Glad you got it back.
Re: Wheels,
I wonder how often stock aluminum alloy wheels get stolen.
Yes, kill switchES, but don't publish where you hide them. Forums are required reading in Car Theft 101 - LOL!
My 4runner was stolen!!!

"Under the dash" is a very vague description. Believe me, it took me the better part of two weeks to be able to find the switch every time when it was first installed. If anyone wants to TRY to steal it again, they better have a flatbed tow-truck...and they better decide if my rig is worth their life...
I had a 67 oldsmobile with a kill switch but it was wired to the coil. I would recommend it. I know you will sleep better.

This is genious, if you had 4 switches that had to be in the right sequence, that would be 2*2*2*2 (2 positions per switch) so that's 16 different combos. The average theif would probably not understand how it works and how to correctly go through every sequence, you could even throw some fake ones in there to confuse the hell out of him lol.

Thanks everyone! Bit of a delay on updating this thread. I installed a kill switch (somewhere) and I feel much better about that. Only my good friend and I know where it is, and let me tell you...it's not where you think.
I got some one of those locking lug-nuts for every lug, but I've had my tired rotated a couple of time and the guy didn't seem to happy to have to deal with a locker on every nut. I may replace some of them so there are only 2 per wheel.
Any advice on how to lock out the spare? It's easy to just undo. I have KO2s on there, so it's not as pricey as what was on there before. Hoping my rig isn't as 'tasty' to thieves.
I actually bailed out of socal and moved back to TN. If anyone is around there, let's meet up and hit a trail!!
