Ninakaw spare tire nung strada nung kuya ko. nasuggest ko tuloy na bumili sya nung lock nakita ko sa autosport megamall noon:

Solex spare tire lock for Pickups

sino na nakagamit ng ganito? effective ba? P760.00 sa megamall solex brand. Meron sa Carry boy same type of lock pero sobra mahal 1.7k daw

Welcome to the club.

I also experienced that before.

I'm now using a SOLEX hard lock and Master Lock steel cable (plastic coated)... good combo.

You can check them out at the locks section of an MC Home Depot. Set aside around P1K that.

Kadena at all-weather padlock lang yung kinabit sa amin. Both on van and pickup.

Nakaloop sa chassis yung isang end ng kadena pati sa tire mount damay na rin.

I use two bike locks (yale, master) and placed a plastic bag on the locks to protect in from dust and water. It would be more difficult when I need to used it and the locks won't open

Yep, hindi kasing-mahal pero effective. Been using these eversince nung kasikatan pa ng L300 van.

Coveran na lang ng tape yung keyhole ng padlock para hindi pasukan ng putik. At regular spray ng WD40.

Thanks for the added suggestion guys.

Sa pangasinan nangyari yung incident. langhiya uso na rin nakawan ng spare tire dun pati side mirror daw.

magaling yung nagnakaw baka may strada din kase yung spare ng strada diba meron pa yung parang rod na tool pantanggal ng spare.
Sayang din yung sparetire and mags nya bago pa naman. Dati yung sotckmags nya yung 15" with 31x10.5 for 2000 strada. Nagpalit sya nung 20003 6spoke strada mags with Bridgstone Dueler A/T tires.

10k daw inabot 4thou participation sa insurance. hassle talaga manakawan :mad:

kinuha na nung bro ko yung solex lock pero as of this time hindi pa yata alam kung paano diskarte sa kabit. pati ako din di ko alam hehe.

Dun sa Hilux na lang namin siguro ilagay yun tapos bili sya nung chain and padlock kung di pa nya nakabit.

loop it around the tire and chassis twice.

The Solex lock i have is weather proof (had t on for two year na and no rust or stuck-ups)... I just clean it around twice a year.

Yung all-weather padlock walang springs sa loob, twist the key and pull out the lock body. Madali nga masira ang padlock pag may springs.

These thieves are clever. Even without the rod thats needed to hoist the spare down kaya nila nakawin. Their style is to take out all the air from your spare and unhook the "t" from the magwheels and there goes your spare.
