I'm headed home this summer, 1900 mile drive + a week or so wheeling New Mexico, Colorado and possibly Moab. Does anyone advise against keeping the wheel spacers on for the entire duration of the trip? Is it a bad idea, i dont want them to fail in the middle of nowhere and leave me stranded. Appreciate any input fellas.

 

In my '07, I made many long road trips with Spidertrax wheel spacers. If you're concerned then remove the wheels and check the torque.

 

Yeah i planned to stop every 500 miles on the way there to check the torque, which may be excessive but I just dont want to be bring back a horror story. I've only heard one story of a guy that lost his wheel on the highway but the spacer stayed on, which makes me trust the spacer but i wondered how that wheel loosened up enough to just shit the bed like that.

 

If your concerned, check the torque before making the trip. I have never had an issue with mine

 

Right on, good to hear no issues.

 

Good to hear, thanks. How often did you check the torque on them during the trip, if ever?

 

Hey man. I don't know about you, but I would rather be over cautious on something as serious as that, than not caring at all

On topic though, you will be perfectly fine, but I might check the torque before you leave and after you go wheeling. have a safe trip oh.! And take a lot of pics

 

Yeah i dont mind checking often, just makes me feel better if anything. I'll start a pic thread when its all done. Gonna be a hell of a trip!
