I've been thinking of doing something to my Jeep to slow down a would be theif.

I've considered so far:

A semi hidden readily accesible switch that would either disconnect the fuel pump, fuel injectors, ignition, or power to the starter selonoid (sp?)

Disconnect the starter portion of the ignition switch and use semi hidden push button starter.

A combination of a push button starter, and a fuel system disconnect?

Better to let them turn it over, maybe fire off then die, or just keep it from turning over at all???

You can buy a key that turns off all your electrical and a push button would be my reccomondation

I had a mustang once that had a Micro brake lock system.Seemed like a good idea.Never got tested though.

A brake line lock
hidden fuel pump cutoff and/or starter disable switch

A good alarm works wonders, mine is so sensative if it rains she'll chirp at you

Alarms are cheap insurance and peace of mind, even on a Jeep (open top or not if you barely bump my truck she'll let you know)
