lost caliper bracket bolt

i just changed my rotors last saturday, and then my dad borrowed my truck to work on a rental house he has. unfortuanately, at some point the lower bolt that holds the caliper bracket on vibrated it's way out (even though i torqued it) and he didnt know the sounds of my truck well enough to know something was wrong. it caused the caliper to dig into the inside of the rim (which was new! i got them 2 weeks ago!) really hard. the caliper actualy ground half the thickness of the rim out before it finnaly exploded at a stop sign. the rim actualy exploded in half at about the center line of the wheel!!! it really pisses me off because i just bough them, and now i have to go buy a new bolt, a new rim, and a new 33" BFG all-terrain. i am not happy with ford right now.

I wouldn't be too quick to blame Ford. You worked on it last, not them.
