ABSTRACT:
A locking device is provided for a vehicle having a spare tire hoist system for storage of the spare tire. The locking device includes a tubular member having a first end adapted to mateably engage an actuator tube on the hoist, and a second end. The second end includes a press-fit pin or extendable pin that engages the bumper to prevent the tubular member from being removed, and further includes a lock that prevents the tubular member from being rotated without removing the lock. The second end also includes a partially flattened section that can be engaged by a wedge-shaped end of a vehicle lug wrench.
