Look I dont want this to turn out to be a JV frigen thread. This is hopefully good info for us Jeepers that go topless. Someone tried stealing my Jeep Sunday night, half doors on tops off. I have an alarm, that has an infared sensor. To the normal scumbag crook he thought he could just jump over the half doors, disarm the alarm without it going off. Well thanks to the infared sensor you cant even put you hand in side without it catching the movement and it will set it off. My neighbor just happened to see the SOB jump in the Jeep the alarm started to blare and out he came with shit flying out his pants and into the awaiting car that sped off. So for those of you not fortunate enough to be able to put your jeep in a garge I really reccomend an alarm that works like this for us Jeepers that dont have a top on their rigs.

And to you MF'ers that try to steal my shit or anyone elses, dont ever let me catch you. :flipoff2:

Infrared prox sensor?

Are you sure about that or do you mean a radar prox?

cmk

how much does one of those run?

I've seen guys lock their steering wheeling with a u-bolt krytonite lock to their full roll cage.

might be alittle cheaper.

I always thought the easy way to protect your rig was just a simple, hidden kill switch.

Wire it right and you can do all kinds of cool things like leave your car running with the keys out and the colum locked.

Ya there are a 101 different ways to protect your rides. But my neighbor said it was hillarious watching this jerk climb up over the half door only to have the alarm screem at him. He said he almost fell jumping out.

And on the question about infared prox sensor, maybe that isnt exactly what it is but it is definatly a proximity sensor of some sort, Clifford alarms has it. Sure keeps the cats out.

You can cut through a steering wheel with a hack saw in a matter of seconds. Probably even quicker with a cordless sawzall.

Yeah, I've got the prox sensors on my alarm, too - I also got a pager wired into the system, so I receive a page when my alarm goes off. I'm usually close to the Jeep when I take it anywhere (like just inside the building at work) - I can be in the parking lot to check on the Jeep within about 10 seconds:).

I misspent part of my youth as a car stereo/alarm installer. I've had an Alpine dual-zone perimeter alarm in there for almost 7 years now and never had anything taken. All you have to do is wave your arm in the jeep and it goes off.

Real Jeeps don't have anything inside them worth stealing :flipoff2:

are you talking about the vehicle being stolen, or stuff inside it?

If it's stuff inside it get a locking box bolted to the floor and put everything in it, simple enough.

If you are worried about the Jeep being stolen, just take off the wire that goes from coil to distributer and either put it in your pocket or lock it up somewhere inside the Jeep.

Build you junk so damn ugly nobody wants it, and make it well known that it only has a 4cyl, works for me. Oh yeah, toss it in low range when you leave it parked anywhere questionable, chances are the theif will drop the clutch taking off and end up without a rear driveshaft, or go screaming down the road at a blazing 30 mph.

I have done a few things.

Put the tcase in netrual. or for you 2lo guys throw the shifters out of possition that should stump them

I have also locked the clutch to the brake pedal. have fun with taht one

I park my jeep outside (apartments) with only a safari top. I also lock the brake and clutch together, and park it in 4lo. I have front and rear auto lockers, so even if they start it up and try to drive away, I'll hear the tires barking like crazy right outside my window from the detroits in low on the concrete. It's nice that I have a well lit parking lot that allows me to park my heep six feet from my bedroom window. Which allows me to keep one eye on the jeep while the other one is busy sleeping. When I go out of town I take the Coil wire off.

Maybe I oughta take my location off my profile since I'm divulging all my secrets, Doh :confused:

Two Words for you to search the Internet for.

Fila Brasileo

Best "Alarm" on earth.

try this...wire a series of swtiches, 4 or more usually works, and put them in a good hidden spot. wire them so some have to be on and some have to be off to start the vehicle. that way if the scumbags do find your switches, they'll be guessing all day as to what position they need to be in. also stacked t-cases with twinsticks and a manul transmission usually confuses them.

