jeremybieser Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 I'm fixin to move to Houston in a couple months and was told my SS would be a prime target... Lookin for any exceptional anti-theft ideas so I don't have to keep it in a storage unit forever. Already been advised to get locking lugs but I don't want just one deterrent. Suggestions?

Elcm5590 Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 put a kill switch on it that would work perfect Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houston05tx Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 kill switch, Colum lock, armor lock(wheel lock), tailgate keeper, Jimmi Jammer, block in your truck in with another vehicle. If get any work done at a mechanic shop do not put down your home address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levilz Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 May sound dumb, but you may want to pull off your center caps and keep them on lock when you aren't driving too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremybieser Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 anyone savvy with electronics? I had envisioned a custom killswitch of (4) 4 position switches which would have to each be set to a certain position in order for the truck to start.... is such a thing even possible?

EXGM Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Or not move to Houston..... Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1BAD2K Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Best way to keep your SSS from getting stolen in California or south Texas would be to sell it lol. In the end you'll walk away with more cash then insurance is going to pay lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someotherguy Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Ravelco has been around a long time, and it seems to work very well but you may have mixed experiences based on which installer you use. Try to get some referrals/testimonials out of them if you can, and verify them. I've got a pager alarm on mine, with the tilt sensor. Of course only good if you're in range and paying attention to the remote. I worked with the installer to try harder to bury the unit so it wasn't just behind/under the dash for a thief to open up my truck and rip out the alarm with ease. Also replaced factory door handle with a keyless Escalade handle so that might (might) slow down the screwdriver operators. Wheels (aftermarket Dub Baller 22's) are installed with Gorilla locks for every lug, the ones that are round and smooth on the end and have a unique key design in the base, and the wheels have a small lug hole making it very hard to hammer a socket over the locks. I'm not finished working on the antitheft for the truck, but felt like that was a decent start. It's not very often out of my view; I try to be really careful where I leave it.
