Nah..it's not a vanity thing - the new Jeep (new to me anyway) is a nicer vehicle than I've had in a while and I'm just trying to baby it - don't see us getting another car for a while now the way things are -

They're a set of locking nuts but couldn't figure out why they started going south so quick - the rims and tires are pretty near new.

I'll spend some time on it tomorrow when it's warmer again, might try some Rust Free - I may replace 'em and put on a little antiseize, like Gary said, don't wanna have to find myself having to chisel them off and wreck one of the studs. Not sure if they're the original lugs nuts or not -

Thanks you guys -

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

torch to get the wheel off
