LandSpeeder · Jul 7, 2015

Does anyone make long lug nuts?! As in 2" or longer... I need 12x1.5 for the Trail Ready Beadlock wheels... but dang them things are DEEP. I would like to see the lugs nuts poking out like a belly button. That way I don't hafta have a dang thin=walled flip socket just to undo a dang lug

LOL at the DEEZ link!

I have zero clue what degree. I asked that too to a few folks, but I have blank stares... over the phone...

I don't know if you meant 12x1.5 or 14x1.5 but I have some that are 14x1.5 that wouldn't work on my SD axles because they're too short.

I run the same wheel and I use a complete set of spline drive 1.5". I do have to carry a spline drive socket in my tool bag but what's the difference between carrying a different size or style?

Lemme know if you want details and/or pics

Check out Gorilla lug nuts. Summit Racing carries them and will have what you need. RTR

Check the Dorman catalog. Should be able to find what you need in there. Just take the Dorman number to any parts store.

Looks like 611-286 is a 12mm-1.50, 60* conical seat, 2.492" long.

Those dang spline drive lugs are what was on the rig when I got it. But never on these wheels, these are new to me. I HATE those lugs, cause you have to have the damned tool at all times... suppose I'll keep using them. DANG IT.

I'm at work, so I'm sure it's the company network. It's a multi-billion dollar company, but our network sucks ass!

Lug nuts seem to be insanely expensive though, and I really don't understand why.

Don't use that spline drive ****,

Just get some 3/4 hex lug nuts and a chrome 6 point 3/4 deep well socket to use on your impact gun/breaker bar.

That way you can always at least find a tool to take it off if need be on the trail or whatever.

$21 for 24 lug nuts.

I went through the same thing with the wheels on my chevy.

Oh, and those Dorman lug nuts are the shitty ones with the sheetmetal cap on them. I would highly suggest NOT using them

LandSpeeder · Jul 8, 2015

Yeah, I been scourin eBay for some... so I'll prolly get some off there. Suppose I need to knut up and buy a dang flip-socket.

TBItoy · Jul 8, 2015

If you wanted to spend a bit more and get the fancy extended ones with knurled tops so they are easier to thread on by hand, they are $72

I like these kind, but I don't like spending $72 on lug nuts.

LandSpeeder · Jul 8, 2015

I saw those, and I too do not like spending 72 doll hairs on lug nuts. I mean, if they danced around, I'd be willing to throw 72 ones at'em... but I don't see'em dancin...
