I am putting a kill switch is my 2002 4-Runner, the shop wants to put it in the glove box but I feel that it would be to obvious to a theft? Where would you hide it?

wtf is GEAUX? IS that net lingo for go? lol

Anyways, most guys hide it in the center console under the dash. If a thief really wants to find it though, it wont matter where you put it. If you have an alarm though, no thief is going to mess around trying to find a kill switch while the alarm is screaming at him.

 

GEAUX is french for GO, Since Louisiana is 99% Cajun French thats how we spell it on the Bayou!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for your input.

 

i would put it somewhere really random, and easy to reach like on the backrest of your seat. when your gettin in you can just reach back there and tap it and youl be off in no time.

 

You can see how cultured I am lol.

 

Are you suggesting a push button type switch are a flip type switch?

So you're letting a shop install your kill switch? You should do it your self, unless you're not electrically inclined, now the people that work there are going to know where you switch is. You should put your switch in a spot no one would ever think to look, but still accessible to you and you a toggle switch with a guard. Just my .02

 

I was thinking maybe under the seat, where do I purchase these types of switches ?????????

Thanks for the ideas

Toggle switches with covers are often referred to as aircraft toggle switches.
Lots of guys use them for nitrous system arming.
You can buy them at Pep Boys, JC Whitney, Summit Racing, and eBay to name a few places.

 

is it a good idea to post where your putting it ?

 

I also figured this was a bad thing too.

 

what year truck do you have? you might already have a built in kill switch. My 2000's key has a chip that won't let the truck start no matter what unless they have my key.

 

Ya....mine is the same way
