Got a link? I have very little clearance on my panhard bolt.

If it's anywhere near high heat then of course all metal locknuts are needed.

Picked up 4 new to me used 37”x12.5” mtr’s 30-40% tread no weather checking or dry rot for $100. Better then the 15% tread and weatherchecked bfg’s I was running. Mtr’s stand 1” taller then the bfg’s so I’ll need to cycle and recheck all of my clearences.
100$ for 4 is a stupid good deal..
That was my issue. No clearance so it got a regular nut. All other suspension and shock bolts are lock nuts. I’ve never had the issue before. I had just reassembled the rear setup and just never did a bolt check after 3 trips on the new setup... mistakes happen when you get comfortable.
Yah couldn’t pass on them. The morning I bought them I blew out another bfg that evening due to my link bolt backing out. So now I have a matching set of mtr’s on the truck and 3 spare bfg km2s to run as spares.
We’ve mixed and matched the nylock nuts, like you I’ve been pretty lucky.. I think it’s similar to the fine/coarse thread debate.. my truck has some areas I cannot fit a lock washer so I just torque them every trip.. but it would be nice to know they can’t come loose..
I need to find me a tire guy like yours.. I still don’t have a solid spare..

What about all metal lock nuts?? Or locktite?
Just cross thread it and send it home.
Last time I did this it took a lot of sawzall blades.

Last silver lake dune trip of the year this weekend. Going to test a few changes and keep it easy on the truck. After this weekend start prep again to get the truck ready to head west at the end of November.
Running old tires for the last trip?
Couple pics from the last trip out. Found an Awesome jump that my wife made me hit about 30 times in a row. Most fun I’ve ever seen her have in the truck. I didn’t mind at all. Gonna start prepping to go west in the a.m.

That’s the payoff there.
can't wait to see you here. Guess I should prep my truck for the run haha
Some more pics from this past weekend. Jump was so buttery. I had some video sent to me today of it I’ll post on my social media later this week.
In that first pic with the rear axle fully stuffed and the spares out back it almost looks like you blasted the rear axle through the bed. Lol
