Ok here's the run, very very very short. Didn't take that wheel nut long to come undone ?‍♂️?

And, for the time being while I wait to order the nut (nobody anywhere around here has a nut like that), I rethreaded a old purple front hub to accept a big ass nut I had that was the wrong thread pitch (don't have a tape that big, so I did "some things" ?)
And lastly is this a good idea? It's to keep grass off the header (so if doesn't set in fire)

I just watched the vid. You lost the nut on the last straight run. I'll be willing to bet it's actually in the dirt on the baseball diamond. Take another go at searching it out there. I bet you find it this time. Also look in the spot where you got hit in the face. Might not have been a rock.

Definitely was a rock (was round and very small) , but I'll check it out and see if I can find it again. I checked the tracks it left when it was turning and I couldn't find it over there. I think ur right it might be in the dirt area

Iv had nuts come off mid run and found it????
In this vid (altough edited out) I mentioned how losing the wheel nut was the only fail? but I spent 10-15mins and I found it??

I spent like 8 mims looking but then it started pouring rain so I went back to the car. Probably wasn't thorough enough

Ace Hardware is the bomb for single bolts and nuts, etc. See if you have one of those nearby.

Love Ace, TruValue is awsome too. They have exactly 1 of everything.?

I dunno how you guys find wheel nuts. Ive never found one, and lost at least 5 in my own yard.? might be new glasses time? wonder if I should be driving? and why long blonde hair is in my trucks grill? ah well, off to work?‍♂️?
 
Sound like your true value is about 1000x better then my local one. They have one of everything but what you need. And 47 employees to let you know that "we don't carry that anymore"
 
Good run today, at the end the steering link backed off (just unscrewed, no breakage) but I still ran it,did about 20-25 mins ??

Think my filming skills are improving
The shocks are far too soft for off road I'm gunna put thicker oil in it. Probably 50-55 weight. Got 40 in it atm
