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

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)
