Lol so you understand. I would suggest the v line polishing kit that the chemical guys has. Also, just to give you a warning, it will take an entire day to polish, ceramic, glaze and seal. I’m going to take a few hours a day for a few days.

I've heard good things about anything Chemical Guys makes so I'll be sure to try it out, thanks!

No problem, I just switched completely to Chemical Guys and won’t look back.

Finally finished polishing, ceramic coating, glazing and sealing the Jeep! It turned out amazing! Took me probably 10ish hours over 3 days. I wish I took a before picture outside.

every penny that I wanted to put aside for the install has been spent elsewhere. Now, I also bought a drag link flip kit this morning to have install at the same time

My brother-in-law borrowed the Jeep for a date night in Big Sky tonight. He called me and told me a tire went rolling away 
I thought he was lying at first… he told me to just drive a minute down the road and you’ll see. He wasn’t lying!
What I’ve learned is to always check that tires are torqued after being at the tire shop…

I think they were loose. It’s been a while since it’s been at the tire shop because I didn’t drive the Jeep almost at all in months. The past week or so it’s been getting driven a lot.
My wife asked if this would’ve happened if we had 8 lugs instead of 5

Starting with the next invoice that comes in, we will start stashing away money for some axles

Thanks, everyone was okay and luckily it’s not a highly trafficked road.

Yeah, that’s scary stuff. I’ve seen that happen with two friends too, luckily I learned through their experience.My brother-in-law borrowed the Jeep for a date night in Big Sky tonight. He called me and told me a tire went rolling away

wow, those studs show signs of being overtightened enough to crush/strip the threads that would allow them to come loose.My brother-in-law borrowed the Jeep for a date night in Big Sky tonight. He called me and told me a tire went rolling away

I over torqued the lug nuts on my JK when I used my new Milwaukee 1/2" impact for the first time and that's what the threads looked like.

That could be from the wheel falling off.
