Got her up to a little over 500 miles. Installed the rock guards, installed the aluminum block lift points. Washed her and took the rear wheels off to clean them inside and out and re-torque them correctly. Some nuts were only at 58 ft-lbs. Put them all to 140. Waiting on the ceramic to come in so I can wash all the wheels again take them off and ceramic coat the inside/outside of the wheels + the car.

That sounds suspiciously low, is everything stock there and the factory or the dealership missed a beat? Or had you removed them earlier and did not torque them down correctly afterwards?

No idea, it was very strange, seems like who ever torqued it last just guesstimated it. I just got a digital torque wrench so maybe it's bad? I don't think so though because the ones that were low were pretty easy to remove, could easily tell they were not right.

The highest one was at 130, most were around 90-100. Lowest was about 58. But yeah, car is stock. I picked it up a few days ago from the dealership with 14 miles on it. Also just checked the fronts and they are all exactly 140, someone at the dealership definitely screwed up. Good thing I had to take the wheels off today.

Yup, you got lucky, but hopefully you won't need that anymore
Call me paranoid, but I always double-check every lug nut, then recheck after 20-30 miles, just to make sure I didn't forget one or two, or stupidly set the torque wrench to a wrong value.

Glad to see I’m not the only paranoid one.

Installed the garage cabinets and worktop that were finally delivered after 2 months. The concrete floor the previous owner poured is so far from level it isn't even funny, but I did the best I could.

Thank you very much, guys
There is another tall locker on the other wall that didn't make it into the frame. It's tricky to do hang stuff on the wall that needs to be level by myself while also holding two tools, so I made a temporary cabinet support to pull it off

My self-purchased Christmas present came in. Closest thing to a 30 lb diet that I’ll ever see.

Already compensating for the seasonal "diet", ha, nice idea

Looks like our kitchens have a very similar layout, btw