-Scott

my alarm is like that but my remote is broken :(

Heres my proximity sensor

Someone stold my radio a few weeks back. That gave me a great idea.

Make a radio into a bomb and park you jeep out side so the little pricks steel it. Rig it up so when they plug it in, it blows their ass up.

Simplist thing to do if you have a twin stick is to put it in to neutral. During athletics at school I leave my keys in the cruiser since I can see it the whole time. The other day some dumbass thought it would be fun to take off in it after school...well when they couldn't go anywere at 3000rpms they got kinda scared...if only they would have blown my engine I could have a freakin v-8:flipoff2:

Some jackass "broke" into my YJ when i had it and rummaged through the beer cooler looking for the dethach face for the stereo when he was apparently interrupted and ran off with the quickest thing he could grab (a plug in red dash light from the fire dept). I felt a bit violated and decided to spend the nest night on my balcony with a 12 pack to wait for him. I made it through about 3 when i got bored and started digging throughmy storage shed. I found an old spun axle shaft from my 78 and began thinking about how much it could resemble the barrell of my rifle from a distance. i ran up the road to wally mart and grabbed one of those laser pointers for $5 and set the axle shaft up so it pointed through the bottom slat of my porch towards the parking lot, i then propped it up with a sleeping bag and set a small light behind it to cast a silhouette, i attached the laser pointer to the shaft with some 100 mile an hour tape holding the button down and centered it on the windshield, i then wrote a little note to my friend.. if you can read this i feel that you should know that there is a high paowered rifle pointed at your grape, if you really need something that bad come up to apt 302 and knock, i will be happy to help you out after i kick your ass, otherwise get the hell out of my jeep before i provide ventilation for your skull, and in case you didn't notice form the sticker on my windshield i am a marine, and i am a sniper, have a nice night :-) over the next several weeks i set this up and my jeep was never hit again (though there were at least a dozen other vehicle break ins and thefts). i thought about ways to set up a homemade claymore (m-18a1) mone, but figured that it might pop a tire too.

Agreed 100% UNLESS you are on wheeling trip and you have all your tools inside. That is the only time I have anything worth taking in my jeep.

well the problem isnt whats inside the jeep its everything underneath it, not mention the swampers and everything else. Not much left on the dam thing that is jeep. But it would make some nice parts for a Ford, Chevy, Dodge and J20......ha ha.

And hey sniper from Virginia I wouldnt be writing that kind of shit to often, know the FBI is going to checking out the board and hunting you down......:flipoff2:

The one in my garage must be a figment of my imagination then...


:flipoff2: :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

i did car sterio instalation for a while so i have learned to use shat like specialized screws (square head drywall screws mess them up) and impossible to remove enclosures (also getting hit in the head with a piece of sterio while offroading would not be fun)
When i park my jeep for a long period(deployment) i put one stick in low one in high and if the fawker tries to steal it something will explode:D
and sence it got moved it is considered stolen and the insurance pays for new parts:flipoff2:

dont forget the old fish hooks superglued to the head unit trick :)

hey guys well i am from the capital of stolen cars in the north america...montreal ,canada.well now i am down south but i had a vr6 volks once it was a 92 that i had retrofitted a 93 corado motor in it ....well to mak e along story short the innsurance company made me put a low-jack system in it in canada it was called boomerang anyways its a satelite recovery system...i sold my volks and built a cj that before it was built some cawk sucker jumped in it and trying taking it ...hahahah luckily the t-case was in neutral and the dumbass didnt know how to use a twin-stick well...after building and then tearing it apart to sell it and make money for my next project the tj-7 i reused the boomerang and slapped in a clifford concept 60...comes with proximity and shock sensors.great alarm..

the cheapest way would be just pulling of the coil wire or the fuel pump fuse or relay ...problem solved..

as for the boomerang my dad had bought a 98' 5.9 zj and i made him get one.hahahah last year they broke into it and stole it hahhahah.the fawkers where smart though they left it at a used car dealership for a couple of days to see if it had a tracking system in it.well they found it and my dad got it back . now he just bought a overland which will also be getting the tracking system...


thats the real way to go.....

ouch, but it's all good, im a cop now, oh wait a minute...

