My wheels should be here soon. I dont want my spare tire stolen so I want to know where can I get a spare tire lock? Thx in advance.

 

I've always just used locking lug nuts to secure my spare. On my last Jeep I put three locking lug nuts on the spare--probably a little overkill, but I figured it would deter theives. Are you looking for some other kind of lock here?

 

Thx I'm just looking for any kind of lock to secure it.

 

Seems like one is all you need. Either they have the key or they dont. I'm pretty sure if they do and are willing to take one off to steal your tire they'll take 3 off...

 

WrangerX,

One suggestion I do have in regards to the locking lug nuts--Don't get the Mopar ones. I ordered a set of them and they looked totally ridiculous. They stuck out about a mile. They made them way too long. I sent them back and ordered the set of the splined Gorilla locks. You can get a set of 5 from 4-Wheel Drive Hardware, and I think they're only about $25.00. They look much better than the Mopar ones, plus I like the splined design better.

 

For those JK owners wanting the Gorilla Automotive locking lug with the free spinning sleeve as shown in the pic below you need to order Gorilla lock number 61681 . You can buy the 4 lock set for about $12.99 on eBAY and then you call Gorilla Automotive with the Gorilla registration # and order one lock for the spare tire at a cost of $8.30. Note... the older style splined Gorilla lock is also available BUT does not offer the same level security as the new style Gorilla free spin sleeve lock.

 

Well, I thought that all JKs came with a wheel lock on the spare tire. Guess I was wrong.

 

How exactly does the Gorilla lock work? Is the key they come with the only key that will open them?

 

Yes, you need the key that comes with the set in order to remove the lug(s). Of course, like any lock it can be defeated if the bad guy really works at it.
These are difficult to remove in comparison to the Chrysler lock that you can take a pipe wrench to or hammer a smaller size socket on to if have no key and wish to defeat and remove.

The spinning sleeve on these new style Gorilla locks makes removal without the key far more difficult now.

There is no substitute for insurance!

 

Any sources other than eBay for these? I'm having trouble finding them there. When I go to the Gorilla website they don't list the JK.
