Or better yet, ilagay sa loob ng kotse ang spare, assuming na walang gagamitin na function ang third row.

is the original spare tire lock rust proof? i find it weird that for that amount of 3,8k+ its not even powder coated.

i don't know what that finish is called (is that galvanized, or something else)? ideas?

i was thinking, powder coating it outside or caliper paint or any sort of coating (thanks toyota), or blast it with undercoating once installed or just do both...

buhayin lang po uli ang thread. is this enough to secure our innova's spare tire? this costs 1.8k. another masterlock costs 1.5k pero chain siya at padlock. both types are heavy and thick naman. sa tingin niyo po? thanks.

in truth, any decent bolt cutter can cut 'most any chain you can possibly install under there. what i am more worried about is, with all the water and mud under there, will i be able to unlock the chain when it comes time to use the spare tire? a bicycle chain from shoemart will probably be just as good..

Use a good quality padlock. The Solex padlock on our Frontier never rusted on us and i clean it from time to time as well.
