Tiny rant. Sorta amusing unless they end up dead inside creating dark spots. Lat night I had impaled a rock into a rear tire, deflated fairly quick. The rock is still very much in there, the Cooper Zeons did not take it well. Oops! Charing to the spare should have been simple but those dang LR lugs that ballon up with corrosion make it take at least an hour to do. Limited tools and persistent hammering of the sockets onto the lug with my very nice Craftsman torque wrench. Anyway it was midnight so I left the truck running to keep the dog cool. And apparently some bugs loved the cluster. Those buggers go inside and behind the info display! And they actually have room to fly around a bit (jump maybe). How the???? Probably dead by now, will find out tonight.

 

lol

and that is why I use solid steel lugs on my alloys and steel wheels

 

I wanted to get all new lugs, but I plan to get those steel wheels once the full suspension rebuild is done. So I put it off. Going to steal some extras from the neighbor and replace the bad ones for now. Worst design!

 

...I've never seen that!
