

The truck was fine until about 5 seconds before the wheel came off though.
Its fine though. The new 97 GC I bought is WAYYYYYYYY better than my old 94.
