I bought a Trooper in 1992 and just got rid of it a couple of months ago. Never had a lock on the spare. That's either saying something about the area I live in or the Trooper's popularity. The antenna was stolen off of it, though.

I have a 33 on the back of my jeep and just use a cable lock looped through it. Not much security for the replacement cost I guess. I have worried it will walk away even with the lock and probably should get something a bit more fromidable. How much is that thing? It sure would suck to replace it if it were stolen

I have a locking nut on my spare, it came with the car as standard and requires a special bit to get it off.....but if it gets stolen the bastard who takes it will deserve all he/she gets. There's a quarter sized hole in the sidewall of the tire which could blow at any minute. I drove over a thrown snow chain on the way back from Tahoe last winter and it trashed the tire and smashed a fog lamp....never gotten around to switching it out, just put it on the spare mount.

So, ah, not much of a "spare" is it? :)
