You are correct, it's 4^4, not 4*4If I understand correctly, 4 pins and 4 possible positions for each pin would actually be 256 combinations. 2 pins with 4 possible positions would equal 16 combinations.

Extended range only helps someone using a relay attack (which is more common than you think). When not in use, I keep my fob in a Faraday Cage type bag.You can buy a radio signal booster and boost signal of key in the house to open doors or start it.

I've heard stories of people putting post it notes on the inside of the windows that saysMy 2-cents;
If your Jeep is topless, assume you have no locking storage. In fact, it's best to not even try to lock your storage. From personal experience I've had idiots break the plastic locks on both my glove box and center console on prior Jeeps looking for god knows what. Now I'd rather just leave it unlocked and let them see that it's just insurance paperwork.
Same with the top and doors. If you've got a soft top, just don't lock the thing. Too many fools will slice the top with a knife to break into it. Better to just leave the vehicle unlocked IMHO.
That Atticus is one good lookin pup! I have an Axel...95# Dobie for that task.I fully understand the vulnerability of all motor vehicles. Take this for example: When I was working the street I caught a suspected car thief with a large amount of broken pieces of porcelain from used spark plugs in his pocket. I asked him what it was for and after a while he admitted that if he just threw a piece of porcelain at a car window it would click, and then all he had to do was push in on the window and the window would shatter. he called it "Shatter Rock". We went to the local junk yard and sure enough it worked! We booked him for possession of burglary tools and he was convicted. The case went through several appeals and was finally upheld. Point is, in what manner do these people find out how to use commonly found substances to defeat what is engineered by experts to protect, and.... there is no lock or mechanism that will fully protect your Jeep or any other vehicle for that matter.
At home, I use an Atticus. Works just fine and after one would be burglar got his ass significantly mauled the word got out. I told him as the paramedics were stuffing packing in a fist sized hole that should he return, Atticus had the green light to finish the effing job. Lights, cameras, vigilance, and an Atticus have served me well.
Love those German DogsThat Atticus is one good lookin pup! I have an Axel...95# Dobie for that task.
I wonder how feasible it would be to wire in a sound recorder that played the sound of a rattlesnake when the doors were opened? lol. Might just scare a burglar off.I'm surprised no Jeep owner has a pet rattle snake they let sleep in their Jeeps - might help prevent rummaging inside, or if not, you'd soon know who was doing the rummaging.
I'd leave the windows down, in my LJ when I had the soft top on. I don't remember ever locking the doors and had to tell a army buddy to not lock the door. I've got the Tuffy security drawer in back, glove box and console plus gas cap lid. None of them are secure from a determined thief. Remember to always keep a backhoe and land available.I've heard stories of people putting post it notes on the inside of the windows that says
" Doors unlocked. please don't cut the top. Nothing valuable inside. You are free to check. "
