Hey Brad
Whatever you do with the knuckle studs (and the ARPs are certainly the way to go if the $$ are there), when you get them torqued down to the right specs, take some finger nail polish or a good visibility paint (white/silver/yellow) and mark a line across the top of the knuckle stud and nut. That way you can just look over the top of the tire to see if they have gotten loose or not. Still a good idea to check them every time you do a routine tightening of everything you can get a wrench on. I do this routinely about every two weeks and do it more often during good weather, especially before each wheeling trip. It is also a good idea to simply check everything under the rig visually when you do this: see what is rubbing, bushings getting worn, u joints wearing, cracks in welds, belts or hoses getting worn or cracked, etc, etc....and etc. Trail repairs usually suck wind for everyone involved. The more you can do to prevent them, the better off you are going to be...

). If you want one, PM me your address and I'll throw one in the mail. Like JH said, 12.8 metric is an OK upgrade but APR's are the way to go once to get to big tires and hydro assist steering.

anyone know a good place in the springs to get cb stuff?
