What did you receive in the mail today for your Ranger?

I don't know... its still feels like your fault.

As a local, I think it's those pesky transplants fault.

Nope…

I think that is the storm that just went through the end of last week, and weekend. What a mess, shut down and closed everything. I-80 / Donner Pass was closed for 5 days.

I know you guys know how to deal with snow. Most Californians can't handle a rain drop.

Be Safe.

NUTS! Cold hard nuts! By the boxload! =D

After much reading on this forum and words of wisdom from the inimitable Phil, plus lots of thought from many others smarter than me, I went with Dorman.

They ain't fancy and Soupie's not a pretty princess (especially w/o @AzBugGuy with all the graphene pressure - sheesh!). =p

They seemed like a good bet for those steelies and I'll know once I compare them with the stock ones. The chatter here about nuts getting frozen on and dealers wanting to charge $$$ to fix it was all I needed to order yet something else. Plus I get to pull out the impact wrench and feel all manly (although my shoulders will cry later).

I do like that the threading seems deeper (I almost went with open lugs nuts since that's all I know, but I guess we can be a little fancy to go along with our classy front chain. =D

3 boxes of 10, so a few spare nuts ...

bah, don't like the Made in China bit but it sure seems like they pass all sorts of American testing and certification

box o' nuts

seem pretty fancy pants to me

ooh, acorn style with domed top, plenty Nancy boy for me

seems like the flange/shoulder was a plus according to some around here

looks like deeper threading than others I looked at online

Alright, Im going to say it; that seems an excessively detailed post for nuts.

Carry on.

Hairy nu... Hmm

Heat shrink and 2 waterproof junction boxes to limit the wire runs to the rear of the truck.... Each junction box will run a pair of flood lights on the side of the truck...

And the heat shrink will ensure I get nice looking connections on the back of the deutsch connectors for the lights and chase light bar...

Hopefully the weather hold and I can get it all wired up tomorrow....

I may have washed mine ?

The flange doesn't touch the wheel.

You can make all the excuses you want, its still your fault.

As a local, it's never my fault... ?

By golly, you're right! =)

the Persuader—road conflict mediator at work

nice fit on the new nut and the bevel looks right

Dorman on the right, I guess they do look more solid, seems like better steel anyway

Dorman has a taller but narrower cap and is solid steel as opposed to that thin cap on the OEMs

Dorman "may" have one more thread in it ... I used the official how-many-clicks-of-a-sliding-toothpick counting method - the Dorman may be a gram heavier according to a scale. I'll need to weigh out like 10 of each to get a more accurate measurement

Don't fret, for those of you that like pics of my nuts, I'm sure I'll post them in nauseating detail once I change them all out. =D

Please post photos when you weigh your nuts. Are you gonna weigh them together or separately ?
