Wouldn't be doing my job if I wasn't lol.

Lucky for me, I didn't need to get them all off at the time. We knocked a tire off the rim when wheelin' in my buddies truck.

You know, you can go to Les Schwab and tell them you need a key for your lug lock. If you know the little key number thing they can get you one easy. (You could probably find one online if you knew the #) They might be able to get you one if you take it there? (But I highly doubt they could..)

Id rather use regular lug nuts.


How many crack heads you know that would
A-steal a 200lb+ tire/rim combo
B-has a jack heavy enough to change tires on a 6000lb truck
C-keeps a battery powered impact gun
D-cruises the local mud pits and trails in search of unattended trucks?
E-has 4 other crackhead friends to help carry the 4 tires impact and jack back to their crack lair.

IF they would do all these things Id feel its pretty safe to say they have a pocket full of keys and you'd be driving home on the rotors anyway.

12x1.50s FTW!

ha ha nice one alpha

The keys and special lugs kinda suck. When I first got my wheels and stuff, I had to drive around for two days with a 7 inch lifts and tiny stock wheels while the lug nuts came in... because only one type of lug nut in the world would work. I keep my key duck taped to the inside of my glove box. the key doesnt even look all that beefy if you ask me.

i'm way to lazy to steal 44's. changing 40's at a leasurely pace in my driveway is hard enough. i'd just steal the whole truck and strip it down in my secret crack lair

i've had my truck for 8+ years. the key has only left the ignition maybe 5 times in 8 years. i always leave it unlocked and have never had any problems. my thought is if some one wants something they will get it. if someone wants my stereo, take it. at least if my doors are unlocked there is a better chance they won't break my window to get into the truck. trust me, i was a very bad kid when i was younger. i have experience with vehicle vandalism and theft on both sides of the fence

Kinda sad to say but around here nothing is safe. **********s will steal about anything in the woods. One place we go, I call it the redneck ghetto. If you like your truck and it breaks, you better stay there with it til someone comes with a part or something. If not it won't be there when you get back, or it will be stripped and burned.

You can't go out there without seeing a fight, or hearing gunshots, or having someone pull a gun on someone else whos fighting.......
There is damn good mud though.
