South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

we have stayed on the road and also in the campground. but we stayed in the campground when it was dead empty and we couldn't find anyone or any indication as to what we should pay, so we didn't. it wouldn't be much though I wouldn't think. google North Mills River Recreation Area. the road leading through that area is Yellow Gap road. there are designated camping sites all along the road which are first come first serve. another name along that road is wolf ford. I assume its just a road with camping on the side too. theres all sorts of side roads and such to get lost on too which is fun.

 

Also, found out that my lugnuts no longer fit in my lug wrench. thanks a lot Mr. Mechanic Pants. luckily I just have a slow leak right now and I didn't go ahead and pull the nail out.

 

With a full tank of gas.

 

Afternoon gents

 

One got put on initially. Never took it off because "fuck dropping skids". Had it taken out when gears and lockers went in last week. No difference in any type of feel and no noticeable difference in CV angle before or after. YMMV

 

I was told by the guys at discount tire that my (lug) nuts are swelling, and dont fit the 21 MM nicely anymore. will need new non swolen nuts. apparently ours are plated or something, and they corrode / swell from the inside.

edit, they said its fairly common with us and the derges

 

haha true! funny story, my wife, then girlfriend, left my heated seats on over the course of 3 nights camping in the middle of that road in the middle of the winter. we didn't see anyone for a couple of days before which was nice. I come to crank the truck up to explore some and nada. not even a click. 12 degrees, coupled with a drained battery had killed the old battery. luckily not too of a walk I ran into a fellow taco whos owner was out for a bike ride. he gave us a ride into town so I could buy a new battery. it took 6 hours and 3 hitchhiking successes to get the battery back to the truck. still one of our favorite stories.

 

hmmmmm plausible I reckon. still stupid. did you just get new ones from them or somewhere else?

 

nah, not yet. I have a bag of nuts on my workbench that came with my wheels. I need to test those nuts, and compare to my old nuts, and see if the nuts in the bag are not swolen yet.

edit...people sell stock lugnuts cheap on here, not sure if the are swoled up though

 

as long as theyre not blue

 

I got some stock lug nuts if ya want them

 

do your nuts have the same swelling problem that ours seem to? haha

ill take them if they'll fit mine. I don't know which ones fit which wheels honestly

 

They was one for like 5k miles hope they're not swollen yet

 

Should be all the same I'd think

 

sweet. is it a full set or just some of them?

 

Full set

 

perfect.

 

you never know?

 

Haha, he didnt go into too much detail, but he informed me of my swolen nuts.
