Rear Passenger side wheel
Hey guys, Last weekend I went mudding
. It twas a blast, but ever since I went I notices a "scraping" like sound coming from the Rear Passenger Side wheel when I would be driving. I checked it out, and it was missing a lugnut....Long story short, put another on, and it still making the sound. My question is.. What is your opinion it could be?
because I have the slightest.. Thanks.

^^^X2,.....Pretty sure you have dried up mud / pebbles caught between the rear drum and brake shoes causing it to scrape like sand paper as you drive down the road.
Pull of your rear drum and shack and dust all the mud and crap out of it and clean off the brake shoes and drum with some brake parts cleaner and then reinstall your drum.

I hate drum brakes for this exact reason.. I've had my brake shoes/drums packed with mud a few times after having gone mudding. Then again I also somehow got a random house key jammed in my front caliper one time last year after a mud bog.. wasn't expecting to find that when cleaning the brakes to find the noise.

It sounds extreme but you could actually have a small rock inside your drum. Check the front as well cause the sound may be fooling you.
I found a rock jammed inside the caliper of my ex's RAV4 one time.
