Pickup Spare Tire Theft

[Supierreman]

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.

sa VAN namin kahit 13in lang pinatulan pa, cadena+lock OK na..>>

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.

[Jeepcruizerph]

opo tatanggalin lang nila yung hangin ng gulong...yun na yun anggat lang sa ilalim yung spare tire and wala na huhuhu

ako kinuha sa mismong mall pa ng ever gotesco...tapos naka smile sa akin yung security guard pag alis ko...nagtataka ako di naman nag iismile mga guards lol....pag dating pampanga sa bahay maglilinis ako ng vanette...ayun.....rrrrrrrrrrrrrr freakin A !*#$*%!#^#$%^

[notEworthy27]

loko yung mga secu na yun ah! dapat matigok na!

now that you've mentioned it...I just remembered that I haven't replaced my locks for the spare!

kung kadena ang kukunin ko, hindi kaya kalawangin ang chassis at yun kadena mismo?

[notEworthy27]

kung normal tire locks, diba pwede nilang putulin? or kadena lang talaga ang best alternative.

[snyc3]

ok din yan Solex lock pre pero i suggest you use Chain lang and Abloy Locks na Stainless (Springless) w/c doesn't get stucked. OK na yun. YUn Solex mo OEM na use yan ng mga SUV like Pajero.

[Supierreman]

OO nga no?! badtrip kahit pala tong rod type solex lang mukhang pwedeng tanggalin pag binawasan yung hangin :praning: Got to warn my bro right away tsk tsk. dapat kadena and padlock na nga lang.


sync3,
iba tong solex lock na napost ko check out the pics at the first page. yung sa Pajero yung yung lugnut type lock for tailgate mounted spare tire.

[vinj]

Look for the all-weather locks are harder as well... they can easily break the regular locks IMO.

Kung sa chain, thats why i got the Masterlock Chain with coating... no problemo sa kalawang and its also claimed to be harder to cut.

[notEworthy27]

is this the same masterlock chain used for bikes? hindi ba nadudumihan ng sobra? I'll be using it in my pickup.

[theveed]

Sa mga naka Expe na luma, dali nakawin spare tire nyo, the gap between the bumper and the rear tailgate is large enough to insert a 1/2 inch rod to safely lower the spare tire. May client kami dita nanakawan sya, the only trace of entry was light scuffs dun sa edge ng tailgate.

Silipin nyo yung butas where you insert the rod sa expe, kitang kita.

[Ungas]

Lahat ng bagay na ilalagay mo sa underchassis madudumihan, unless nakapark lang yan sa garahe. :bwahaha:

Re. Masterlock Chain: Somewhat similar but the get the one with a bigger size( Length and diameter) and without a built-in lock (yung pang bike ang may built-in lock).
