Torque (wrench) Talk

I never torque my wheel lugs anymore.
Your methodology works for sure. However I’ve experienced a rear wheel passing me with a fully loaded RRC. After collecting myself, finding the wheel, and installing it using 1 wheel nut from the 3, we limped to our camp ground in Moab. We sang “You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel” after a few drinks that night.
Now I check / torque any time a shop touches a wheel on any of my vehicles.
