First mods to my new Rubi
 

Having owned a TJ for 6 yrs now, I know there are some things I want to
do right away, and other things I want to do even sooner than that.
But, there are some things that I am not sure about.

First off, I should be picking it up on Tuesday. Do I want to take it
somewhere to have it undercoated?? If so, is there a specific company
(like Ziebart) in the NJ area that I would be best using?

Second, is there some type of interior coating (under the carpeting)
that helps to insulate against road noise?? Not so much for me, but the
wife. We drive everywhere for vacation and she has trouble sleeping
with all the road noise from the MT/Rs on my Sport. So, I figured
before I start running CB cables and such it might be best to do some
noise damping first, if such a thing exists.

Third, alarm systems. I have one in my Sport now, even has a remote
start module. I got the alarm from Crutchfield with the nice plug and
play harness. But when I called Crutchfield regarding the remote
starter (3 years after the initial alarm install), they had stopped
carrying it because so many people had trouble installing it. So, I was
forced to order one from my local stereo shop, and then left to splice
away since they didn't offer the nice plug and play harness like
Crutchfield used to. I guess my question is does anyone have a
recommendation for an alarm with a remote start that offers a plug and
play harness?. I hate cutting into the ignition wires and such if it's
not absolutely necessary.

That's all for now, though I am sure there will be more real soon!

TIA,

Jay

Re: First mods to my new Rubi
 

Will your Rubi have a Sentry key engine immobilizer? If so then I've read
that you may have to make your alarm play with it in order to make it work.

Let me know what you find - I'm definately interested in putting an alarm
with a proximity sensor in my new TJ (will be ordered on Monday).

Re: First mods to my new Rubi
 

No Sentry key. I almost ordered it, then I realized what a headache
that may cause for the remote start. My current alarm has a zone
sensor. If you get too close the first zone chirps you a warning. If
you get in the Jeep (like when you have the doors off) the second zone
trips the alarm. It's a really nice setup, I just wish I could get my
hands on that harness for the starter so I don't have to go cutting
ignition wires again. Although, having done it once already I would
have a model to look at while I do the new one. ;-)
