    Turns out someone has swiped my spare tire. Went crawling under the truck yesterday and noticed something was missing. Has this happened to anyone else? Found a replacement set (used) from my local Americas tire dealer. Just another $150 I didnt need laying around the house I guess. Oh well. Let me know what you have done to stop this from happening to you.

    Sorry to hear that! People now in days will do anything...

    But take a look at Ghost96Romeo's build like Anathollo said, and you should be good. ;)

    NraFan....exactly how did the thief remove it? Did they crank it down? Did they cut the cable that holds it?

    Happened to me on my old s-10. The whole lock is a good idea and all, but on mine they cut the wire. I thought it might have somehow broke the wire or something, but it was a clean cut.

    Just cranked down. At least the had the courtesy to crank it back up. How nice of them.

    Just picked the "new" spare up today. Got a factory steel rim (the silver one) and a used BFG A/T to mach. Back to normal now. Full size spare.

    NraFan my spare got stolen too I now have a bike lock on it. I also lost my bed extender :S probably to the same Ahole... The one thing that p'ed me off the most is that I have a presure sensor in my spare so my freaking light is now on.

    Ohh by the way instead of buying a spare for $150 I went and got a set of 4 from someone on this forum. This mean I have 4 spare tires with sensor, i'll sell you one with the sensor for $100 if your interrested. If you want to pay to have the sensor removed i'll do $60. Its the stock wheels not a spare so even better. LMK I'm in HB/Santa Ana/Irvine.

    All thieves should be executed. The forcible transfer of one's need to create another's misery is unacceptable.

    Raskal,

    Thanks for the offer. Already went today and had it replaced. I will have to put some sort of lock on it to prevent it from being stolen again. Thanks again.
