My 1st 5 tire rotation

@Fast&Furious - WOW! I worked with very specific WP's (Weapons Procedures) written for working on/around nucweps in the Navy. You would have done us proud!!

Found the nuke... keel haul him

Did 5-tire rotation for the 3rd time. Same procedure. Easier with the Flex head 50-250 torque wrench. Still had to lift up the spare with floor Jack to same my back.

Okay, I admit that until watching this video I’ve never thought about the backup camera could be damaged when putting back the spare tire after rotation. It’s certainly something I’ll be careful next time, maybe cover the camera by taping a small piece of foam?

Would the tire shop or dealership damage the camera accidentally? Very possible. Another reason to do it myself.

My Tereflex tire carrier and tailgate reinforcement includes an aluminum camera housing. The first time I tried very hard not to scratch it but now I just throw the tire up there and let it sit on the aluminum for a second while I line up the stud holes.

How often do you balance your wheels? Every rotation? Every other rotation? Does Mud Terrain vs. All Terrain make a difference in balancing frequency?

Truth to be told, 15K

Truth to be told, 15K miles so far, 3 times of rotations, never balanced the wheels.

4th time 5-tire rotation. Brushed off some rust too. Anyone know why the rear wheel hubs have so much more rush than front? The front ones are still very clean.

Been a while, just did the 5th time tire rotation at 24K. Nothing new but all good. The front wheel hubs still look very clean and new. The rear ones with the rust look no worse.
