Only had my new warrior 2 month and some knob head has stolen my spare wheel. im going to replace it maybe claim on insurance but dont want it to happen again.
Any ideas on how to keep it safe other than keeping it in the back as i need the space
Thanks

(do check what age this kit is for and what yours is to make sure it's compatible)

are you sure it came with a spare and wasn't missing when you got it perhaps ?

Mine can't get stolen,I took mine off!If anything happens I will phone the AA if my tyre repair aerosol fails.gives more clearance under the tub and a fair bit less weight(I do plan to mount one behind the cab once I get Another 33" tyre) 😊😊

Mine was mounted behind the cab,a lot easier to bolt it up and then use chain and padlock for security.

a chain and padlock is what i use around the chassis rail and through the wheel

Don't you run the risk of the padlock rusting up.....

Chuck mine inside the lockable canopy.

A high quality alarm with proximity detection will let you know Johnny Scumbag is there before he can even get his tools out, which is why I have such a device.
