theft prevention?

[thixon]

Still another option

I've used this one on numerous brit cars over the years. If you are truly worried about theft, this one is great. Even the tricky theives who think they know all the trick don't think of this one.

Can the old mechanical fuel pump, and go to an electric clicker. Install a toggel switch under the front seat (inside the tool box or something), or somewhere out of sight. When you park it, hit the switch, and disable the fuel pump. They can hotwire to their hearts content, but the truck aint going anywhere without to towtruck. Most people will never think of this, and you can install the switch virtually anywhere.

Not quite, but she is very good at indicating that we should set a place for her to eat at the dinner table. Bones and all that doggy stuff are great but she will kill for Indian food.

She doesn't usually get any because the doggy farts afterwards can clear a building. Hmmm there's an idea for an anti theft system.

Has anyone had or heard of a Series LR being stolen in the states?

wouldn't ya just hate to be the first? granted the multi shifters are intimidating when first encountered but the ease of starting w/o a key and my remembering what a jerk of a teenager i was has me worried just a bit about joy riders. i usually don't go to all this trouble but i had to leave it at an airport for 2 1/2 days

[greenmeanie]

If I'm leaving mine for a length of time at the airport or something I just do a little mod like pulling the dizzy rotor out. They can try and try but she just won't start.

Of course if she goes missing now I'll be phoning 4flattyres.

Has anyone put a cut-off valve in the fuel system? I was considering using a globe valve mounted on the frame with a non-descript choke linkage to open and close it remotely. any thoughts?

i put in a second tank, used a dual tank valve off an early 70s ford pick up. it has 2 off, 1 left and 1 right tank position. the lever stick thru the right hand e-brake plate on the seat box just below passenger seat. there are no markings so if i put it on one of the off positions the old truck will start and only run for about 3 minutes. i also have a 2nd sediment bowl that i got at napa that has a a pepcock on it that can be used to shut off the fuel line

for the best theft prevention always park ammoungst freinds

[badvibes]

Nice Scotty! I thought maybe it'd be you and the Princess in convoy with some Hummers. Reminds me of the rules of gunfighting that says something like "bring as many of your friends with longarms with you as you can." I'd say that one in the background qualifies.

The previous owner of my rover installed a Jacobs Ignition with a hidden micro kill switch. Turn it off an no one is starting it.

I would say a master battery disconnect and I love the idea of putting it in Low Range! Now that is one smart move!

[JimCT]

yes!

Had my bug eye '68 stolen from my gf's driveway with the keys in the ignition, kids rolled it down the road but could not figure out it was push button start! Lost a few odds and ends but the truck was fine.
