Default Locking lug nuts

What 's a good brand of locking lug nuts? I tried to get Gorilla but they don't have Jeep listed on their website.

Gorilla Automotive...

I got part # 91783 which is 4 locks and 16 chrome lug nuts. I then order another set of lugs nuts part # 91187 for the spare tire.

After I received them I ordered spare "key" and another "lock" (for the spare) directly from Gorilla.

I replaced all of the lugs nuts for two reasons. One reason is so all the lug nuts and the lock keys will take a 13/16 inch lug wrench. The stock lugs nuts are 3/4 inch. Also the stock lug nuts are two-parts and after a while when the outer chrome cap comes off one, the underlying nut is a different size and you can no longer use the same lug wrench... really sucks when your on a trail when this happens!

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.
