My luck would be I wire up a stun gun in my truck and the thief's heart stops when they get zapped. But before I get back to my truck and can dispose of the scum somebody sees them slumped over and calls 911. |

Re: What's your best theft deterrent ???
I'm a proponent of being armed at all times where legal but "brandishing" is a real thing and so are the arrests and convictions it can lead to.
Also, leaving anything of value visible in a vehicle is a great way to get a window broken and that stolen and guns have more value on the street than the newest and best Iphone. Stickers advertising gun ownership is also a great way to get a vehicle broken into or if one is really lucky, followed home and their house broken into later. I am going with fuel cutoff, coil isolation, gear shifter removal, brake jack, and chaining rear axle to things. GPS following sounds good also. |

Re: What's your best theft deterrent ???
I bought a fuel shutoff switch that you install inline to the low pressure line. You can install a remote switch to turn it on or off. I got it from JC Whitneys a long time ago and it was actually well made.

Re: What's your best theft deterrent ???
So far I have installed locking vent window handles, made some slim jim gaurds, so you can't unlock the door with a slim jim. I hooked up my hei to a relay with a hidden switch, I modified the hood latch so you probably couldn't open the hood unless I showed you how and modified my hei so it will not start with a jumper wire. Now if I could just figure out how to keep it from being towed. Anyway I feel good about using it.

Re: What's your best theft deterrent ???
I have a battery cut off that works off a FOB which is cool but easy to remove by popping the hood. Can you share what you did d to your hood latch? I promise I'm no where near Arkansas.

I restored the door locks to original configuration about 18 years ago with parts from Jerry Moss, and Blue buttons from Brothers.

Re: What's your best theft deterrent ???
all my old trucks ive always had a kill switch disabling the distributor or power wire to the coil. my thought is that if they actually peel the ignition it will just crank and not start and they will just think its a old piece of crap that wont start and move on.

Dirty Socks, Streaked underwear, and open a few condom packs and leave it laying around on the seat!!! Add empty MD 20/20 bottles for good measure...

Re: What's your best theft deterrent ???
In our area they have been using roll backs with winch so the best deterrent is don't let the truck out of your sight.
