Hyundai Santa Fe (Gen. 2) Thread

Is the SF equipped with a temporary use spare tire? This might explain why thieves don't bother to steal SF spare tires unlike the Fortuner which uses a full size spare on a matching alloy wheel.

The spare is exactly the same -- size and rims. Maybe thieves are not targeting SFs as there are not that many on the road to steal from. Still I would want to get added locks/protection just to avoid the aggravation. Any recommendations?

Thanks for the info. That's some creative packaging to stuff a full sized spare under there.

I use a thick cable with built in lock. An item I got from Blade in SM for Php88.00. I'm just not sure how it would work on an SF.

Welcome sir. I think I will do a quick look down there and see how best to secure it. Thanks for the info too re the lock.

For added locks, you can use 8mm stainless steel chain and an all weather padlock with cover. I bought the chain along Alonzo st in Santa Cruz for 420 per meter. I think the name of the store is "mega pacific" or something. Anyway, thats the only store that sells it for the said price. Others cost double. Padlocks you can buy anywhere. Just make sure the keyhole has a built-in cover to protect from dirt.

ser hindi po, naka-alloy rim siya. medyo malalim at masikip din kase yung space gaya ng Fort.

Anong top speed ng Santa Fe base sa experience niyo? Mga 1 to 2 adults ang sakay, w/ minimal bagahe?

Hehe, curious lang kasi recently may humamon samin sa NLEX, although hindi naman kami kumagat. Alam mo yun, yung biglang hataw sabay preno ng matindi, tapos tatabihan ka then titingin yung driver? Mga 2 mins. ata silang ganun. Pansin namin malakas hatak ng Santa Fe... :D

200kph kaya ng SF. dati kumakagat pa ako sa mga naghahamong mga yan, 2.0 Focus Hatch nakakarera ko na dati at sa 180kph kahit alam kong kaya niya di na humabol, natakot siguro.
ngayon deadma na lang, ala namang premyo nauna eh.

Sa NLEX may premyong overspeeding ticket.

Dumating na ba ung original 3D matting natin? paki-post namin ang pics.

Hi Guys!

I checked the spare tire compartment of the SF, medyo masikip talaga lagyan ng chain.

If anyone of you managed to install a chain lock, please share some pics and tips!

Thanks!
