never have put a torque wrench on a lug nut before but it would probably be
a good investment to get one.

Karsh,

Invest in a 1/2" drive torque wrench as you will be using it to torque your
lug nuts among other things.

When I mounted my Weston step bars it said to use the front and rear cab
mount bolts. Said something to the effect tightening them back to 65 lbs
torque. Well I don't have a torque wrench. I tightened them as best I
could. Is it really that important to tighten these to that specific
torque?
