Anti theft/Killswitch question.

So I shipped my tacoma to the Middle East a while ago (Lebanon) and it’s a popular truck that’s stolen here and sent to Syria. I want to avoid that, what’s the best way?

I’ve never installed a Killswitch before, but any idea how to do it and what kind of materials to get? Thank you

 

They could just drag it onto a flatbed. Do they have gps vehicle location tracking devices there?

 

honestly no idea.

flatbeds are hard to move around here with the small roads. It can happen but it’s uncommon. They tend to Hotwire cars here.

 

Put a bunch of Ford emblems on it and they wont steal it .

 

hahaha

 

Pull the fuse on the ignition.

 

Find the fuel pump wire and put a inline switch with it

 

Is that wire under the hood?

 

Yeah man, don’t supply the bad guys with a Toyota truck please. They’ll convert it into a APC for the next 30 years because the truck won’t die. TOYOTA: The preferred tank for all terrorists in the world. Lmao

 

lol yeah man. Unfortunately those assholes love these things, and I don’t blame them.
Mine is the best one in the country so I’m sure it’s been noticed by bad people.

 

Putting a switch on your fuel pump is a good option as stated above. Just hide the switch location well. I bet you’d get it knocked out after some YouTube searches.

 

Thanks. Yeah I’ll probably go with this option. Hopefully I can hide the switch inside the cab somewhere.

 

Are you working for a company that utilizes leased up armored vehicles ? Do you interact with these types of vehicles and the mechanics that maintain them often ? Might be able to talk to a tech and mechanically inclined support personnel and get an idea.

 

I don’t but I know someone who does. Good idea.

 

The truck already has injector disable if the key isn't in the vehicle when started? Can that be bypassed?

In my old Mustangs, I would pull out the fuel pump relay and pocket it.
