What have you done to make your truck more theft proof?

[MVI]

I do this at home.

I think it was already mentioned, but I always try use the keypad to lock the truck when I am in public. This way, thieves can't steal your FOB signal. I am not as concerned with unlocking it with the FOB, since I will be driving away immediately anyway.

I have the box at home, and a small portable one I keep in the hotel room when I travel and in motels. Also don't use the fob and lock manually

That wasn't a statement about any methods being bulletproof. It's a simple observation. I use the taillight screw upgrades, the horn upgrade, hood latch and several others.

All good. I was thinking of all the goobers on facebook.

I've yet to find a security option that defeats a tow truck.

... thats legal

on a srs note, this is the epitome of "if they want it bad enough they will get it".

At the end of the day, I think all expensive truck owners will carry sufficient insurance to cover a loss

Any theft is a pain in the ass as a time suck.

That's all folks

Are there any hidden kill switches that will still work with the remote start feature? Yeah I like a warm truck in the morning when it’s cold outside

Huh.

Well... and I'm no Zoodad, so take this w/ a grain, but... how about reassigning the panic button (red horn icon) on yer fob to trigger remotely a kill switch relay?

My wife is still in the game and has access to all the databases, LPR’s and flock cameras used to find and fuck thieves. I haven’t lost any of my guns in a boating accident, you have to get past the 135 pound cane corso to fuck with it and most importantly, I’m not a poor person so I live in an area where the only minority within thirty miles is my former beat partner.

Only one that I'm aware of is the IGLA. Not a kill switch per se, but does immobilize the vehicle. There is a car jacking module you can add that will kill the engine, but most don't install it as it can be a pain if you're one who exits the vehicle while it's running for any reason.

Nothing, insurance that I’ve paid for forever and never used can buy me a new one lol

I’m just an old Marine but in the past I have found that this has kept the bad guys away. .

That totally makes sense for anyone who hasn't done a bunch of mods. I have Travelers and they'll cover new car replacement for up to 5 years old (while most other major carriers are 2 to 3 years). I've got their max rider for aftermarket mods and that unfortunately only covers a fraction of what I've put into the truck. It is nice to not have to worry about shelling out nearly six figures for a new truck should it get stolen though as even the best security measures will not eliminate the risk.

Was only jokin around I don’t have those worries where I live I run in local stores truck running windows down, what used to make me sweat bullets was when I had my built dodges I had sickening amounts of time and money into big hp builds and was terrified if somebody ever hit me because I’d only get back a fraction of what I had into them
