This came to a very bright light during out 1st or 2nd national rally in Goshen. Richfaa had just put brand new tires on their rig and his axles slid and stripped the tread off several tires. The following year I was under our rig checking everything and 2 of my u-bolt nuts were 2 threads from falling off, 3 were finger tight. out of the 16 total nuts 3 were at factory specs all others were at varying degrees of loose. I now re-torque all the u-bolts at the start of every season.
Oh yea I forgot about that one it actually ruined 3 of the nearly new tires.
