MY lug nuts have been randomly loosening up the past couple days, I've lost 2 lug nuts and one of my wheels was close to coming off on the way home today. I don't know what the problem is. I went mudding the other day, but I wouldn't think that would affect it. Anyways I guess I should just tighten them up more?

Well I work up in the mountains, and it's a 30 minute drive each way, 6 days a week. It was only a matter of time as far as I'm concerned. On the bright side, I have full coverage. the accident is paying off the Jeep (saving me A LOT of money cause I got ripped off), and I'm trying to find a nice MJ.

I nearly lost one, one time. Some PB Blaster got in the lug nut before I put it on, and it didn't stay. I checked the proper specs after that, and I didn't have any more problems. Didn't even lose any in the rollover lol
