Spare Tire need lock

Hello!
just bought used 2017 Jeep Wrangler Sahara, need be able to lock spare tire, however, no lugs in bracket, just large bolt with handles to tighten spare to back, does show small hole that I might use for small cable lock? any suggestions? will try to attach picture

 

Welcome to the Forum @Saxton2017.

Can you post up a pic of where that came off of.

 

The hole and the slot next to it looks like the previous owner may have been using a padlock to lock the handle from spinning. I can't tell how big the hole and slot are without anything for reference. Even a cheap padlock is better then nothing. The goal is to make it harder for them to steal your spare then the next guys. Crooks are opportunistic, they go for whatever is quick, easy and will draw the least amount of attention.

 

thanks for responses, here is bracket behind tire

 

@Saxton2017. I have something similar on my JK. But the license plate mount slids into that tube thru the spare tire.
What I would do is pick up a new spare tire mount w/3 lug mount and use wheel locks vs stock lug nuts.

Maybe you can find something here.
