Well I’m out on Moab unfortunately and super bummed. I went and got an alignment and tire rotation right before I left. About an hour into the trip the H3 started shaking really hard going about 75 on the freeway so I started to pull over. Then a really loud pop happened and the H3 started riding really rough so I though I had a blow. However, as it turns out my rear passenger wheel had broke off all the studs from the hub and the brake rotor was sitting on the rim. Apparently the tire place I went to either didn’t tighten the bolts enough or over tighten way to much by just wailing on it with an impact. Very fortunate that no one was injured as it could have been really bad losing a wheel going down the freeway. The tire place is paying fixing it but parts won’t be in until Monday/Tuesday

I had this happen with my H1 with Big-O-Tires, except I caught it before something disastrous happened. I had the truck towed to a dealer, had them fix *EVERYTHING* related to it plus overnighted any needed parts and ran up a 2-3k bill, which I promptly sent to Big-O who paid for it immediately. They knew they would be up for a huge lawsuit otherwise.
Keep your receipts.
On a side note, my first tools were a set of torque wrenches to double check work