I live in a small town and last year my friend had a 69 ford f250 that was in total mint original condition almost like a show truck.
He had also just put $4000 into the motor. About one week before his high school graduation some shitbag stole from the parking lot he works at and even though he call the police within 2 minutes it was never seen again. My friend has never been the same and neither will the guy that took the truck if I find him

but it does have to deal with theft. Here's the story: My Junior year of HS I had to take a semester of P.E. since I only played football during the football season my freshman year. While I was in P.E. ...sometime during the winter or early spring, can't really remember but I had on a cablela's gore tex XCR jacket, I guess I forgot about it and left it in the dressing room. Well 7th period rolls on and as I gather my stuff to leave 6th I realize I don't have my jacket. I got out of 7th to go to the gym and look for it and talk to the teach and see if she knew anything about it or had seen anyone with it, however she didn't remember it. Time goes by and while I was still looking for it I figured it would be a lost cause. Spring and Summer go by and we reach September 22, 2003. I had gotten a sore throat the night before and so during the break we get between 2nd and 3rd I decided to go to the drink machines and get something. Well well well, about halfway down the steps my eyes inadvertantly focus in on this green and black jacket. A second goes by and I freeze there...my brain is pondering and contemplating. Then I reach my conclusion...THAT'S MY MOTHERFAWKIN' JACKET, ON SOMEONE ELSES BACK OTHER THAN MINE. (I march down the stairs and turn this kid around and begin looking the jacket over just to make sure it's the exact same one and that it's MINE.) Dialogue:
ME: Is that a Cabela's jacket?
Stupid Worthless Piece O Shit Dumbass: yea
ME: You know that's my jacket and you stole it out of the PE room last year.
Stupid Worthless Piece O Shit Dumbass: No I didn't, my brother gave it to me.
Me: Bullshit! You stole it. Give me my fawkin jacket, now.
<about this time the security guard at our school comes over and runs us off to class cause the tardy bell had rang so I got his name.>
{later I realized just how screwed I would have been if I had whooped him there and taken the jacket back}
3rd period ends and I meander on down to the P.E. room to see if the teacher still remembered about my jacket getting stolen and surely enough she did, so I mentioned the kids name and checked her role from last year and found out he had 6th period P.E. (the period right after mine and right before 7th when I went to look for it) She told me to come back to her next period at the beginning of lunch to talk to the cops about it.
I went back to her to talk to the cops about it and they said they'd talk to him about it while I was eating. Towards the end of lunch my teacher comes in and tells me that the cop had gotten it back and that I should thank him cuase usually they can't do much without cold hard facts and I didn't really have anything to prove it other than It was just something that I knew, I knew I was the only one with that jacket. I thanked the cop and he told me that the kid wanted him to apologize for him and that I should leave the kid alone (I'll see about that) and I thought it was shitty of the kid to have the cop apolgize for him and not directly to me, plus he didn't get in any trouble for stealing my $200 jacket and having it in his possession for half a year since he fessed up about it. Fair enough though, I got my jacket back and that's all that matters.
Now I'm in my 5th period english class when I decide to go through the pockets to look for the jacket's stuff sack when much to my suprise I find, among other things, a bag of croutons and a folded up ziploc bag. I unraveled the bag to see what was in it and that's when I saw it (and remember, this is right smack-dab in the middle of english class) It was a bag of WEED :smokin: . Now I don't smoke so I wasn't 100% sure, but I had a good idea that's what it was so I look over to the guy beside me, who btw is already lookin over at me with that "wtf" look on his face so I ask him, "is this, you know...weed?"..."uhuh"(same "wtf" look)
:bounce2: :idea: :bounce: Ok the kid didn't get in trouble for stealing my jacket, but holy shit, he's fawked now! So I walked up to the teacher with the bag of pot firmly grasped in hand and show it to her, and for some reason I got another one of those "wtf" looks from her and I asked her if I could go take this down to the cops (her): "uuuuuhh...hmmmm...yeeeaaa...suuurre...wwwhhhhhaaaa aaaaaaat"
And can you believe I walked all the way across the school with a bag of pot in my hand and not a single person said a damn thing to me!
So when I held out the bag of pot infront of my P.E. teacher she just kinda looked at it and said "OH SHIT" then she took it over to the cops.
On of my friends that's a sophomore said he was in his class 6th period when they took him out and searched his locker, and one of my other friends said he stopped by the office and saw that kid in there :crybaby2:
I haven't seen him at school the last couple of days, and do I feel the least bit sorry for him...not a bit. It's hard to feel sorry for someone when they steal from you, then lie to you about it to your face, require someone else to apolgize for them, smoke pot and not be man enough to face the consequences of what they do.
There I'm done, that's the end of my story. I just have to say one more time that kid's a sorry pathetic worhtless piece o shite.

