I take delivery of my 2012 Saraha by Fri. Is there a lock on the spare tire and if not what do you use?

Mine came with 5 locks. Like most, I probably paid somewhere for them.

I bought a set of four from Auto Zone and don't know why there wasn't five. The size for mine was 1/2-20. I only used one on the bottom of the spare and keep the rest along with the key in the floor compartment with the lug wrench and jack. The key wrench code is written down and inside the glove box.
Don't remember the brand for them, but they had a whole array to choose from and the price was right or I would have looked elsewhere.

I notice everyone is putting the lug lock in their glove box. I was told by a friend that is a Sheriff to never put the locks in there. Apparently wheel theives know this and break a window, get the lock and can then steal the wheels. I had never though of this, but I guess it makes the theives job a little easier.

I have a first aid kit in my car and the lock is in that, in the trunk. I haven't received my Jeep yet so not sure where I will put it. My current Wrangler has it velcro tied under the passenger seat.

Just something to think about :)

Mcgard part number?

First post here. Just bought a 2012 JKU for my daughter. What a lucky girl !!!

Does anyone have the Mcgard part number for the 5-pack for 2012 Wrangler Unlimited? I tried the Amazon link above, and went through Amazon's "Find parts that fit your vehicle" menus and it says they do NOT fit. Can anyone confirm that the 24538 fit the 2012 Wrangler? I have the aluminum 17" wheels.

Dealer put 4 wheel locks on the ground, and not one on the spare. I don't want to have to keys, so I'm looking for a 5-pack and don't want to spend $50 at the dealer.

Thanks!
Robert

I don't know about the McGard's, but here's a link to the Mopar wheel locks on Amazon.

These will only fit stock wheels, by the way.

Just make sure, whatever you buy, they're 1/2x20 lug nuts.
