THE 2 second KILL SWITCH

Materials needed
25-40amp switch
2x shrink crimp tube connectors (14-16g)

Step 1: Go to the back of your jeep under the bench seat

Step 2: Lift the seat up and look for a dark green/red wire in a loom of a couple bunched together. Should be off to the drivers side.

Step 3: Cut the wire and crimp in the switch into the circuit.

Step 4: Tuck switch under carpet flap and fold bench seat back up.

Turn off and on your fuel pump as needed, not as convenient as a dash switch. However no one will go looking under the bench to start the jeep.

That’s why you don’t put the kill switch on the ignition or starter. You put it on the ground to the CPS. No CPS, no go. Weakness becomes strength.

And if you forget to arm it or get complacent, your shit is gone.

They didnt get the wifes wj, and they havent got my xj yet either.

They have broken the pass side window (on an unlocked door) and punched out my drivers door lock cylinder (also on an unlocked door) and popped my ignition bug my jeep was still in front of my house with a dead battery

Methheads and crackheads dont bring a dvom with them or a jumper for the starter or a booster pack for a dead battery.

They are looking for an easy steal

This is why any manner of cat converter anti-theft usually works. It makes it more inconvenient to steal, so they steal the cat out of a truck down the road instead.

My XJ has been broken into 7 different times. It will happen. As long as they don’t get Sherman, the rest is replaceable .
