Don't bring that up, that sucks what happened to ya. I don't even wanna imagine that. Everytime I go upstate I see deer on the side of the road eating, I think to myself "please stay there."

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.

Service manual says to use progressive torquing. Torque all five down to 85 ft/lbs, then re-torque them all down to 120 ft/lbs. Repeat for the other three wheels. If you still have trouble, you may have a real problem.

Sucks. I feel lucky I've never had this issue. Usually tighten in a star pattern then go around again a lil more of a turn, kinda like clown stated except without a torque wrech. Keep an eye out on those brother

Haha, alright thanks man. I'll see what happens. It was just kinda weird because it's never happened to me and within like 2 days I lost 2 lugnuts on 2 different wheels. I thought it might he been something from mudding.

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

Yea thanks man. It kinda freaked me out because I was almost just gonna drive home on the highway even though my rear wheel was making a funny sound, so I just pulled over to be safe and each of the lugnuts on it were easy to loosen just with my hands. And the other wheels were getting a little loose. I could have had a Serious problem
