Fortuner Spare Tire Thefts

[chorizo]

Hi guys just a friendly warning.

2 hours ago my office mate found out the spare tire of her fortuner was missing. Her driver called her up when he discovered it and she went ballistic. We had a good laugh about it because it seemed silly. When I got home I thought what the heck and dipped my head under the rear of my fortuner. F*CK IT WAS MISSING TOO!

We both park in a secured office building at the corner of herrera and ayala. We still haven't established the exact date we lost the tires and we are not certain if it did occur in the building. My car has been in the garage since sunday coz my family and I flew to boracay. I only drove it to work today, Greenbelt 2 car park for lunch and Mandarin Hotel for cocktails. My wife only recalls taking the car to Shang mall, megamall and greenhills during the past week. I know our tires are covered by the insurance but to save ourselves the hassle in the future I advice everyone to get a decent lock for the spare tires.

Thats all folks.

BTW, the chains are in one piece and so is the bracket. I don't know how they did it but they did. HASSLE!

Ang pathetic talaga ng ibang tao, pati sparetire tinitira.

The first thing police should've done is to look out for shops selling sparetires. For sure naman, dun babagsak ang mga yan e.

Mukhang target ang mga Fortuners lately ah.

A recent post in GT also reported a Fortuner's spare tire stolen, suspected while it was left parked for around 3hrs, at the parking lot of SM Southmall in the afternoon of April 24th.

Mga pre, saan po ba nakalagay ang spare tires ng Fortunner? Di kaya tinira ito nung pinapaservice ninyo ito sa CASA or sa favorite ninyong talyer? Nangyayari iyon mga pards.

Sa ilalim.

[oldblue]

madali kasi kuhanin ang spare tire ng fortuner, sobra taas eh.

i guess that's the disadvantage of a car with very high ground clearance

I suppose 4x4 pickups are also targets.

Oo nga baka sa casa/talyer nga tinira ito. Imposible namang sa guarded parking lot/space dinale ito. Sa laki nu'ng gulong at sa hirap baklasin ito, imposibleng di mapansin ng ibang tao ito.

If you saw someone taking out the spare tire from an SUV you don't know sisitahin mo ba? Probably not, you'd just think he was out to change the tire.

Malamang tatabihan lang nila yung victim car, labas pa ng jack or whatever pang-props, take the tire and then load it onto their vehicle. Nobody would know better, unless the owner himself catches the thieves in the act.

At least in my case, I stil have to bring my car in to the CASA for its 20K PMS. The last time my car saw the CASA was months ago. Its been home-office-malls(ortigas and makati) only for me the last two weeks. I personally washed the car three weeks ago and I still saw it there.

Tsong kahit sa mga bulok na rim ng trak tinitirA similar ang pwesto with fortuner.

Mas discreet pa nga yang sa ilalim mas nakawin

I'm sorry to hear what happened.

The spare tire lock was the first accessory I bought for my unit. I hope it's enough to deter theives.

Being the usual paranoid....may balita ba na nakukuha parin with a spare tire lock?

Mine is like this:

[huangyenhao]

thanks for sharing the pic.

but it seems difficult to install

and very troublesome to unlock.

how much is the lock anyway?

Pina-install ko sa vulcanizing shop sa tabi-tabi. P50.00 ang binigay ko for the service.

The lock-brace is clamped to chassis. Just make sure you have the nuts installed in the proper order. Medyo bobo ang mga installers ko, so I've to tell them what to do pa.

Banawe...Gold Cars or Gold Rich. I don't remember na. About P1,300.00 last year pa ito.
BTW, when you buy, don't say it for a Fortuner. Sabihin mo pang Innova. Tatagain ka pag sinabi mo para sa Fortuner.

Innova, Fortuner, Hilux.....iisa lang ang lock.

I haven't heard of someone's spare tire with the tire lock engaged stolen except those with chain and a simple padlock. The latter can be easily opened and eventually taking the spare is just a piece of cake. The spare tire lock I bought from the casa looks like this:

I always knew Toyota sell these locks, pero mahina kasi mag sales talk yung SA ko, tuloy bumili ako ng lock sa Banawe...mas mura pa.

Siguro intentional yung mahinang sales talk, para bumili tayo sa kanila kapag nawala. More sales! Spare tire + lock!

[Marc MD]

ah so meron din sa casa? magkano kaya? tamang tama i'm gonna schedule for the 1000km change oil..

See what I mean? Hindi mo alam na meron pala silang lock. Sobra hina talaga ng marketing talk nila.

Anyway the lock is P3,034.00/set. Prices should be the same for all Toyota dealers.

The one I bought at TDC was P2979.17.


Should be closely the same with other Toyota dealers.
