Got a picture of a black set installed on a Wildtrak by any chance? (posting in these dueling threads LOL)

I bought McGard black lugs and they work great!

Hey @Minitrucker93 - no worries! Unfortunately, we have not had a Wildtrak in our engineering facility for photography. Our fleet consists of a 2-door Bronco Base (2.3L manual trans) and 4-door Bronco Badlands (2.7L auto). Somewhat the best of both worlds. Having one of each trim is a touch out of the budget .

No need for black nuts....my nuts are covered! (you know what they say about black!)

This was one of the first things I did for my WildTrak.

Set of 24 eh? did you have to buy 6 more for the spare? or 1 single, plus 5 locking?

Edited: I do not have my Bronco yet, but I notice that on the picture on my computer desktop, there are only 3 on the spare.... nevermind.

I did these as well, but I don't really like how much smaller the cone diameter is. Hopefully it doesn't result in higher stress on the wheel in high off-camber situations off road.

Anyone else share this concern, or is it just me?

I bought these and haven't put them on for the same reason. Would appreciate the thoughts from someone who knows more than I do. Doesn't inspire confidence...

The lugs that I bought, that I posted above with the red inserts, are also much smaller, like these ones. They work fine.

I've had them on since I made that post, and haven't had any issues. And honestly anything is probably better than the ticking time bombs that are the factory 2-piece lugs.

Follow up... Obviously the wheels need to be washed (this thing sees a lot of dirt) but for anyone interested here's what the Gorilla lugs look like. You can see the bare metal ring around each lug where the OEM lugs fit snugly. I am not smart enough to know how this might affect the forces on that wheel and the studs, but I installed them yesterday and the wheels haven't fallen off yet.

I mean...yes and no...I've got them on my Wildtrak, but I don't have stock wheels anymore

Just bought these beauties and will be installing them on my Braptor when it arrives next week. Will post some photos.

I went with the set (of 27) from CJ Pony Parts as well, but I did the Spline drive. I figured it would be the minimal deterrent for the unprepared thief - esp the Spare. They look great and have held up well.

On factory Sasquatch wheels?
