Advanced Wheel Locks

After doing quite a bit of research, these appear to be the best on the market imo
No way to grab them with a socket. That gator grip socket can't grab it. Wheel lock removal kits can't get them off.
Great design. Small company. I ordered the extra key in case the company disappears one day.
My only gripe, is that the key is sized at 3/4, instead of 21mm or 13/16 like the tacoma OEM lugs. Probably just an oversight due to the company being so small and new.

 

Where did you get this from? I want one!!!

I was one of the many preorders that waited and waited while new orders where fulfilled. Supposedly she is getting another shipment in soon.

Awesome, thanks. Are you running spacers or no?

 

No spacers. My wheels have -12 offset so they stick out past the fender about ~1 inch. the rear apparently has a spacer but I'm not too sure, and the front is lifted with the fox coilovers

 

Sand harbor!!

 

I de-badged yesterday (forgot to post), and got OVTuned today by a local tuner.

Next up is removing the stock TRD OR decals from the bed and replacing with matte black decals (no red).

 

Thank you

 

Buddy, you supposed to drink a beer or something when it's raining not installing accessories. Shows determination!

 

not 21 yet

 

Ahh, in Alberta 18 is good enough , some years ago when I went to visit my home country (Romania) my wife's little brother came along. When we boarded a plane from Toronto to Vienna I was having scotch shots...the guy is like 17. He asked me if he can have a shot...I said sure, if they would serve you...sure enough the European age drinking laws are different and he had a shot of scotch !...so I wasn't drinking alone.

 

I lived in Kings Beach for 6 years. Loved it but if you didn't own the business you were the welp making $6/hr. And 3 guys for every girl made dating hard lol, cry.

 

Haha yep! Plus the fact that you have to park 4 miles down from any access cause of how overcrowded it’s gotten! I lived on mt rose highway near Thomas creek for a long time before getting out of there lol

 

I was able to rework the arm on the automatic tailgate lock mod that I did this weekend. It now allows the lock to fully lock/unlock.

Here's the side-by-side comparison of the arms that come from the actuator and attaches to the locking mechanism. New on left, old on right.


Functionality:


Unfortunately the new design wouldn't fit under the metal part of the mechanism (which was holding it in place). The OEM auto lock uses a locking washer, so I used a washer and added an internal locking washer that I already had (used a dremel to fit).

Final Product:

 

I’d take a Jersey winter over a San Francisco summer

 

Use black vinyl tape!

 

I did the same thing when I got my truck. My neighbor quickly followed.
