Sorry for the late reply....Daniel..I went with the Warn plate and the Badlands Apex 12000Appreciate the responses so far - great info here.
Yeah, I've heard it can be a pain to put in, but that's good to know that means it'll be just as hard to get out. Out of curiosity, which winch/winch plates did the two of you go with it given you both have the factory bumpers?
Thanks for the product-specific call out - I knew there were locking bolts, but just didn't know what to search for. Sounds like I could add one of these and it would be crazy secure.
Congrats, you win the award for the least helpful post.
Which alarm did you use exactly and do you have to carry an additional fob now?I put a gas cap Cover (not just a cap) on that locks. People dont even bother because it looks like a pain the Butt to open (but its not). I also put a major Viper alarm and GPS system with remote start and engine kill. If the jeep gets a bump it goes off, but I dont have it set to go off when the wind blows. But its full blown, Touch my Jeep and I will know. Just gotta pay attention to your phone. Oh and thats another $100 per year. But if I can sleep at night its worth it. I remember I used to just leave my keys in my Jeep. The only time it came up missing a friend took it to pull his wifes cars off an icy road, he filled it and left it where it was. The good old days.
Yes I do have to carry an additional FOB. But the damn Jeep FOB is huge anyway. It has not been an issue. What I like about it, I can be in Japan and know if I have an alarm in Phoenix....Which alarm did you use exactly and do you have to carry an additional fob now?
Isn't this why we pay for insurance? Having said that, I have a hood lock and locking gas cap in the closet for when my Jeep arrives. The gas cap is less about gas being stolen and more about the fact that we live near several colleges and drunk, bored college kids like to mess with stuff. But, I ordered a soft top, so obviously not that concerned about security overall.For those of you that street park your Jeeps (no garage access), what precautions are you taking to secure your vehicle? I'm particularly interested if, any, additional safety measures those of you with winches have taken, as I'm looking to get one in the next couple of weeks and have read multiple horror stories on the interwebs of people having them stolen off their vehicles.
I ordered a hood lock today, and have the mopar locking lug nuts on the tires and spare. I'm not too concerned about people stealing my gas (plus that seems like a pain to have to constantly unlock/lock whenever I fill up). Are there any other recommendations that people have to add? My neighborhood isn't necessarily bad, but shit happens in the city of Chicago all the time, so I lean towards being overly cautious.
