Got me wondering if it was oem equipment and if the thread was the same as the suzuki's.
If so it might make a tiny project for changing the tumbler and onto the spare wheel
Anyone know about these, where they are from blah blah ?

Suzuki, Jeep & Toyota Soft tops with welded seams for SALE (PM me)

I have one on my Bundera, I purchased it new from Toyota when I was building the car in the early 90's.
It could be easily helicoiled to suit a zook (if the zook thread is available as a helicoil insert)

locking nut
just go to your local auto parts shop. I saw one today it fits over any stock nut(up to 20mm long) and takes a key. Cost = $5.75
OME or OEM ??Toecutta wrote:The GV gas a OME lock that fits over the stock nut
OME = Old man emu .. Makers of suspension type stuff
OEM = Original equipment manufacturer .. makers of all types of stuff .

Much easier to knock a stud out of the wheel carrier and, go to yota purchase a wheel stud and pop that in the place of the stud you removed.
If you do install one of those locks keep it well lubricated to ensure it does not rust on there solid .. the brass key does not make that great of a lever to try to make it move.

Most people waling down the street dont have spanners to under the other nuts that are keeping your rubber attatched to your truck either ...Santos wrote:most people dont have an impact wrench when they are waliking down the street, just as likely to have bolt cutters ;?)
Most pleople would not steal your chit even if it was not bolted down .. but there are scumbags out there that when it is time for new rubber ... a set of boltcutters and an impact wrench is way cheaper than new tyres ..
