Yep, craziness. Left home, bout two miles away I felt somethin' strange happenin' in the behind end of the Jeep, looked in the rearview and my wheel, tire, shaft and all shot across the road. Sparks a flyin' like the 4th of July, my youngin' was lookin' at me like dad whats happenin'??????!?!? Amazingly, the Jeep handled well and we simply eased off the side of the road. I had four people looking for two hours and no wheel... I went out there the next day and looked everywhere for another two hours, no luck. A few of my friends went out on their own for the next couple of days and looked many times, no luck. Finally, after damn near a week, I was determined to find it and I went about 250 yards on the other side of the road in the woods and happened upon it tucked under some under-brush and lodged between to limbs!!
Yeah, that sucked. Got a little mom and pop place to "fix" it, three days later, it flew off again, this time it was during the day and I was able to watch it roll in a field about 325 yards! WOW! So, finally I had someone put a new wide track rear end assembly on it and haven't had any more episodes like that. A Jeep story I'll remember!
