Jeep Theft Prevention?

[Jammer]

Get full coverage insurance and move on. Enjoy the thing for the memories and experiences you have with it. If it gets yonked, get another one. Some are more special than others, but they’re all replaceable.
Yes, I do have some sentimental vehicles. They get driven. If they get wrecked or stolen, I’d be crushed. But, I’ll still have the memories and stories. It’s not worth it to me to keep them hidden away in order to keep them “safe.”

When your insurance rates go up through the roof because you made a figure 60 or more $1,000 claim you'll be the one complaining about why It went up.

I love the Trunk Monkey. Classic favorite.
As long as you have good insurance you should be fine. Can't get too attached to material things. Just don't make it too easy for a thief to rip-off your car or Jeep. If anyone wants something bad enough they are going to get/take it anyway.

Insurance is so expensive now one claim and your insurance rates go up very high no matter who you're insured with. Even accidents that are your fault you still got rates that go up because they'll say you're in the wrong spot the wrong time it's just the way it is. My sister sells insurance for 45 years she hears it all the time people complaining. What you have a claim for 50 or 60,000 you don't think your rates are going to go way up of course they are talk to any agent and see what they tell you so insure it but try to keep it from getting stolen don't just not worry about it

Well. I suppose ya can complain about theft or insurance costs. This is a "forum" after all.

Take all the lugnuts off before you walk away. If someone tries to steal it, they won't get too far.

Anyone who’s missed that many periods has got to be pregnant…..

But seriously and no offense intended but it’s not “help” if the lack of punctuation makes it unreadable mate.

I’m not really clear on what you’re trying to say here, but I think you make a pretty big leap at the end. I have no problem with insurance going up. It’s a competitive market and I’m capable of shopping around or making policy coverage adjustments. The purpose of insurance is to transfer risk that I don’t want to have in my life (the cash value of a stolen vehicle in this case) to someone else (the insurance company) for an agreed upon rate (the premium). I’m not required to have replacement insurance, it’s a choice. A choice I make because I don’t want to deal with using a club every time I park my Jeep outside with doors or a roof off of it. Everyone gets to choose there own path. Hopefully everyone can find something that works well for them.

I’m not too concerned with a thief taking it, but if they do, an Apple AirTag or a SpotMinder will let you know where to tell the cops its current location before the skells realize it.

It is why I pay so much for insurance.
To repair or replace.

There's two different types of break ins. Crack heads going through the interior for anything worth $20. And professional thieves with a blank key which they program once they have access to the star connector.

Hood alarm is off by default. (Why?). Here's what I did in JScan to enable mine.

For my insurance cost 24% is personal injury, 16% property damage, 13% comprehensive, 40% collision, 7% uninsured motorist. So only 13% of what I pay for insurance is related to theft. With my observation of how people drive around LA every day I'm not surprised that claims for collisions is far greater than those for theft.

I’m looking for ways to keep my Jeep from being ripped off. I already have a club, but I don’t like it because it rubs my steering wheel hub and is jacking it up. I’ll be looking for another one with different proportions. Any suggestions for Killswitch? Or another way to help prevent theft. Thanks for any advice!

This is what I use along with other devises.

EVT check with a dealer that knows what it is and they can install it . It's about $500 for the equipment that's $150 a year. Is a GPS live tracking device. Even if they tow the vehicle the second the vehicle starts moving it will recognize that it's moving without the ignition of being started and notify you and the monitoring company immediately. Telling you that the vehicles moving and them without being started they will call you first because sometimes every now and then if it doesn't turn off I've been driving down the road and they'll call me unless still and ask me are you in the vehicle and I'll say yes they'll say okay didn't turn off for some reason that happens but it will tell you and them that the vehicles movie and it wasn't turned off the ignition is not on and then if they don't get a hold of you they are calling the police immediately or the minute you tell them you're on the vehicle it works they found vehicles that were stolen on the lot at dealers in Mexico and actually gone over and got them and brought them back. Or you can buy another one from alarm companies out there that sell GPS tracking it's worth it for people to say all I got insurance I don't care yeah you'll think that when you make a claim for about $50,000 or more and your insurance goes up my sister still sees it all the time as an agent for insurance company people complaining what do you mean my insurance went up that much that's $200 more month well yeah you just had a claim for $50,000 or more you don't want to claim on your record I'm telling you doesn't matter if it's your fault or not just like Rex if you have wrecks on your record and you're not at all it still counts against you wrong spot wrong time you get a that's on your record your insurance won't go up no matter what because then you're high risk they look at it to insure. look all your dealer if you are silver dealers if they don't know till you find one it's called EVT. Like I said you can also put in a valet mode where if the vehicle also leaves in the area that you have put in a fence within three miles and notifies you like a valet guy if he's taking a vehicle and driving it around it will tell you you can look at your vehicle 24/7 and see exactly where it's at. What I was getting warranty work one time at the dealer and they said it would sit a couple days cuz they were behind and stacked up with vehicle and they told me one day that they had it in the shop they were looking at it today or that day and I told them you're not telling the truth my vehicle still sitting in the back here we were back a lot where it was the day you all parked it it hasn't moved at all I caught that lying it's the best thing going kill switches malfunction they can still tow it if your vehicle gets towed the minute it's towed it notifies them even if it's hot wired or computer thing they steal them and started and drove off it's got a notify you immediately you will see live tracking of you vehicle where they install the device it's way up under behind the dash where no one else is there it's worth looking into or contact alarm company alarm shop out there that has their own GPS it's the best way to go don't have a claim like some people say they don't care they have insurance that's what it's for yeah and your rates will go up then they're the ones that complain

Just don't take it to Canada and you should be fine.

Hood lock, Tazer PIN and Ravelco. Those will protect it as much as possible against any theft attempt other than towing.
The Tazer is good against car jacking and Ravelco for when it's parked.
