^^^ had a 1977 Ford Ranger 4×4 back in the day. My father in law used a electric gun to put on the lug nuts & I questioned it. He said it was fine. It started to shake real bad on i95 & it was scary. I pulled over. Sure enough. They came loose

Re: New to me Monitor 7 and 5
I’ll measure the spokes and windows this evening. I didn’t do it last night because just by eyeballing it they look the same. The only difference I noticed was the newer MW had the little tabs. Where I did notice a difference is between the magnets and baskets. Also the older ones had a factory gasket whereas the newer one has the white hand placed gasket. I put one of each in the 7s and they sound the same.

I believe that's the series with Graham Hancock.
I personally enjoy the heck
out of Hancock's work.
80% of Commenters will dismiss ANYTHING that he does simply because "He doesn't have a degree in Archaeology !"
Or Astronomy.
Or Oceanology.
They base their arguments on credentials and ignore that frequently Hancock is merely raising valid questions.
Interesting interviews on Rogan's podcast.

Re: Post a picture.....any picture...part deux...
Who is tightening lug nug nuts every 100 miles?
Not every 100 miles. Just once. After mounting a tire on a car (at least when the tires are on alloy wheels), one is supposed to check torque after about 50 miles and re-torque to spec. The place we get our tires (which is very good) insists on it... but, on the bright side, they'll essentially drop everything & check "in real time" so to speak when one brings a car back for re-torquing.
It's not a bad idea to check torque now and again, though.
The tire place also rotate tires they sold for free and will also put on snow tires they sold for free -- and that's the problem.
I did my own rotation this time because, despite my best intentions to take the car in and get 'em done while Mrs. H was in Africa... I didn't 
Now they're hella busy with snow tire installations, and so I decided to do 'em myself. I will probably throw Mrs. H's snows on, too, for the same reason.My tires are the Michelin Crossclimate 2 which are really nice all weather, all year (!?!) tires -- but they need to be rotated every 3k miles, or one won't get the tread life of which they're capable. I take Michelin & the tire place at their words.
