With the tire step enabling me to get up close to things it wasn't bad at all. If I do it again I'll use the 1/4" ratchet that'll fit into the close quarters better than the Torx driver, but it wasn't such a PITA that I felt a need to go back to the toolbox.

Tired of clunking sound from the rear while going down the rough road. Replaced shocks (original from factory it appears). Tried it out. Still some clunking, but better. Climbed underneath with rubber hammer and beat around. Did you know that if some fool blows out the rear pass tire and it bends up the lower panel, it probably bends the end of exhaust pipe as well? Clunking is tail pipe hitting on bottom edge of fender. Gotta find piece of 3" pipe with 45 deg bend. Making progress, slowly but surely.

Ouch. Doesn't sound like a fun day

I'm guessing you were able to recover the tire from where ever it rolled off to?

Edit: I had a situation like that on my S10 Blazer, but I caught it before the wheel had a chance to come off. Was driving home one day and all of a sudden the steering wheel started to vibrate like crazy, couldn't find anything wrong. It got worse and worse, going home after work I stuck my head out the window and pressed on the brake, saw the front wheel get pulled back into place. The wheel had wallered out around 3 of the 5 (or 6, can't remember anymore) lug nuts.

Edit: I also had the upper control arm on the driver side break while driving to work. Totally NOT fun either

Put some miles on my truck this weekend. Drove for 4 hours to go deer hunting. At the last town I can still get cell service in, I called the wife to check in before I left the grid. She told me my 2 yr old fell and maybe broke her arm and they where on the way to the urgent care (turned out to be a broken wrist). So I turned around and drove 4 hours back home.
