Doors off, how do you secure your Jeep?

[LOL WUT]

I leave our wolf inside as a security measure.

Lock the things that can be locked. Don't make it appealing to sticky fingers. Cab covers make it less visible to passers-by. My tube doors stay locked, I just use the inside handle to unlock. I do have a 360° always record dash cam

Granted I'm not yet doors off but I do tend to leave the Sunrider and windows open.

A determined thief is going to get in no matter what but most grab and go's are crimes of opportunity so don't give them anything to grab.

-No valuables in sight
-Lock the rear under seat bins
-Fuzzbuster goes in the Console Vault
-Locking hood latches
-Always arm the alarm with the fob.

I do plan on getting the Tazer No Limitz in the near future as an added level.

FYI if someone has the ability to spoof your FOB, the truck WILL start. At least a manual transmission one will. And it will disable the alarm once started. I thought this would work too until I tried it, but nope, maybe the automatic models don't do this.


I plan on getting the NoLimitz module from a vendor that makes the Tazer. Combined they basically make the truck a brick. Obviously an educated/determined thief will take what they want, but for most, they get a brick and you get added features like a Valet/Teen (borrowed) mode you can adjust and other things like removing torque limits and keep the PCM from showing it's been tuned when checked.

I’m not sure that a key FOB can be spoofed unless a thief has the ability to intercept the constant RFI FOB output, but I may be wrong. The way to mitigate intercepting of FOB output is of course to keep the FOB in a faraday bag, which I’m sure all are aware of. I keep my FOBs, while on person and at home, in a faraday bag. I only take out of their individual bag when I need to get into the vehicle and/or start. Once started it goes back into the bag. Yes, if the vehicle can’t detect the FOB it will tell you but that’s easily dismissed and of course lets you know the faraday bag is working as intended. NOTE: thieves that have the ability to intercept and store the continuous FOB output can intercept from across the street up to 300 feet so it’s important to store at home in their own faraday bags as well. The bags fit neatly in your pocket. Note 2: using a quality lockable OBD port cover is a must as well because thieves can plug into the port and access the vehicle that way. Both the bags and port covers can be found on Amazon (Wisdompro faraday bag and JUTA obdII lock pro aluminum alloy port cover I’ve found to be the best). Happy and safe Jeeping!

I have doors and top off all summer (wife & I have 3 vehicles).

Lock the glovebox, console, and rear seats. Bed has a tonneau cover, and I lock the tailgate.

Never had an issue going to the supermarket, etc. I wouldn’t park it somewhere at night for long.

Oh, I have a manual, so I don’t worry as much about someone driving it off!

 

[PBCounty]

I don't. Even with the doors on I don't bother with my manual door locks. It's always unlocked.

Not sure about newer models but on my 2021 Mojave, you can’t lock the center console and locking the rear seats only prevents the seat backs from folding forward. The seat bottoms have no lock.

My 2021 rubicon has a locking center console. And the seats and glove box.

Additionally, as others have said, adding a kill switch, adding Bolt locking hood latch, for me a Tazer with pin lock turned on, and finally manual transmission, as many don't know how to drive a stick anymore. I have the Tazer mounted in a security case, so it adds more time to bypass. Down in South Texas, Gladiators are #2 for most stolen vehicle. Key fob cloning can happen if the thief is that serious. Layer your security.

I’d be able to steal it. Actually no. But if I had the key I’d be able to shift it no problem. But I’m old.

Plus you gave them the instructions. You should swap your sticker with a QR code, that simply takes them to a picture of a shift pattern, with a middle finger next to it.

The only security is trust in my fellow man. If I'm going somewhere I don't trust, I take a different vehicle.

I’m not a huge fan of mine being parked at night in Denver. That’s a “normal who cares car” day. Unless I need a truck and/or trailer. But it’s coming straight home anyway then.

Just like to thank all the responders. Helpful info, much appreciated!

There's words along with the picture, words are hard for some. I do like that idea with the accented finger, but I do have to keep it PG road friendly.

Yeah. I’d only do the pg 13 stuff via QR code.
