Silly me...I thought I would remove the lug nuts with a breaker bar and cheater pipe.

One of the first things a guy NEEDS to do whenever he buys ANY
vehicle is to remove ALL the lug nuts, and dab a little bit of
grease on JUST the bolt threads and torque them all down to SPEC.

Additionally mandatory tire tools on your truck needs to include
three cheater extensions, all that telescope into each other and
as long as you side box is. They WILL save your azz in more ways
than one...

So you have the BII socket and the solid bar for it, now get 3
pipes that telescope that fit over that bar. VERY cheap insurance.

I HATE calling for HELP!

Artisan don't rely on that BII socket to keep you from calling for help, they have not worked and or broken on me so many times I don't use them anymore and I own several brand new ones. The bars that come with them will bend if used with a 2-3' cheater bar much less a 6-8' bar. I do agree with you about removing and anti-seize the lugs then proper torque.
