My FRUSTRATION is the popup in the lower right corner (usually video) and my cursor will disappear and sometimes will move to another line of text (then the words) will get merged with previously written text or just get lost completely and I have to grab the mouse and (Re-Click) to get the cursor on then typing line I am on. (GRRRRR)
It makes it worse as I am a (Look at the Keyboard & Type) only to look up to find (WTF) and have to retype what I thought - I had typed, is hidden somewhere - as it is certainly not on my screen. ?‍♂ :crackup:
Hey, I took a typing class in 7th grade - taught to use the home keys - but I never grasp at that time that Computers would be taking over the world.
Regarding the disappearing comments, I type my reply in Notepad and copy and paste it to the comment area.

Drove with them on today and everything feels great....is it possible to feel better even? Maybe Firestone that put my wheels on had them over-torqued, but I swear, but truck feels more compliant now and feels like it absorbs the road better now...Just a better feeling or perhaps it's all in my head.
Over torqued?!?! Why, how many foot lbs?

It’s your head combined with the magic gummies you ate ???

I got a set of splined lug nuts in black as part of my chrome delete project. Got a few done when I took a closer look. The bearing surface that contacts the wheel is about 1/3 to 1/2 of the factory lug nuts. I feel it should contact the full length of the available wheel surface, so I put the old ones back on. Thoughts?

I bought a similar set, with the same issue. Returned them and ordered a black standard set on Amazon, they fit perfectly.

Several others have suggested those too. They must be good.

The wider ring is to hold the center plastic hubcap in place on an XL Ranger. See Step #6 here:
