"Lock" lugs

ApS · 02-26-2020, 10:32 PM

'Just stumbled on one of my eight (maybe more) "locking" lug collection. Pardon Hurricane Irma's rust that obscures the full depth of the "wave" pattern. Although the "wave" appears symmetrical, it is not.

The "wave" pattern in the four provided lugs has a single matching "key"—unique to the set. The key, with its matching wave has to be carefully matched to the lug nut, which then can be put in a wrench to remove the lug nut and tire.

If your car has steel wheels with wheel covers as opposed to fancy-dancy cast aluminum decorative wheels, it will have normal non-locking lug nuts.

Every NH police car has steel wheels with hub caps. There's a reason why the police in NH do not have cast aluminum decorative wheels with locking lug nuts.

You are what you drive. ........

By the way, if you drive with steel wheels then you will probably lose a wheel cover sooner or later, and www.rockauto.com is good for quality original style wheels covers at reasonable price.

And with every purchase, you get a free foam noodle (sorry, no choice of color).

Okay, this question is waaaaay off topic, but it is 'automotive' in nature. Does anyone know how to "delete" an address from the Navigation system of a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee? (other than complete back-spacing erasing)

Try hold the Volume and Browse/Enter buttons for 10 seconds. Doing that is supposed to reset the system.
