Key Features & Benefits

• Hardened Steel Construction — Built from hardened steel for maximum strength and resistance to the torque demands of off-road use, ensuring your wheels stay securely fastened on any terrain.
• Triple Nickel-Plated Chrome Finish — A premium three-layer nickel-chrome plating process provides long-lasting corrosion resistance and a polished look that complements factory and aftermarket Jeep wheels.

Installation

Installation is a straightforward DIY-friendly process that can typically be completed in under one hour with basic hand tools. All necessary hardware — including the 5 locking lug nuts and the dual hex head security key — is included in the box. Simply replace one standard lug nut per wheel with a locking lug nut using the included key and a 3/4" or 13/16" socket. Torque wheel locks to the same specification as your factory lug nuts (approximately 130 ft-lbs for Jeep Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT). Important: Store the security key in a safe location separate from your vehicle. Do not use an impact wrench at full power during installation to avoid thread damage.
