Premium72 · 12-27-2007, 01:20 PM

this has been brought up with out to many options. also the fact that if sumthing happens under the hood. (fire stuck throttle, so on) you might not be able to get to it intime to fix or save it. good luck .

69halfton · 12-27-2007, 01:36 PM

Hidden cut off swich on the starter wire only is the way to go!!!!

msgross · 12-27-2007, 02:29 PM

I keep my hood and doors stored in multiple places at my house (shed, garage, basement) so that thieves cant track my truck down! lol

I have seen hidden releases for the hood, cutoff switch for gas/battery/starter...

If that dosent work, I got a paranoid Marine neighbor who doesnt sleep and takes it upon himself to patrol our block with a .470NE

Alarm that goes off with open doors or hood, also an inertia switch for motion. Occassionaly use a club on the wheel.

Robert1970C20rstbukt · 12-27-2007, 06:00 PM

12 gauge side-by-side Winchester!The truck is parked right outside so I can fire off a good warning shot at whoever is messin with it(or any of the other junk we have around our place)

I have a kill switch going to power to the coil on my h.e.i., so it just turns over and won't start. I've heard that they can get around the switch hooked up to your starter. That's just what I heard though.

well i know a few really nice security systems i use gps track down so if somthing open on my truck i get alerted and it take a satillite picture where its at how fast is going and so on and so forth is a great investment it notifys my cell phone if any door or windows open or when my truck is turn on or off and it also shows how fast im moving and blah blah blah message me if you want to knwo mroe about it

EAST SIDE LOW LIFE · 12-27-2007, 11:12 PM

A little security, allot of security someone wants your truck it's gone!

That's why I use "Bull Dog Security" the decal that will always be on duty 24/7.

esll.

PS: Car thieves and chop shops know there are alams out there. They are not going to let this stop them. I get a laugh when guys advertise with decals their stereo and alarm systems. Nothing like letting a car thief in on whats on the inside.

lbpd719 · 12-28-2007, 12:01 AM

but nothing puts fear in the hearts of crooks like this decal. With one of these, people KNOW you mean business

yep.........coil wire works worls even better!!!!!

gophersnake · 12-28-2007, 12:41 AM

Mine's protected by a hybrid (part-Radio Shack) alarm -- good luck figuring it all out! Basically you can't open the doors, hood, etc. without setting off the alarm. Occasionally someone will break in, set off the alarm, grab about $5 worth of stuff, and run.

The truck itself is an old turkey that thieves don't find that attractive -- and even with a key, it takes a certain amount of skill to get it started.

mnunn454 · 12-28-2007, 04:05 AM

Radio Shack was out, so I added an
internally located,
low-light capable,
motion detecting,
audio initiated and
self activated system called the

"INTIMIDATOR"..........

Get yourself one of these...they work well.

larry may · 12-28-2007, 06:36 AM

There was a thread on here a while back . Do not remember his name , but does play Cow Bell . This member was or had fabricated some hood latches activated from the inside. He may have some new stuff too. Thinking he was some thing to do with law enforcement. Last I knew a tree of all things fell on his Classy ride. What was that members name?
