Re: [VAL] Lug bolt triumph



Oh I am stung ! No, all the right tools will be in the truck before I 
take off. Although it's tempting.....

Airstream sent the lugbolts over night delivery and the wheels are now 
on the trailer !

The guys didn't like the bolts, they wanted a more extended bolt so they 
could get a better grip on them with the socket. But they are on and I 
drove around for a while and they're still on and tight.

I will have to go get a thin walled socket to match and probably a 
proper breaker bar.

The wheels look TERRIFIC !!!. What a difference from the dirty black 
ones with no hubcaps !

Now, about the cup in the center. I wonder why they didn't send me those 
too.. didnt ask I guess. So I polished up the hub covers. They look like 
they were chromed once upon a time. Should I get new ones?

Wait til you see!
