When I bought my Land Cruiser, I got a year or so out of the tires.

I have been going to the same tire place for decades, and they asked for the lock nut thingy…the one in the car wasn’t it.

I drove to the Toyota dealership with a picture of the lock nut key I needed.

They would only sell me one, even though they had one I could have borrowed if they were human.

I bought four lugs and Big Ed drilled out the lock lugs and replaced them.

I live in a rural area so moving on from the locks wasn’t an issue…seems like an odd failure mod if on the road.
