If I had to guess it probably went something like Dave drove it and a wheel fell off. But I'm not 100%

Yeah, heavy 37s on a d30.
Big Dave:
Clarke is correct. Dem is some heavy tires. I was beating on it pretty good on the left side of Bad without issue. My 760 joints & stock shafts impressed me.
I was driving up the mnt. I started slipping so I stopped. I went to go again & it wouldn't move. The tire was wedged in the wheel well.
The problem was my lug nuts backed off & the wheel tore off 2 studs & ruined the others.
I backed down the mountain all the way to the bridge- 200 yards or so. Scott got me across the bridge & I drove it from there onto the trailer.
Damage done was a pin hole in my brake line, 5 wheel studs, caliper bolt & scratched my wheel up.
Once on the trailer, I checked my passengers side lug nuts & spun one off by hand.
I replaced my front studs with longer ones since my new wheels are a inch thicker. I'm guessing I didn't tighten them to spec.
A pair of brake lines, caliper bolt & new studs "should" fix it.
Huge thanks to all of the crew who were there to help out.
Special thanks to @Scott F.

Sounds fairly minor. Hopefully it's just what you described!
Big Dave:
Worst case scenario is a WJ knuckle swap. I could use the better braking with these meats anyway.
Cannonballkev:
Sounds like you needed more “Ugga ugga” with the air gun, or work out more
