If you lived outside of the snowbelt, I would suggest taking a bye on the
undercoating. It isn't needed. Having said that, I have no idea what the
salt does.

you look long enough.

Is this really a Jeep question, or is it a remote starter/alarm system
question? There are many variables that go into the answer for this sort of
thing, and the variables that are important to me are likely not very
important to you.

Re: First mods to my new Rubi
This sort of thing is better answered by the guys at the alarm stores. They
should know what the systems are that come on the vehicle, and what is
needed to play well together with their stuff.

Re: First mods to my new Rubi
This sort of thing is better answered by the guys at the alarm stores. They
should know what the systems are that come on the vehicle, and what is
needed to play well together with their stuff.

Re: First mods to my new Rubi
Thanks for the input. I guess the alarm question wasn't well stated.
I've been lurking in here for at least 4 years, and I've read of several
guys putting alarms and remote starters on their Jeeps. So I was
curious as to just which ones some of these Jeepers have used. Just to
clarify, I did the install of the plug and play alarm on my '98
Wrangler, and then I did the splicing install of the remote starter
later on the same vehicle. But moisture getting into those connections
and such can wreak havoc on a vehicle's electrical system. A little bit
of corrosion in one of those connections can cause enough of a voltage
drop to kill the ignition. And that would just suck. So, if I don't
have to go cutting into the wires on the new Jeep I'd be much happier,
not to mention it would save me some time.
