I have those same lug nuts on mine and they are good quality!

J did you have to break up the cover on the nuts? Mine were destroyed and I just hammered a socket into them and was able to back them all out without much trouble.

"I have the same they are good quality.... were destroyed....just hammered a socket into them...without much trouble" ???????



Seriously gooooood quality lol

I think he is saying the replacements linked on Amazon are good quality. And the other is his issues with the OEM Ford ones

Id rather be dead than feel like I do right now. Terrible. My dads buddy is sick as well apparently. Definitely will be making a call to the place.

If you're thinking it's anything bacterial, get your doctor to give you Nifuroxazide (american brand name Ambatrol i think?)... treats anything from salmonella to (allegedly) bubonic plague.

I once literally spent 2 or 3 weeks crawling from the couch to the crapper and back while abroad, finally went to a nice modern looking cash-money-upfront, no government insurance ******** accepted clinic....doc prescribed me that and some electrolytes, said it nukes pretty much any bacteria that don't belong.... half a day later, felt like a human being. Next day, like new.


Now keep a stash in my desk and a blister pack in my glovebox. WORKS.

Doesn't nuke your gut flora, neither.

Has always been an essential must-have for 3rd world countries....and now that we're turning into yet another 3rd world place with 3rd world problems, it's a must have here in America too.

Recently had to use some after meeting some friends at Shakey's Pizza where BOTH pizza bingers and no-thanks-I'll-have-a-salad types ended up with explosive diarrhea...felt atrocious for 3 days, remembered this stuff on day 4, and was fine a few hours later

Ah

That would make sense

Duh... ;)

But about a month isn't nearly enough time to tell for sure but someone saying they rusted in 2 months was why I spoke up. Obviously I'll keep my eye on them and report back is I notice any issues.

By sheer coincidence, the very next day after reading this, I met with the very shear-off lug nuts described herein when procuring some used alloys (SSV steelies use a far more durable acorn design)


Ended up buying these cheapie pseudo-wheel-locks, got two sets black and chrome cuz I wasnt sure - prolly gonna return the black, kinda like the chrome with blacked out wheels... NOTE: black held up OK to being impacted on and off though, I just like the chrome a bit more

...or is it bad karma to return a product you've used an impact on, even if it looks fine?

I do have the set I took off my 05, that look like new and that I am planning to sell at a significantly reduced price. If you are interested, PM me and I'll send you pictures.

Hey all, just wanted to give a huge shout-out to @ExpeditionAndy ! I bought these used lug nuts from him. They arrived yesterday, and look even better than the pictures he sent me of them! He also threw in a small surprise, which is also greatly appreciated. Andy was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish.
Thanks again Andy!
