If you make yours difficult to take, they will move on and take the other guys (unless yours is REALLY DECKED OUT).

With this in mind, we should all be mindful of the personal info we post. I have seen some posts (and some info in the profile) that makes it easy to find personal addresses. Stories have circulated that some thefts have occurred by thieves targeting specific trucks after reading about them on forums. Not to be paranoid - just something to consider.

This is my preference for a deterent:

This isn't entirely true here in Arizona. These trucks are being stolen to smuggle drugs/people. All they want is for it to be 4wd to cross the desert. Not so much the *bLiNg*

Great Catch!

My Typo ............... the IDM relay is #304 (relay numbers and positions are on the top of the relay box, but hard to see). The relay box is up against the fire wall on the drivers side.

Sorry for my mistake. Pull the relay and all it will do is crank.
