do you allways tighten the wheels on the trucks with a tourqe wrench or do you just tighen it with an air gun?

Always, ALWAYS with a torque wrench  ;)  We only snug them with the air gun using a torque stick, which limits the amount of torque transfered to the nuts.  The sequence we use is to run the lugs all the way down so the wheel sits flush against the hub in a star pattern, snug each lug again for a couple seconds, drop the rig so the wheels touch the ground, torque the lugs with the torque wrench in a star pattern, then double check torque in a circular motion to assure you didn't miss any.  I wonder how many lugs I tighten or loosen in the course of a day  :headscratch:

Oh, and the vast majority of Toyotas torque to 80-85 lbs  :thumbs:
RIP KYOTA

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!
