Wheel lug nut torque values

[SidneyCanada]

Anyone know what the standard torque value should be when torquing wheel lugnuts on 2nd generation Toyota 4-Runners (1990-95) and 5th generation Toyota pickups (1989-95)? also since I will be using a 12" (I think) extension bar on my 1/2" drive torque wrench would that affect values?, thanks.

No, an extension to the socket which displaces the wrench from the socket without changing the lever arm does not change the torque value. A crow's foot, which will change the lever arm if in-line with the torque wrench shaft, will change the torque to dial in to the wrench. To maintain the correct dial-in with a crow's foot, the crow's foot has to be used so that it is perpendicular to the torque wrench shaft, thus not changing the lever arm.
