How many spare tires have gone missing.

[DeRocha]

I once had a dream that I walked outside and my truck was sitting on cinder blocks and had stolen all 4 of my tires. It was funny cause I woke up and was really pissed off for a couple minutes before I realized it was a dream, hehe.

I'm surprised no one has ever stolen my spare, I had it tied onto the top with nothing more than a rachet tie down for about 2 months and no one touched it. I guess they don't feel like going through all the trouble of getting a 33 off the top of the roof.

If you were that into preventing the theft, you could always have a rear tire carrier built and lock it up. Course that'd be pretty expensive, but hey, it'd look cool

Made me remember my brother's trans am. When he left a local club he found the rear on blocks and both rear wheels gone..

I bought 2 winchlock brand locks for $45 including shipping.

How do you like the lock? Is it easy to install? How do you get access to your spare tire with the lock on?

Thanks,

The locks are great. pretty easy to install, but the directions were a little off.

They say to slide it in the space between the cable winch and the crossbeam it's mounted to. Well that is almost imposible so I just had to unbolt the tire winch then put the lock in place and bolt it back on.

To access the lock you have to reach under the truck and unlock it with a key. Then the tire will lower like normal.

If i remeber I'll take some pictures tonight when I get home and post them
