anyone ever run the grant steering wheel removal system? where could i get a good quality set of keyed hood locks? i dont want the $15.99 kragens special....
Im running a master battery disconect hidden but accessable in drivers seat, then I am running a toggle switch to my switchboard for my ignition, So even if they could get the batery bypassed the ignition has no heat. Oh and my hood locks down. But the ignition thing would work fine, easy and wouldnt allow hotwiring.
I just read through that big thread. I didn't find that one when I was searching around. Lots of good ideas in that thread. Some of them look like a major PIA to work with though. I have to put my alarm in the valet mode when I wheel because the immobilizer becomes such a pain. I can't imagine working some of the crazy stuff I seen.
Personally, I have chain links on my shifters, they lock in reverse marlin low. with enough time and a hacksaw a theif can get through them, but then they have to deal with other things that I really don't feel like sharing
Or they Try and drive away in reverse real sloooow. I saw that photo in the other thread i like it.
If they want it nothing you can do will stop them.
Another thing to make STEAL PROOF is your stereo! Toyota doors are so easy to unlock anyone can do it in seconds. Alot of thieves go for toyotas just to take the stereo. My amp was stolen 10 feet from my front door. Amps should be mounted to sheetmetal (back of cab) use a sheetmetal screw that takes a square head instead of a philips then fill the head with JB weld and there is no way to remove the screws with out a die grinder. Do the same on the deck and speakers. The harder you make things for thieves the less they will be around, just a thought.
12voltguy.com has one. Starter diconnect, so it doesnt do much for a manual tranny, since you could bump start it. But he includes a toggle to use as you wish...
thats a very good idea. i need to do that.ive had 3 systems stolen from the truck i drive now.too much money lost.
I have a switch for the fuel pump and one for the clutch. When the thief tried to get mine he bump started it in the driveway, but only made it to the center of the street.
If you have enough swiches nobody that doesnt know you can take your truck...
I always wanted to get 2 or 3 good sized diamond backs or rattlers and get them devenomed, then leave em in the truck. Now I just have to catch myself some rattlesnakes, and figure out where the hell I take them to get their venom sacks removed. Plus I need to get used to having big fangs sunk into my flesh but if its for the protection of my baby, I will definitely do it.
