Spare Tire Lock
Not sure if this is the right section to put this in, but I figured it is sort of tire related.
Anyway, I am looking for a spare tire lock (I already have wheel locks). My buddy's spare tire on his expedition had gotten stolen so I want to avoid the experience on my F-150 - part of the joys of living in Philly. Any ideas or recomendations?
Thanks,
George

YEs, you want the lock Raoul listed ...
http://www.tedbrittford.com/Parts/Ac...20Spare%20Tire
The key socket shown is friction fit (tapped in) into the rectangular socket on the spare crank box. This socket is what the long crank handle engages with above the spare tire. With the spare off, you can twist off the plastic guide tube and tap/hammer the key socket into the rectangular crank socket.
You also recieve a 7" round key that clips on the end of the crank handle that you slide down the guide tube to engage the key socket. Just turn the crank handle til the key and socket engage, and crank the spare down as normal.
Basically the key socket prevents the thief from using a stock jack crank handle to lower your spare tire.
Works great, no rusted up locks or crawling under to unlock the spare. Just crank it down.
