Just checked my wheel nuts today (2012 GU 8) and you guessed it - the indicators had moved and they were a little loose on the rear LHS wheel. Looks like this issue still prevails.

I don;t think the issue will go away if Nissan sticks with the same wheels. Mine loosened up a fair bit on my trip and that was the main reason I now have steelies....so far so goodQuote:

Yep, unfortunately that is the truth. There are thousands of Patrol drivers out there not aware of any issues what so ever. That is why this forum if so great!Quote:

Good way to get free trailer wheels, but too far gone to repair, will happen with steel rims too. re torque after 15-20 Ks IMO. Got a good home for ones that come off, Thread on steel and alloy with pics somewhere
Hey threedogs. Needed to re-torque after a couple of thousand kms!
yep I lost one wheel nut the other day on my GQ :(
$4 dollars later, good as new. In 10+ years never had a problem but know I better keep my eye on them a bit better.

Glad it was only one and not the whole lot! That would've been an expensive repair!Quote:
