    going to be fun!
    I did that very same thing on the Taco before I traded it in on the 4 Runner. I added a ziplock bag over the locking/Key end with a wire tie to keep it from the elements

    I meant the lock :rofl:
    Sorry, I should have been more specific about that. Does it hold up well in the elements of the weather? I’m in the Chicago area, so we have harsh weather.

    Awesome, thanks! Do you know how good they are where it snows a lot? Do they rust up and not open?

    What if they steal four spares? Then they basically have four brand new tires for their truck. It sucks that people would do something like that.

    Brilliant idea - thanks! I had a spare Kryptonite lock in my garage. It now lives on my spare. Not quite as weatherproof as yours so I wrapped a large freezer Ziploc bag around the locking barrel and then wrapped the bag with tape.

    Do you have the standard spare tire, or a nice rim for your spare?

    I'm just carrying the spare tire in the bed, under a locked camper shell. There are no good solutions to the spare tire problem. I may eventually dispense with the spare entirely, and rely on my inflator and puncture repair kit. Thinking about it.
