If I feel or hear something out of the ordinary or I had removed something for one reason or another I will recheck the torque a few times after trips. Other than that I don't normally check.

Jeeps have a funny little way to tell you when you've waited too long. LOL. If you or anyone else has touched any bolts on your jeep, torque wrench is your best friend.

I don't trust anyone. Just recently took mine to discount tire for balance and rotation.....got home and double checked my lugs.....they only had them on at about 60 ft lbs! Nice. I've never had that problem there before, but goes to show.....always check things yourself....especially if someone else touched it.

Usually during oil changes and after wheeling trips. There is always the rule of thumb for after disassembly and reassembly which basically puts me checking torque about once a month....might be overkill but I would rather be safe
