truck security

Put a toggle switch on the ignition wire to the distributor. Put the toggle switch some place inconspicuous like under the dash. If you do go the air raid siren hooked to a CO2 bottle, make sure you also time it with a hidden camera. The look on the theives face prior to/while soiling themself would be priceless. Put that video on myspace and see how many cars he steals after that.

But then the seat cleaning fees stack up.

If you put a delay on it you might have some seat cleaning. If it's instant with the dome light they'll never get to the seat.

I've heard some great stories about air horns used as security measures, reportedly they're hard to beat. It'd be super great if you had it on a 30 second or so delay, but just before the air horn is set to go off the doors lock, the window regulators are stuck up (somehow) and all power is killed so no light inside the cab. Let him stay in the cab until his ears bleed!

Got me rolling, I can just picture that.

Thanks Dustin I needed that1

Funny, i actually have a set of air horns on my '71 racer that i just put on, with a tank at 140psi in the bed, and electric valve that could very easily be wired into the dome light with 2 feet of wire. That would be priceless. Only problem is i actually decided to mount hte horns in the engine bay, not inside. Maybe i can rearrange that.

Either way, I would want to be driving around in a car with those horns going. The poe-poe might find it a bit suspicious. Wait, the horns would go off when the door closes.

Hook it up to two things:
A. A dome dimmer switch from LMC so it starts after they're in the truck.
B. A toggle switch so it doesn't go off on you.

get a cougar like in talladega nights

I plan on moving the battery and starter solinod from under the hood, putting in a alarm that will kill the power to the truck if it goes off but leave the alram powered up, a horn inside the cab and outside under the hood.

If you're truck looks like this, theives wont want to risk encountering the owner.
