    So the strangest thing happened to me just now. I'm washing my wife's car, when all of a sudden I hear something hit the ground next to me. Thought it was a rock, but when picked it up, it was a piece of the TRD locking lug from my wheel... I didn't even touch the truck or anything, it just broke and fell off on its own!!!

    Anyways, how will I be able to remove this lug now? And where can I buy a single locking lug, or even just a single regular lug for my wheels? Any help would be appreciated.....

    There are several different ways to do this. This will get you started. Good luck. (fwiw this happened to me on my four wheeler. I drilled out the lug with a drill bit slightly smaller than the lug. took wheel off. tapped out the old lug, tapped a new one in.)

    I removed a friends broken lug nut by welding a nut onto the end of it. You could also try hammering a slightly too small socket onto it.
