Its awesome. I have been wanting do this for a while and this just interupts the starter not the computer or anything else! $10 and some change. I recoment it

xjbuddy

ok what is it?? and where did you get it??

Where are the pics, you got some???

ok so I obviously dont want to give away too much info but if you go to an auto store, buy 1 50 AMP heavy duty switch with 2 connections, 8' of 10 gauge wire (8' will get you a switch in the front half of your vehicle), you need 3 of those connctors that are for wire crimping on one side and a hoop on the other to secure with a screw, and one of the double end crimpers to join two ends together. (get the crimping stuff to fit your screws on the switch and the wire gauge) all that for 10$ and get some E tape if you dont have any

ok so disconnect the battery!!!! crawl under your rig and look at your starter. there are three connections. 2 big on top and 1 small on bottom. disconnect the small wire and set it to the side for later. take one end of your 8 gauge and put a hoop crimp on the end (crimp it with death grip and e tape it bombproof) then connect that to the starter where you just removed the wire.

then find somewhere to run the wire through the firewall. for my fog and overhead lights I ran the wires through the firewall by the drivers side but not on this one. once in cab. cut the wire ing a long enough tail to make it back toward starter. then strip 1/4 inch of the wire off on both ends you just created. put te remaining 2 crimp hoops on the ends and screw them to the switch and E Tape each side seperatly so there isnt any metal showing (it doesnt matter wich side of the wire goes to what connection.

then run the tail back toward starter. cut off the crimp hoop on the origonal starter connection. strip 1/4 inch off of both wires and connect them together with a double side crimp and E tape it REALLY omb proof. just think of all of the mud and water it will see so do a good job

reconnect battery, test the switch both on and off, if it works good job! all you have to do now is mount the switch in an undisclosed location!

I was thinking of doing something like that, but also a bypass on the fuel line

I didnt want to mess with my compyter or fuel stuff. especially draininthe lines

hmmm so somebody cant steal your jeep?

Troth

thats the Idea. but if its a prfessional, they can get any car

Puertorricancherokee

Hey, if they are going to steal it anyway, might make it hard fot them, right???

When you hit the switch while the vehicle is running, doesn't it shut the engine off?

Puertorricancherokee

maybe not, put a screwdriver between the contacts on the starter, and there you go!

I've seen it where dudes just roll up in a tiltback, chain up the car, get it on the trailer, and go.

less than one minute, no hotwiring, no broken windows, hardly any evidence at all, and your car is gone forever.

I take a different approach to security though...

I don't have a Car Alarm, I have an AK-74...

I also don't dial 911, I dial .357...

My House Alarm is a 12 Guage...

I Don't need bars over my bedroom window to help me sleep at night, I need my 20 Guage at the edge of my bed...


Lastly, to the OP, a diagram would be awesome! Even if it's MS Paint...

Troth

exactly... I brandish fire arms! arc starting wont work they would need the key, a second person and to diable the kill switch. thats couple minutes at least and I have an alarm an acurate pistol

if you disengage the switch when its running nothing happens

you could turn your kill on start your car and turn it bck off for next time

I always did the kill switch as a break in the positive wire to the ignition i believe. it's been a while and i'm too lazy to crawl under the dash in my super beetle.

It's all bs. All the firearms in the world won't help if they steal your Jeep when you're not around. I don't think I've heard of a car thief who takes a vehicle while the owner is a spectator.
