I know that at Cat, a lot of our engine bolts, and some other critical bolts elsewhere, are torqued to yield. Since you are reaching the yield point of the material, it is necessary to replace them any and every time you remove or loosen them. I'm not sure if commercial vehicle are made the same way... I'd just inspect them for overall deformation, thread deformation, and corrosion. if they look just fine, I'd say keep using them.

Like I said before after every wheeling trip I give it a once over as far as taking bolts out, no that's not what I'm doing, but was curious if anybody else was doing the same.

That's what I kinda figured on the bolts lasting. Was just wondering if I was going overboard checking them after every wheeling trip. :thumbup:

Honestly, it's probably a smart thing to do but, I'm out on the trail way too often to be doing that. I maybe check mine once an oil change and 9 times out of 10, they're all good to go. If you use a paint pen to mark your bolts, checking them can be done pretty fast.
