Default New Tire Rack
I just installed a new tire rack, how does everyone lock their spare tire?
I just don't want to make it easy for someone to steal.

Very Nice! Congrats! Does it rattle or is it really solid?

It very solid, no rattles

Except the pin wants to pop out. I talked to Warn today and they are sending me a fix.

x3 ... I use the Gorilla lugs on all the tires, including the spare. Takes too long to steal that way.

I use a bike cable. I have black steal wheels so the black cable is hardly noticeable. It might not look as nice on your wheels but maybe you could find one that works.
