Any of you guys with the 2000 L's have Locking Lug nuts from the factory?

I don't, and I don't believe anyone else does, either. It may have been mentioned in the '99 manual, but I don't think those people got any, and it isn't even mentioned in the '00 manual. Someone else in another post said that Gorilla made a set for the lightning, part #71663, available through Discount Tire, but I e-mailed DT and they said they did not stock that part #. Maybe I got the number wrong; I will call them on the phone tomorrow. I want a full set of 20, don't feature my wheel hanging on by one nut. The nut behind the wheel is sufficient.

Update: called Gorilla this a.m. and verified that the part #is 71663F. Then called Discount Tire and ordered the set. Price has gone up to $50, $55 incl. shipping. They also sell a set of 4 for $20, but this option did not interest me.

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

NO

 

Hey guys,

I have them on order from the dealer. I called McGard and they told me they were not available as an aftermarket purchase---only from dealer. The correct part number is
-- YL3Z1A043BA -- Your Ford parts guy should be able to place the order. They are $35.00 for a set of 4.

alphadoggy is right. Discount tire got mine from Gorilla, special order only. took about 5 days to get. the set of 20 cost about $45.00. I bought mine ASAP for the same reason alphadoggy, did not want wheels to fall off with just one nut left.

 

Hey Guys,
Are the Gorilla locking lug nuts chrome or black? I called 2 Dealers for the McGard ones and they can't get them. (YL3Z-1A043-BA) and I tried the Navigator ones (F85Z-1A043-AA) and would only work with a thick washer behind it.
Thanks in advance
