Spare tire "key"

[stfitts]

I noticed the other day that the third lug had a weird end to it....Did some research and found out some locking key is supposed to come with the jeep. Ofcourse I have no key. I have looked in the glovebox and the jack under the backseat to no luck. The dealer has no record of it either. So I am at a lose. Anyone know where we can get another? Can you remove it somehow and replace with a lug?

There is only a handful of combinations for that key. You will need to get the dealership to try a few keys. I don't think your screwed, but this may begin to be a PITA.

Someone just told me you can find locking lugnuts at like autozone and stuff, how many dif patterns are there?

If the dealer will not provide you with the key, then get some plain lugnuts (5) go to the dealer and have them remove all 5 of you locks.
replace them with the plain lugnuts.

If all 5 of your locks respond from the same key, then all you need to do is obtain a key from Jeep.

If you want to tell the dealer you're gonna rip him at corporate and see if that gets them motivated to help you out.

I'm not 100% but im pretty positive that the dealer HAS to give you a key for it. Because god forbid you get stuck somewhere you are unable to get to your spare. I know when my father bought his durango it was used and didnt come with a JACK and by law he had to have the jack. like i said im not sure if this is the same thing but still im pretty positive they HAVE to give you a key or replace the lugs that are there.

OEM Mopar locking lugs are made by McGard and the registration card gets sent to them, as well. Pep Boys sells McGard locking lugs, and for less than Mopars, too.
