I just watched two 25-30 year old “men” take a solid 10 direction changes to parallel park their Subaru. I was so embarrassed for them I almost got up from my bench to spot them. Instead I sat comfortably and silently judged them.

Trail Day #49
Fins and things, Baby Lions Back. We avoided the Jeep Jamboree and skipped the first part. We were trying to catch up to Nate and ran the 2nd part in 45 minutes. Nate was somehow behind us.

So, this is interesting.
I went looking for my lug nut key for some reason. Good thing I did as there's no way I want to deal with having a flat tire and using these stupid locking lug nuts. I have ti hammer this socket on, put the lug nut in a vise and chisel/punch the lug nut off.
I just bought some 3/4 lug nuts that arrive tomorrow

in most cases a 17 or 19mm will zip those right off if you lose the key.

Just an update on this. The normal socket thing didn't work. I had to buy a splined socket, broke the first one that's pictured above.
All the splined junk is in the garbage. I now have every splined socket available in that Amazon kit on the left. I had to use a chisel/punch to push those splined lugs out of the spline socket.
I need to get the truck out over the holiday weekend. I'm hoping for twice but we'll have to see.

After 15 years of garage duty, I found that my Snap on 1/2" torque wrench was clicking at 150 ft lbs when set for 85 ft lbs. LOL. Guess how I discovered that?
