Security System

[rpgdeity]

What is everyone doing for a security system or locks for your 715?

I was thinking about getting a wagoneer door and transplanting the square window and front corner window like what has been done before. Speaking of that, does anybody have the link to that writeup that a 715 owner did on using the wagoneer doors?

What do you guys think of a car alarm? I know this sounds stupid, but fairly soon I will have several thousand dollars worth of equipment in the cab, and I'm just paranoid anyway, lol. Anyone know about different types of alarms, think they would be effective? I thought hooking the alarm up to an air horn would make an intruder run away, and let me know, lol.

Let me hear what you think, and any other ideas.

If it weren't illegal, I'd electrify the doors and use a remote to activate. Come to think of it, you could do that with an electric cattle fence setup - not enough to kill them, but certainly enough to dissuade them.

Battery cut-offs are also popular to prevent drive-offs.

Thank you for the link, that is the one I was looking for.

Brandon, if you need a set of civilian doors I can probably help out, think I've got 3 pairs now.

If you're using a soft top, the door locks won't deter all. I've had my one Jeep accessed through the top in the past. Now I just leave the doors and console unlocked, as I also had to replace a damaged console.

A Jobox mounted in the bed works best for loose items. What are you installing in the cab...stereo equipment or something?

To protect the truck, a chain and padlock between the steering wheel and seat. Bicylce cables are perfect for this if yours doesn't already have a chain welded to the seat like mine did.

Stuff inside is fair game unless you build a locking center console or something.

You can also drill out the tabs the underbed storage locker doors latch to. I did that to mine and have a pad lock on both doors now.

22' of logging chain and a padlock run through the door handles.
Along with the pedals locked.
Should do it.
Or never leave your truck alone.

Bars and chains just thru the wheel will do nothing-They will cut the steering wheel and bend it open and remove the chain or bar-if they really want the vehicle. Key cutoffs under the hood slow them a little more.
