I can't believe your nuts are coming loose ... OMG what are you doing - maybe taking it off-road??
Every month (mainly before a trip) i go underneath and just do up all the essential nuts!
I also change the engine oil and Diffs/Transfer-Box and Gearbox Oils every 6-9months.
It's bit like 'why' do get through wheel bearings - maybe it has something to with off-roading?
Luckily you found a lose nut as opposed to a Radius Arm falling off whilst you were driving!!
