About a year ago, I posted some pictures of Onyx with this Huey helicopter when it had just arrived in Bullard, TX. It has since been mounted, and is on display at the American Freedom Museum. Today, I was finally able to catch the gates open with no one in the parking lot to get a few new pictures with it.
Plus, I love showing off Onyx when she is Naked. I have the whole week off so staying this way until at least Saturday.

While driving to the gym this morning, making a turn I heard a loud crunching sound. After a visual inspection, I found that 3/5 lugs on my spacer had sheered completely off the spacer. The two lugs left holding the wheel on, were super loose. Luckily, I had my TQ wrench with me, tightened it down and was able to baby it to the tire shop right down the street. They were able to remove the spacer but it's completely toast.
Luckily this did not happen on the highway, because probably just a few more miles down the road, I would have lost the wheel completely and went nose down.
So, after this near horror, my wife and I have discussed our options and have opted to instead of run spacers, purchase a new set of wheels for the Jeep.
Instead of buying a set of cheap wheels, I spent the extra money money and purchased my dream wheels for Onyx that id planned on running in the future.
Now this was a stage 3 upgrade, but due to the events of this morning, we've moved it up.
Discount Tire will (fingers crossed) have the wheels Friday. They will be mounted, balanced, and looking good

That sounds intense! Glad no one was hurt. I thought spacers were stronger. Is there some kind of warranty against braking/ cover your damages since it was their products fault?