I can't believe you turned the poor bastard's pot in to the cops. Maybe you shouldn't leave your jacket where someone thought you didn't want it.

????? all ive got to say is ????? what does that 5000 word essay have to do with anything? we are all dumber now for haveing read it.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAH! God bless Billy Madison lol.....i assume you were quoting that movie...lol....

fawken thieves are now using tow trucks and trailers so sticks in neutral and unhooking wires just make it easier........bolt it to the ground in the garage:eek: :D

Yep, thats my worry, haulin' my crap off regardless of locks, switches, outta gear, alarms, etc...

I've always liked the idea of a silent alarm w/ a pager. Keep a semi auto paintball gun next to your door. Maybe even keep the paintballs in the freezer. Even if he gets away, he'll be walking around with welps for days. Makes it easy to recognize him a few days later if you want to give him a few MORE welps on his head.

Cool. All I ask is when you people come to NH to please turn these damn things off.

The folks at the hunting camp where I used to keep my truck came up with a good way to keep buggies and trucks from getting stolen as well as keeping wheels on them. They would fab 2 "t" shaped bars for each axle long enough to meet in the center, slide them through the holes in the wheels and lock them together. Now I know this is not convenient for daily use but it will keep the rig from moving when it's stored long term. Most of the vehicles that live up there are left there year round and that works well. Would work on a trailer as well.


Of course the hunters watch each others stuff closely as well. Someone was caught stealing last time I was up there and they wouldn't allow him to leave the area w/out apologizing to each and every person there (40 by the time he decided to try and leave) He wasn't able to hide in an 80,000 acre hunting area :flipoff2:

BlueYJ---so does this mean that next week they come back and dis-arm the battery before jumping in? just thinkin out loud.

Haha that story was great. Fawkin theif got what he diserverd after all. Sorta the same thing happened in my middle school except that they were able to prove the jacket was stolen, because it had the kids name written in it in perminate ink, and the cops made the kid empty out the pockets in front of em.

My factory TJ head unit had a bracket that was bolted to the fire wall by two nuts and then to the back of the head. When i got my pioneer head i just tapped the back the head to fit the bolt and bolted that SOB in there like the old one. I had to get one of my really skinney friends to do it because my hand wouldn't fit. If someone manages to steal my head unit then they can have it because that kind of effort would warrant the $20 bucks they will get for it. Does anyone else have this bracket? Every TJ i have messed with doesn't have it. Its a Biotch to get the bolt at the back of the head.

A friend of mine who used to do car stereo installations installed a $5000 stereo setup in a tricked out Wrangler (why bother?!?!?! but I digress), and the owner was concerned over theft, so he crazy-glued a bunch of fish hooks to the back of the stereo head unit so that when a theif reached his hand up behind it to unhook the wiring, he would rip his fingers up on the barbs of the hooks. He was one sick f*cker....
