Spare wheel lock ? (spare stolen)

[Mafioso]

Hi
Some scum bag stole my brand new spare wheel it is the only mod I have done on my new hilux (wheels & tyres). It was a 31”cooper ST & CSA alloy rim close to $500-worth gone. My wife & I went for a bush walk and when I got back to the car I spotted the chain hanging down not a sole around. The insurance company said it’s very common these days with all the new utes .
I did a search but did not find anything on spare wheel locks for the Hilux. Does anybody know of any locks or anyway to secure the spare wheel ?

Joe,

Sorry to hear about your misfortune.

Carryboy has a spare wheel lock as one of my mates has one installed.

Joe,
Also sorry to hear about your misfortune.
I use a simple pad lock through the chain. It will only stop some of the scum out their but at least it is something to stuff them around for a while. If they do not see the pad lock and lower the wheel it gets all tanglled up and is a real bitch to sort out, I know this as one day I forgot about it and had a hard time sorting it. Bugger.
Regards,

i used to use a genuine toyota lock on my 80series
cant remember what it was off...i think it was a bundeera
it was a whell nut thing with a chrome cover that went over it and a key to get it off was very neat

Thanks for all the comments guys.
Jamie great find thanks a lot just what I was after that website rocks.
The guy at Newpro-tech was very helpful those rear wheel locks will do perfect. I went a bit overboard got myself a wheel lock, P&P Turbo timer, & two of those cool light switches & the hole lot fit just like they came from the factory.
I was at ARB on Friday and tried to buy a ARB turbo timer but they had nil stock. So glade now as this newpro-Tech one looks so much better and it was cheaper. The funny thing is I ordered two of those Toyota factory fitting spot/fog light switches but have nothing to connect them to "YET"
Thanks again Jamie that worked out perfect you also helped me big time with a great Turbo timer.
I have loved looking at other people threads with step by step photo's on installing accessories & mods.So when my Spare wheel lock turns up I will try and do a step by step thread with photos if I can work out how to post them on here.

thx
Joe

The lock looks great very hi quality just have to fit it now no hurry though still have no spare wheel.
The P&P turbo timer is outstanding so glade I got this one over the ARB had it fitted in 15mins tops.

that was very quick

[berniecam]

yep, they are only oxygen thiefs.I have boltcutter proof chain & matching padlock with abloy key,has about 12mm links,case hardened its covered in a canvas sheath,fits through crossmember,above spare wheel,once its on if you dont have a key,only way would be an angle grinder,& even the its takes a while,I picked it up at an ag show I think may be motorcycle shops may have them.CHEERS

[k-man]

Does anbody know if these New-Pro locks fit 32's on 16 x 8's??
I'd rather check before finding something doesn't reach.


Cheers

I use the same as berniecam, a very tough motorcycle chain and chubb padlock, over the chassis (tucked under the wires that pass along the top of chassis though) and through a wheel spoke. Padlock hangs inside the wheel, very little chance on them getting a puchase with a cutter of any sort.

If they have an angle grinder and don't mind the risk, then they'll have it i suppose, but its the best solution in England so far.

Our problem seems to be the theft of 'cats', as i often say...''anything bar a days work'' for some of these scum, suppose i'll be getting a plate bolted under the cat soon enough.
