[QUOTE="NotMatt, post: 1310471, member: 15947"] Loaded my wrangler up on my dad's old double axle trailer one saturday afternoon, getting it all ready for wheeling on Sunday. Decided to tow into town to top everything off with fuel so we could get on the road ASAP the next day... good thing I did, cause one of the wheels fell off the trailer while I was taking a sharp turn at a light. Turns out the welds on the whole hub assembly broke and it came loose from the axle tube. Pulled into the grocery store parking lot with the tire half there, rubbing on the inner fender, pondering WTF to do. Two minutes later a buddy of mine pulls up and says he saw it all happen from across the intersection. We unloaded my wrangler, jacked up the trailer with the hi-lift and finished breaking the welds, threw the tire in the bed of my truck. He drove the wrangler home, I drove the 3 wheeled trailer and truck home, and had it all fixed up that afternoon and still got to wheel the next day. I also lost a wheel due to loose lug nuts on the same trailer one time going over stevens pass... don't know where, cause I didn't notice it was gone until I went to back the trailer in it's parking spot. Then there's the couple of times I towed the same trailer, loaded, with a half ton '79 chevy van, 305 and TH350. Not pretty, but power steering fluid WILL work in a TH350 in a pinch. :haha: [/QUOTE]
