Preventing Spare Tire Theft

[Jeepin_Donnie]

What is everyone using to prevent spare tire theft? On my JK I used 3 different locking lugs. On my JL I am using the Artec Industries license plate relocation bracket so that is using up two of the lugs..............for the third I was considering a locking lug but I can't find any for JL aftermarket wheels. All I can find are spline lug nut sets. What is everyone using? Thanks in advance for your input!

Edit: Additional info for the funny guys out there............My spare has not been stolen and never has. Not even when I lived in DC. I'm asking because I like to drive my Jeep when going on vacation. There are always thieves in vacation spots. I'm not concerned about parking in my neighborhood, work, or anywhere local where I park.

I put a claymore behind mine with a trip wire upon removal. 100% effectivness

Check Bolt out. I don’t think their JL stuff is out yet but they were displayed at SEMA.

Sounds like you need to move to a better neighborhood.

But you might get a mark on the paint, who cares about the blood, it will wash off.

A garage.

I put a few spot welds to keep it from coming off

I'm use one Mopar lock lug nut. I know it will stop not them but it will slow them down a little.

A 31 inch worn-out crappy tire mounted on a Plasti-Dipped black JK wheel with one locking lug. It looks ok, but who would want to steal it? Being a Rubicon, my diffs are open, so running a donut spare is just fine. Having a 37 inch spare to match my running gear is expensive, unnecessary, and terrible for my tailgate.

Your diffs may physically be open but you still have to contend with the BLD.

I wheel and do a 5 tire rotation..who the hell would want a used tire on a cheap wheel with trail rash?

Gorilla Wheel Locks...same as my other wheels.

I live in a nice neighborhood, therefore it's not my 'hood I'm concerned with. I'm more concerned about when I travel to the beach. Do you have a helpful response?

Thanks. I checked. Unfortunately their JL lock isn't available yet.

Had those for my stock wheels, unfortunately won't work on aftermarket wheels.
