I'd like to know about this too. I know there are write-ups out there, but its good to know if there is anything specific about the XJs. My door locks are kind of funny some times and it'd be good to know that i can flip the kill switch before i get out and at least know that they can steal the stuff inside the Jeep, but not be able to steal the Jeep

I would suggest another wire, ignition, for example.
Engine can be started by a screwdriver under hood.

Just get a battery shut off switch from Jegs or Summit and install it in a hidden location. No power no stealing lol

Fuel pump us another one, lots of places you could go to for a kill switch. The most important thing to remember is which ever one(s) you chose make sure it's well hidden, not just a simple reach under the dash a flip it deal. Unless maybe you have more then one.

Fuel pump won't be a bad idea either. Which ever is easier

Fuel pump relay - you can wire up a kill switch or just pocket it with you. Same goes for the ASD relay. Lots of info on here about both.

tip: search google for what you want and add "site:cherokeeforum.com" to exclude the idiots from Yahoo Answers etc.
