Default Wheel locks

I just realized my brand new sahara didn't come with any wheel locks. What kind are you guys using? I don't know if I should get the mopar, save some money and get the mcgard (which Ive read they make the ones for mopar) or use gorilla locks that have locks for each lug nut?

I bought the McGard only because they came in a set of five for about $20.00. I really don't think that one brand is any better than another. Any decent thief will have any of them off in just a few minutes. But they might deter the amateur.

I'm on my phone and don't know how to link from here. But if you go to Amazon and search for McGard 24538 it comes up at $21.99.

I got these for less than $20.00 from Quadratec


I like this style way more than the McGard stuff.

Default spare

Mine came w/locks, else I'd just lock the spare. If they have the tools to jack up a lifted jeep on 35s, they have the tools to remove the wheel locks...

a cordless (battery) impact wrench + some throw away sockets = removed in seconds.
