RS3000 or The CLub?
Actually I could care less about the club, but I see alot of people still using them. My used 98 4Runner came with the RS3000, and I was just wondering if it was any good? How easy would it be for someone to steal a 4Runner either with or without a alarm? Just curious I know my old jimmy would have been a piece of cake.

If someone wants your truck, they will get it.
The easiest way to snag a vehicle these days is to just back up a tow truck to it and pull. I've seen it happen _many_ times on authorized tows. The tow trucks are running down the street with the car alarms blaring or The Clubs still locked on the steering wheel. People standing on the sidewalk, even at stoplights, just watch them go by.
The alarm is probably your best bet. At least you may scare away an amateur, where with The Club, you can only hope on getting your car back with a cut steering wheel. Clubs offer a LOT less protection than you may think.

On another note, if you're worried about your truck, get insurance, that's what it's for.

Not worried just curious. When I worked at the shop I knew a tow truck driver who wanted me to help him out with repops, but one of his stories involved someone shooting at him as he drove away with their car on the hook!
So I declined! He would hook them up quick, run them around the corner or down a few blocks then hook them up tight and away he went.
