Default 08 Rubicon - Wheel Lock (SiZE?)

I have an 08 Rubicon and want to put a wheel lock on the spare. But I am unable to find the thread size/info to purchase them. Any help/info would be appreciated. Also any alternatives to wheel locks?

Thanks and Best Regards

1/2-20




Places like Northridge, Quadratec, and 4WD carry them, just give them a call and let them know what you want

I bought these right at the stealership for a fair price, they are McGard. Gorilla also make them.

Default Wheel Locks 1/2 X 20

YOU CAN ALSO BUY LOCKS AT ADVANCE AUTO PARTS, ( AND OTHER PLACES LIKE THAT), FOR $9.95 FOR FOUR. I USED THE ONE OFF MY YJ FOR MY JK SPARE SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER SET. IN '95 MY YJ HAD A SPARE TIRE LOCKING LUG NUT STANDARD. GEE WHIZ- THE GOOD OLD DAYS!!!LOL

I've had a bad experience with the MOPAR locks breaking when I went to change a flat. They were the ones that have a solid ring around the outside that the key fits into. Won't ever buy them again!

I've had great experience with Gorilla locks on my YJ wheeling rig, so I put a set of those on my new Rubicon and the wife's KJ as well!

Just my 2 cents on the topic!
