Re: Secure Hard Door Locks
 

Ever since some scumbag crackhead broke into my Jeep in Washington DC,
I've wanted to get a set of these:

Whoever broke into my Jeep did it for a less-than-$10 hydraulic jack
from Pep Boys. My work paycheck was in the cupholder (I was only gone
a few minutes) and they didn't take that! One of these days (when it's
too old to use anymore)I'm going to fill it with cyanide gas and leave
it in SE DC.

Re: Secure Hard Door Locks
 

I'm in Winnipeg, MB. Last I heard we were the worst ...altho maybe not
anymore? Either way ...we're definitely in the top 5.

I'd say the box is about 3-4' long, 14-16" wide and 10-12" deep. Stores a
LOT of stuff. No idea what it was used for but it's in mint shape. No rust
....just a few scratches. It's not quite as heavy duty as the actually "ammo"
boxes, so maybe it was an army storage unit. But it's strong enough to keep
quick-thieves out.

Use grease on any bolts you install, especially through the frame. It took
me an hour to get my two front seats out. After greasing the bolts when I
reinstalled them, the job takes less than 2 min per seat. Grease is my
friend.

Re: Secure Hard Door Locks
 

That only prevents door theft via removal of the doors. Still easy to get
into the Jeep via the lock.

Well, not that I'd do anything like this but you could hook
one of these up. It serves two purposes. Keeps dogs from
pissing on the rims and thieves from prying the doors.
