Re: Which Security system to use??

I have removable steering wheels on two of my trucks and LoJack on one. I won the LoJack at a car show this summer. They said retail is $695.

The removable steering wheels are a great alternative to alarms systems. They won't stop thiefs from towing the truck but it makes it darn difficult to drive away. Besides if you were going to steal a car and looked in and saw it didn't have a steering wheel you would probably move on to the next one.

The kit is made by Grant and costs about $100. Summit has them. Only draw backs are they only fit aftermarket wheels and it positions the steering wheel about 2 inches closer to you. Works best if you select a wheel with little to no dish.

I swear by them. One of my trucks is a daily driver and I always remove the wheel and stick it under the seat. Takes about 2 seconds. I used to drive it to a park in ride north of Seattle and the truck was always there when I returned and thieves treated thosed lots like used car lots.
