Hilux Fortuner spare wheel and wheel lock that works

Post by ChristodeClerk »

Hello everyone, I have had the misfortune of almost having my Fortuner's spare wheel stolen in Ladybrand. They could not get my spare wheel because I fitted a Jost secure lock not to be outdone they opted to slash the sidewall on the left rear tyre, very inconvenient, but instead of R8500 it only cost me R2500 to replace my Bridgestone Dueller. If you would like to secure your Hilux or Fortuner aluminium rims and spare wheel feel free to Contact Jost in Kempton Park on 011 395 8500 or Christo de Clerk on 08 2774 9818 or Jost in Bellville in Cape Town 021 951 2161 for the Jost secure lock set. Very easy no fuss installation.

Part number for Hilux or Fortuner with aluminium rims:
GT1020-FTHS R 526.00 including VAT

Part number for Hilux with steel rims
GT1020-FTHX R 526.00 including VAT

I'm glad they didn't get your wheels. Just FYI, those can be overcome by taking a cheap socket of around the same size as the male side of the key and hitting it with a heavy hammer onto the nut.
Happy trails
