So update from the last days:

I did purchase a 10USD die and rethreaded the stud, thought I'd give it a try. The final thread did look good, yo I put it back in and used double nuts on the backside. It was good for about 200ftlbs, but when I tried to tighten it further I began to pull it back out of the hub again. So I'll leave it as it is now and go driving, luckily the other lugnuts could be tightened to about 380ftlbs. One more sticks out a little further than the others, so my guess is that it'll break next. I probably won't have enough time in the next weeks to work much on the coach, so it'll have to hold up the way it is now.

Will go for a testdrive tomorrow, hopefully the brakes will work as expected now!!

Thanks for all your support,
Matt

It'll probably take us another week to come down to Yuma, about to hit Grand Canyon first, still waiting for some orders to arrive up here in Kingman!

And here's the bad news from finditparts.com:

Hey Bruce, Chris and Tammy (gracerace) I'll bring them up in our Jeep when they get here.They don't have a toad.They are going to park in front of our lot, unless they decide to dry camp. I haven't see your coach. We are at the top 52 nd dr. Dennis and Tammy are 5 lots down.We are around most the time. 3-4 other FT flat noses around the hood
I'll venture out and look for you.We stayed up there a night when got here. Just got our permit to go there today. There is a Jeep club every wed. at 8 or 9 am at the south end of Foothills. Not going this week,but the next 2. They are not hard core. But you need your permit.
Cheers
