    Yup, I lost mine somehow right after I did my lift. It just vanished in the garage. I think what happened was that I pulled the wrench off the wheel after I tightened it and the lock stayed on the lug nut and I didn't realize it, and then I drove off and lost it somewhere. Anyway, $45 later and overnight shipping from McGuard saved me!

    You know, I think that number is in my head cause I had to pay for next day air. I lifted and lost the key, and 3 days later was my appointment to get my new tires mounted and then the following week was Moab so I wasn't taking any chances!

    I think the key was $14.99 but I paid like $30 for FEDEX next day air.

    Yeah, well, they kinda had my nads in a vice, it was really bad timing for me to loose the lock, with Moab a week away! I had to do it.

    yea i know what you mean, i woulda paid it in your situation probably.. still cheaper than paying someone to get the wheel locks off then buying a new set at the store

    Maybe I'll just order a spare key now, and put it in the garage toolbox. Maybe hide them around the vehicle too...

    I keep mine in the Jackstowage. The stock lug wrench doesn't work with my wheels so I have a separate 1/2" Drive set that I keep in the VX..
