Wheel locks

100 ft/lbs should do it

There are only a few key codes and if he did not get one with the truck they will just hand him a key.

 

Last time I needed them off a used truck that I bought without the key, I didn't even waste my time going to the dealership. Got a few cheap harbor freight sockets, smashed it onto the locked lug nuts with a hammer, took off with a breaker bar, returned sockets for a refund.

Which is exactly why I said i could get any wheel lock off within a minute. If someone wants your wheels they're gone...

That's not correct, I believe it is 140 ft lbs . Check your manual

Why would you remove the locking nut? As long as you keep it in your glove box or somewhere safe you'll have it. Might as well make it somewhat more difficult for an inexperienced thief. I'd leave it on.

It's like gun control, it only makes things more difficult for the honest people.

So? They're already on there. Definitely not easier than non-locking nuts.

Because when you get a flat in the pouring rain and can't find the stupid key you'll be kicking yourself. My truck came with them and I swapped them out. Useless.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, be careful with those stereotypes, haha! We may use Km and L/100 km, and we may speak funny and drink a ton of alcohol, but every one of my torque wrenches is clearly using ft-lbs!

Ryan tell the poor man "Sorry aboot that eh"

[Northside]

I'd rather have them off because in my situation, parking inside not leaving it for long in parking lots, I figure the chances of losing the "key" are greater than someone trying to steal my wheels and tires. Your situation might be different than mine.

Just get normal lug nuts those can be buzzed off in seconds with the right tool
