ask the kids at the local school to sort you some out.

Valve caps can be a very tricky thing to sort out, so good on you for bringing it to the forum mate, your'e a special person.

super glue should sort them out.

Valve cap torque should be 'Too tight for kids to remove' Nm

[KIWI_TERRANO]

Your be into them pink ones that firestone do wouldnt you jase?

[kbushnz]

I think if you use these you will no longer have any problems...
Also the hex design allows you to use 4WDbits recommended torque settings.

I think I might start looking in the supermarket car park that's where I think I might be loosing them, flexing up on the footpath. Thanks grant for your help.

I am going only by the fact you are asking this question, that is it limit the damage done to your passengers nostrils, by the copious amount of shit that emanates from ya truck..... or occupants,
you should be able to get some industrial strength air freshener from Rok, as he appears to have the same issues

dollar value stores $2-$4 for alloy ones and do up tight with 10mm socket

Next time you do a dump on your lawn get a stick and smear it all over the cap that will keep everything but the flys away.

I wouldn't mess around with those mate. You'll end up hurt or endangering other motorists.
Take it to a brofessional.

For that sort of coin you can just about buy a 15 pack of speights. Drink them all and wait. By the morning you should be producing an extremely aromatic fragarence that you (and only you) will find very appealing.

Nice

Get them shiney steel ones, use a liberal amount of locktite, torque em up tight. Never an issue to them not coming off anymore

wow flexing up on a foot path that's awesome did ya build a ramp to get up there first ?

I'd hope so. If you kerb them 32's and break the bead on your 9" wide rims you'll look a bit dumb as you try figure how to remove valve cap to use your onboard air 300cfm compressor to reinflate them...

I thought the brofessionals used copious amounts of compressed lighter fluid?

Fark NO! Thats miles above tightening valve caps.

Walk before you can run Brother!!

I usually tighten then up until they split and then back them off a quarter turn.
