    The OE nuts have a larger diameter at the seating edge, 1/4" maybe. Mine are like tapered acorns that have 1/8" lip around nut. This guy just didn't want to risk the liability. I get it. I work on jet engines so I understand the strength of a well torqued nut...

    God tired of two clocks, so a little 3m wrap to match the rest of the wraps and boom. An ugly solution to an annoying problem

    It means my truck is parked on the street, and I don't have a driveway. so I don't have the space to work on my truck at my place, plus if I get halfway through the job and screw something up, or something gets stuck or breaks, that prevents me from finishing the work that day, I can't leave it on the street overnight with parts disassembled.

    Ill do minor things, maybe stuff in the cabin or easily accessible under the hood, stuff that I know either I can finish within a couple hours, or can stop part-way through without disabling the truck or undo, but I'm not about to jack the truck up, and work on suspension with the truck parked at the curb, with cars driving passed me while I'm under my truck, haha

    I'll take it to my mom's (if I have all the tools I need) or my in-law's (my father in law has way more tools than I do) to do bigger jobs.

    Just find a parking lot. I've installed my bumper & changed oil a few times in a abandoned parking lot across the street.
