Salvagedcircuit Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 I was going through my photos and found this. I think this was at this years or last years connecticut flywheel engine show: I would have grabbed it but the tools seemed cheese grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the lug nuts aren’t tight on the left side of the vehicle, the wheel wobbling around will spin them off. On the right side of the vehicle loose lug nuts spin themselves sorta snug but still loose enough the studs will bend enough to fatigue and eventually snap, or wear the nuts through the wheel. It would pay to double check the torque on the rest of the lug nuts before driving after the wheel that came off gets corrected. Usually if one wheel was loose the rest will be too. Wheels and lug nuts that have been on the same vehicle for a long time tend to wear into each other, and might not play nice when paired with a different wheel or lug nut, and require quite a few frequent retorquings before they’ll stay tight for you. This is especially true if you used lug nuts that had been used with steel wheels on an aluminum wheel. The steel wheel wears a stronger pattern into the steel nut, where a steel nut will wear itself into a much softer aluminum wheel. Aluminum wheels don’t usually like the shape that a steel wheel wears into a lug nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff351 Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 During our recent power outage after Hurricane Helene, most of us didnt have much to do once we got our property cleaned up. Someone took his trained dogs to Lowes to kill time and have random fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvagedcircuit Posted Saturday at 03:03 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:03 PM Got some astro photos of the comanche. No stitching needed. Used light painting around the tail lights to illuminate the foreground. It became too cloudy to get a good front isometric view. Hopefully tonight will be clearer and I'll be able to get a better shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzaman09 Posted Tuesday at 01:38 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:38 AM I learned what a Sundog is today. Also had the Comanche in the perfect place to get it in the middle of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
