Yup I know all about not leaving anything inside when I was searching for a wrangler (don't hate!) plus my headunit is detachable.

Kill switch wouldn't hurt either, already got one on my fuel pump. I haven't looked at disconnects yet, might not get the mod done until Summer.

Even simpler then a kill switch just pop the hood and switch two wires on the distributor. Jeep will crank but won't turn over

im sure in most they were. when i first got it. it broke down on me outsdie my friends apartment. the fuel line came off the filter cuz the PO didnt put the right clamp on. I was leakin gas everywhere. i went underneath. Jammed it back on. started it up. backed off the curb and put it in front of the office. called my dad(i happened to be in my parents town) he drove me to Oriellys. i walked RIHT into an armed robbery. didnt even realize it til there was a sawed off shotgun pointed at my face.

Ditch the gc plugs. Do what I did and go to the junkyard take off the kick panels of an xj and cut out the factory plugs. There will be 3. Soldier them in right where the loom goes to the door and viola. Disconnect the three pop your door off. And visa versa. The passenger plugs are a huge PITA! so I went into 2 XJ's and tool two drivers side setups. Get yourself some but connectors but not the cheapo ones. Get the ones with soldier cores and heat shrink like I did and they will be a permanent solution.

lol i backed off. my first thought was "RUN" my second "wait i dont wanna get shot" i considered sprayin him in the face with a can of carb cleaner. but that would end with him firing blindly. he got all the money. and walked out like it was nutin.l the manager(who had abandoned the store and ran like hell out the door) came back.
I paid for a 10 cent hose clamp with a debit... i worked at the car parts store down the street. so i called em and warned em that he was headin there way. cuz i know they had THOUSANDS in their tills.
one thing i noticed besides his description. he didnt know how to use the gun. he held it ...wrong. lke he made sure everyone saw it. but he didnt have the stance to it and i am pretty sure he was terrified of firing it.
