Prevent break in and Theft

[Lunch Box]

I recently had a business in Ingram, Texas who has developed a kit to prevent easy break ins and theft on Ford Trucks. They remove the key tumbler from the driver's door and then put a plastic insert where the vacant hole is, and another where the tumbler was in the door..then they remove the connecting rod from inside the door to prevent a slim Jim from being used...for those who are wondering how you would get in your truck in the event of a dead battery(s), they run a wire from the positive battery post to a stud in the r/f wheel well. Then you run a jumper from another vehicle or power source to the frame and the stud. That provides enough power that your key fob will now work to unlock the truck. Those with 2 batteries probably never need it.

Yes, Extreme outfitters, they designed it. Several San Antonio cops got their trucks done.

Who is this, is the Roy? LOL

That’s a great price. Nice to see companies doing something for a fair price

It’s it Roy who does it? I’ve dealt with him and the tint guy numerous times. I live in Dallas but at our property in Fredericksburg. I need to go get this done while here. San Antonio is notorious for this problem!

Any chance they could teleport to the PNW to do an install in the future? That's super clean and reasonable, but I'm afraid it's not worth a multi-day drive to Texas.

Roy at extreme outfitter is one of the best around. Always fair and does great work. If you ever have a chance look him up. There is a auto shop in San Antonio that will color match and install a keyless driver side door handle and remove the mechanism. His price is $499. You have to drop you your fuel tank door off a few days in advance so that they may get one exactly color matched to what you have.

Just get the Jimmy Jammers and install them yourself. It really isn't that difficult. Takes about 15-20 minutes per door after you do the first one. https://jimmijammer.com/JJ description, 113700.html

What color is your rig? Not a color I am familiar with. Looks clean ?

Must be your camera, that definitely doesn’t look like velocity blue

These are great and I plan on doing something like this, but not until I can figure out the horn relocation kit. Because as shown in previous theft attempts the horn wire along with other wires are accessible thru the grill with a lineman’s tool.

Once they cut the horn wire the alarm is essentially disabled and they’ll just bust the damn window and jump in and go.

Thieves don’t necessarily care to take your truck. They want the easy access down here to steal what they can get their hands on. Literally takes them 5 seconds to pop the driver side lock the way it is. Why Ford hasn’t addressed this problem is beyond me. They look for easy targets in mall parking lots, restaurants. Etc.... their goal is to hit as many vehicles as possible. Breaking windows is too much trouble for them and a easier way to get caught. They hit my buddy at the La cantera mall last week. He learned the hard way. Got his 1911. 2 macs and some other shit!
