Wheel Locks for JL (Especially the Spare)?

No brainer, knowing that wheel locks, regardless of brand can easily be defeated.

5 wheel locks on each wheel will in fact slow guys like you down a bit, at least.... and make you work for your haul.

Like me? I lost my Gorilla key and that's what the tire shop did (he used the nail trick since the universal "key" was apparently lost). I'd say that it didn't really slow him down much at all. He mentioned that he also had universal sets for other lock types.

Also, depending on where you're parked and where they want to steal your wheels, time may not be an issue at all whatsoever.

Can anyone confirm torque specs on these? I assume that they are the same as the regular lug nuts as outlined in the owners manual (130 ftlbs for the mounted rims and (I forget exactly.... ) something like 50 ftlbs for the spare.

Or, do these have different specs?
