Filled the washer fluid and drilled through my buddies front skid so he had somewhere to mount his quick discos when he has them off. Then we drove through the woods

Mine used to start like that. Now it takes quite a few... I wonder if I need to replace mine.

On Monday I bought 20 new lug nuts, Tuesday I brought the Jeep in to have the wheels balanced, and have the axle side of the track bar properly torqued since it was there and saved me a 15 mile trip to borrow my brother's torque wrench.

Today I had to tighten the track bar again, so I assume they didn't do it or use a torque wrench on it. Even after doing that it still didn't feel quite right so I checked the lug nuts. Out of the 20 new lug nuts 7 were loose and one was stripped. 4 of those loose lug nuts were on the rear passenger side The stripped one was on the rear drivers side.

That is one garage that has lost any future business and recommendations from me. Worst part of it is that it wasn't even Canadian Tire that did the shoddy work.

Wow, some tire shops use those torque limiting extensions that go on impact wrenches instead of using torque wrenches (BIG NO NO in my book). I always make sure they don't use them on my stuff and I always double check over their work once its done.
