Thanks again, Goose and Camper Bob, my stainless steel Gorilla Lugs are mounted and lookin' good. They're advertized as the last lugs you'll have to buy--We'll see. Hope so! The size, #61188, is a good fit. The Gorilla #61187 are the same sized lugs in a 4 pack. I was lucky enough to get some Amazon (used/returned but perfect) ones for $3.00 each pack-regular $13.82 each pack.]]> Mon, 02 Apr 2012 17:51:37 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2455&PID=23350#23350 Lug Nut Size : Your welcome.

OK.  I called FR and they confirmed that on my HRE edition I would be getting a Lippert axle.  However FR was concerned that replacing the lug nuts might invalidate the warranty from Lippert.  Next call was to Lippert and they were not concerned at all about changing lug nuts.  Then called Gorilla Lug Nuts in L.A. and they recommended a 61188 part number. They are SS and have a lifetime warranty. Their retail price is about 3.58 per nut.  Went to Amazon and they don't seem to have the 61188.  Then Googled the number and was able to purchase them from Brandsport.com for $2.53 each.    There, you have it.  Hope that helps.  ]]> Fri, 30 Mar 2012 00:11:23 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2455&PID=23274#23274 Lug Nut Size : I'd like to add...that an... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2455&PID=23269#23269 Author: Footslogger03

I'd like to add     ...that an "impact" socket is the best way to go. It is a 12 point socket and makes a more secure lock on the lug nut.

    Sorry that I did not think of this earlier, I just went out and pulled up the cover to get into the sidebox where I have a package of locking lug nuts. The size is " 1/2-20, tapered seat ".  1/2 inch stud with a standard thread count of 20 threads per inch and a tapered seat.  Make sure that you do not pick up a mm size for foreign cars.
  Why I have locking lug nuts (one on each wheel) is another story.
  I would not think that there would be any difference in size between the Dexter or Lippert axles. I do have a Dexter.    Goose

When I took delivery of my Pod, I took both wheels over to a tire shop and had them both dynamically balanced.  Shop said that they definitely needed balancing.  So I recommend having your wheels checked.  It may save you having to replace the tires too soon.]]> Wed, 28 Mar 2012 13:55:22 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2455&PID=23252#23252 Lug Nut Size : 5 lug nuts per wheel. https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2455&PID=23251#23251 Author: Goose

Haven't taken delivery or ours yet, however replacing the lug nuts with SS ones makes sense.  How many per wheel?  Someone had suggested having the wheels balanced and the air stems replaced with SS also.  Seems like thats the time to replace the original ones.  Thanks in advance for your help.  Good Camping.]]> Wed, 28 Mar 2012 10:34:42 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2455&PID=23249#23249 Lug Nut Size : 13/16 on the outside, same as... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2455&PID=23162#23162 Author: dsmiths

13/16 on the outside, same as Ford, I think the rim is a Ford pattern, just take one lug nut off and go to , fill in the blank. Autozone, Oreilly, Sears. The stainless steel is a good idea, I saw some rust on one of my lugs today during recheck torque, it's only 6 months old.]]> Sat, 24 Mar 2012 20:31:09 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2455&PID=23162#23162 Lug Nut Size : Hey, spring is coming, and... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2455&PID=23154#23154 Author: Kickstart

Hey, spring is coming, and it's time to clean up the Pod.  I live by the sea and  have a few rusting lug nuts. Does anyone know the size and thread size I will need to buy? I think I'll try stainless steel ones if available for the Pod.]]> Sat, 24 Mar 2012 15:54:43 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2455&PID=23154#23154
