+1 on using a torque wrench.

I use an electric impact to take my tires off.

I use that electric impact (one SHORT pull of the trigger) to "spin" the nuts on to about hand-tight when installing...but then I put a torque wrench on to torque them correctly.

Wow, I have the spidertrax too never had a stud break and I wheel moderately. I rotate every 3,000 or 5,000 when I get the oil changed.

Note: I got the oil changes included when I bought the jeep so don't give me any crap. It's was cheaper per change than I could do it in my garage.

I got free oil changes the first year. It was my second or third when I smelled burning oil on the way home. They left the oil fill cap off. Just a heads up, check it before you drive off. They usually have the cheapest paid ninkumpoops doing the oil changes.
