Jeeps don't make good tricycles

No recent tire rotation, tire change, front end alignment, etc ??
Bet you already checked the rest.
Glad it turned out as good as it did.
Pucker moment to say the least.

Me and a budy changed out the ball joints about 6 weeks ago. Could of been that but i don't think so. I'm pretty meticulous when I put lug nuts on. I do star pattern, use an impact wrench then check them with a breaker bar or torque wrench.

Herein lies your problem me thinks. If you tighten the lug nuts as described the likelyhood of over torquing them is very real. That will lead to the studs stretching. Stretched they lose their elasticity and will not hold tension on the nut and can allow them to loosen.
And or the threads in the nut begin to strip and eventually fail.
Over torqued fasteners cause just as many issues as loose fasteners.

Glad your OK, I lost the right rear duals on a 1 ton SB 25 @ 17th. Watched them pass me like I was stopped, bounced over the rail into northbound and didnt hit a thing.
Damn lucky

looks like he has aluminum rims in the photos, issue is that they require a lot more torque than a steel rim, most aluminum rims will be in the range of 110-120 ft lbs, checking your aluminum rims with a breaker bar will get you killed, torque wrench only with proper pattern.

maybe you had the rim just a bit off center? or tilted a bit
