When they said there were "no stupid questions", they didn't know I'd buy a Jeep. First what is the purpose of the one gold lug?
Second, what is the little black dome by the rear view?

The one gold lug is nothing special, its a regular lug nut that the chrome cover came off. Not sure of the black ball is.

The lug is either new or the little cover came off.

Thanks, I noticed several XJ's at the jy with the odd nut, only one and only on one wheel, Thought it might be intentional, but couldn't figure what for. I took the cover off the dome, saw the wires, keept thinking temp, or auto dim mirror, never thought of keyless. I don't have the orig key, I'll read up on the "key fob". I remember seeing some posts on that.

My key fob stopped working. Changed the batteries, still doesn't work. Stealership wanted some ridiculous cash for a replacement, so I used the key for about a week and then stopped locking my doors. Several months and no trouble yet in Maryland or in DC lol

I read on here that eBay fobs don't work unless it's reprogrammed by a dealer. Didn't wanna pay that, either. To some people, I'm sure it's worth it. For me, it isn't.

the black dome is a government spy camera, don't let them fool you about keyless entry.
its for keyless entry, and on some newer non jeep vehicles they use a similer dome on the dash for day time driving lights. odd

X2 on the keyless entry
From your rims I can tell you have the country package, most of them came with locking lugs. Maybe that's what it is? Can't be sure from the picture
