What's your best theft deterrent ???

[rsgt]

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.

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.

The PO of my '71 4x4 Jimmy, removed the door lock buttons and relay rods. He lived in urban LA. He and his wife had door keys, and when picking up one or the other, they used the key to unlock and open the door. They can't slim jim on what's not there.
I restored the door locks to original configuration about 18 years ago with parts from Jerry Moss, and Blue buttons from Brothers.

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.

a chinese fire drill routine to start my truck prevents most from steeling it. plus... its a three on the column. no lil punk a@# Bi%^& knows how to drive one of those,

the 1911 is a good deterent too

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...

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.
