  1. My truck has those outside splined lugs and locks on it, came with the truck, things are rusted to hell, will be putting nice chrome lugs on with no locks. Locks only slow a thief down, some times that is enough, as they always say, if someone wants something bad enough they will get it.

     

    Even with the wheel lock remoal kit you still have to use a hammer to put the removal socket on so not like it's quiet if someone is trying to steal your wheels.

     

    Just watched a video where some one used a emergency wheel lock removal tool purchased from the auto parts store, thing took the guy like 10 minutes to remove the lock and another 5 to get the lock out of the tool !

     

    Try the dealer, if no help, call around to some tire stores, a good tire store should have the removal set. The removal set uses a socket that is tapered inside, so when you hammer it on the lock it grabs.

  2. Most shops have the wheel lock removal kits, ( I have one here but your not close),

     

    You can try to hit a socket on the lock and try to take the lock off, an impact gun works best but you can probably use a ratchet.

     

    If the locks are McGuard and you have the lock number you can buy a new key.

     

    I would call around to the tire shops and ask if anyone has the removal kit.

  3. If the relay clicks when you flip the switch you know power is going to the relay, if no power at the wires at the lights there could be a break in the wire coming out of the relay or possibly you didn't have a good ground for your test light ( if you were using a test light to check for power).

     

    Check the output at the relay first, if power coming out there is a problem with the wire between the relay and the lights. If no power coming out the relay may be bad.

  4. Talking about winches, I saw a Toyota pickup couple weeks ago at Home dept, it had one of those 1500lb winches bolted directly to the stock Toyota bumper !, Wonder how long that will stay on if used !!

  5. I looked up this part the other day and it was $52.50 from an online Nissan Dealer, list is $72.64

     

    different part numbers depending on the year

     

    up to 1/92 is 73872-01G10

     

    92 and up including some cars and other trucks is 73872-01M05- and is the same price both list and cost.

     

    Have not seen Rob on here lately but you can still call him at his dealer to order. I've ordered a few parts from Rob and everything was always perfect, even got a free Nissan screwdriver with one of my orders !
