think it would be a good idea to get a list of the most common things to come loose on the raptor.

lugnuts
steering stem nut
rear grab bar bolts
heat sheild bolts
axle nuts
flexx bars elasto nuts

Pealer's nuts  :lol:

For me it's been lugnuts, lugnuts, lugnuts, the 2 bolts on the side of the radiator and the skid plate bolts.

Only ever had a problem with #3 on that list.

For the two of you with lugnut issues, try tightening them down first ;)

I have a problem with the left bottom subframe hex head bolt backing out, about one thread per month, moving or not.

i use a TQ wrench on my lug nuts (35ft/lbs), mine prob came loose cause i was using taperd adapters and the fancy flat ITP lugnuts, so it wasnt threaded on the stud enough im guessing.

i try not to over tighten cause i have a bad habit of snapping/stripping bolts/nuts......

we should make a numbered list (#1 being most common to come loose)
