Thanks fer the suggestion! It would be easier to just take the wheel pant off to inspect the lug bolts. Of course, it would be a whole lot easier and cheaper to just make sure they were torqued down correctly in the first place. I will just have to chalk this one up as a learning experience to make sure everything is properly in place and tightened correctly before buttoning it up. At least I can say I made a boo boo as well when it comes to tightening lug bolt/nuts.
So far, 4 new lug bolts at Tractor Supply Co cost me about $9 and a new replacement tire from Harbor Freight about $33. At least the trailer jack did the job I needed it to...and not a trip too late either!
I'm thinking about making the lower front support brace out of some tubing so it can't git deformed too badly if I back into the curb.
