Where to hide a spare key?
 

im going to crawl under my truck tonight and find a good spot to hide a spare in case i locked myself out and secure it....ive never done this before and im kind of hesitant to do it cuz of the area i live in but i will make sure it is completely hidden and secured, and might put it in one of those hideakey lockboxes

what is a good place to stash it?

im always very careful about not locking myself out, anytime i ever get out of my truck without taking the keys out which is rare i roll the window down all the way

but still things happen

its a 2500 HD.....any ideas?

I edited your post so it made more sense, I understood that you were talking about a key, but it took me awhile to figure it out. no worries though.

I keep a spare set of keys in one of the little magnetic boxes that they sell at autozone for $1.50. I have it stuck inside one of the bed rails inside the rear wheelwell. I used to have it inside of one of the tubes on my hitch, but I had to move it when I put the duals on.

If you tell everyone here where it's at . . .

Can someone really say it's hidden ?

Just get a combo hitch cap.

Boat & RV shops sell em'

About the most secure place to stuff one of the lock boxes in a high theft area is up inside the hanging spare tire. Most people wont bother to crawl around on the ground and dig around up in there to look for it..it draws to much attention. inside of fenders or inside the front or rear bumper is the most looked in places.
Just a thought about hiding things..I wrap a tube of lock antifreeze in a paper towel and put it inside my gas filler cap cover. So when your locks freeze, and if you live in an area like I do (buffalo NY) they will..it is easy to get to and if someone takes it your only out a buck. But when you need it, it is priceless!! Just a thought, it has worked for me MANY times.

Dam whats gonna happen if ur on a date in a nice set of clothes and you lock urself out?? Lmao j/k I just put mine on the inner bedside in the back where I have to reach really hard to get it. Its kinda hard to stick ur head in there and look especially wit a flashlight.

I've only got one key to my bloody truck, so I'm spared the difficulty of where to hide another one.

Although, if I lose this bad boy, I'm completely and quite thoroughly F***ed aren't I?

I ziptied mine to my brake lines right next to my gas tank. it wouldnt be hard to find but i only lock my truck when im at work or in a parking lot.

How about putting it in your wallet ?

Duh.... lol :D

Hiding a spare key
 

How about a mini key safe in the trailer hitch receiver:

In your wallet! Now that's the ticket!

Yep thats where mine is at. Hop I dont lose my pants.:)

When i go to the gym and what not I lock my wallet in my truck and before i ziptied my spare key i locked my keys and my spare in the cab.

I am new here so this is my newby input.

My wife always had that concern- "someone will find it and take the car".

Think about it- if someone wants your truck, would they waste time looking all over a vehicle to see IF a key might be hidden somewhere? (how FEW people place a hidden key?)

Or would they use a tool to get past the locked door in a fraction of the time?

Find a spot that is easily reached but out of sight. Wrap the key in plastic then in black electrical tape, then attach it with multiple turns of tape. Within a few hundred miles road dirt will make it practically invisible.

Sure you might be in good clothes and get dirty- but how often would this happen? Beats being in the middle of nowhere and not able to get into your vehicle.

Just a suggestion
 

I dont know if you want to do this or not but i have one of those gas cap covers that takes a key to unlock it and i have a spare key in there. Now i have 3 keys to the gas can. One i have on my keychain for when I need gas, two which I keep in my house, and the other one I keep in one of those magnetic boxes on the underside of my bed. honestly I have trouble finding it myself because its so dark and the box is black so I dont think anyone will think to look there just dont let anyone see you put the key box where ever it is you decided to put it. But the gas cap cover is about 60 dollars on ebay and really puts a nice chrome finish on the truck and most people think your trying to keep them from stealing your gas and would never think that you have a hide away key in there two, plus you are prevent someone from stealing your gas. If they still steal your truck just let them have it cause they worked for it.... Just kidding... Hope this helps!

Then when they go to steal your spare tire, they find the key, and say to hell with the tire, lets just take the whole truck. :eek: I don't think I'd use that spot. You have to get under the truck in this case, but I have the key box inside the frame where its not visible to anyone under my truck. I know its there but its not visible at all. haha, Not gonna tell where I put it inside the frame though.
