Ha, ha!!!
It was actually a Milwaukee cordless impact. I might have been a little lite on the trigger.

I quit removing lug nuts by hand. I broke several studs off after a rather large bowl of Wheaties.

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.

Hope it's an easy and quick fix up. 

When folks ask why that 8 lug life... :)

So do you like the wheels and tires? What did you air down to?

Yes. The psi was 5 to 8. I have a foot of ground clearance under the diffs.
