The dealer installed gorillas on mine. They install them on all the Jeeps in the lot to make the wheels tougher to steal. He said people were stealing all the wheels off the inventory. I did have to order a matching one for the spare however. I guess they don't worry too much about that getting stolen. My wheels were the black Moabs though, only ones on the lot. So they wouldn't be able to make a set from spares. The ones with stock wheels may have had locks on the spares. I don't know.

I was about to use Gorilla wheels locks, but the advisor at the alignment shop highly suggest using McGards. I went with the McGards and never investigated why he was opposed to Gorillas, but i haven't had any issues with my McGards.

Thanks all. I got some McGards on amazon. I should be getting them in a day or two. I could have gotten some from the dealership but I didn't want to bug my friend (fleet manager). I thought about the gorillas and getting the 26 piece kit. I think he recommnded McGard bc its what mopar uses.

Anyone know of bolt locks used along windshields for light bar security?

I've used bolt locks for receiving hitches and think they're extremely well made and a pretty good theft deterrent. Didn't know they were making smaller locks for light bars but might have to check it out when I load my rig up with lights.
