Naaaa, i dont drink, so just havin some fun.

one way to eliminate the spare tire problem, is to remove the tire, tire wench, and install big ole train horns.

just remember to put the spare tire in the bed before long trips.

only way to prevent that is to run a chain thru it w/ a pad lock...and
even that wont stop the worst crooks....and then YOU have to be
willing to put up w/ the extra noise goin' down the road :rant

as a "side" suggestion....i turned my tire such that i can check
the air pressure w/OUT having to lower the tire.

What about filling it with oxygen/acetylene? Might not keep the thief from stealing it but you should be able to locate him after the explosion ;)


problem is it wont matter to the crack head thief or anyone else...
and youll NEVER recover your tire that way ;)

who the hell BUYS a steel wheel these days ? i mean we
know its crack heads that steal 'em but whats the best they
could get 10 maybe 20 bucks (assuming the tire is good)?

me. I was hoping to go to a junk yard and pick up the winch and tire all in one. oh and possably a new tailgate too. (i forgot the trailer was not attached when i drove the car up on to it this weekend)

I would think that they would just scrap the metal and burn the tire or somthing. I mean the rim was rusing away and the tire was 9 years of dryrot. meth is a hell of a drug.

to bad I didnt show up when he was under there:sly
