Too bad the cameras didn't work out but at least that degenerate didn't make off with your truck.

That's cool someone actually made an alarm with that feature at one point in time. No surprise something like that was banned in California...geographically speaking, I love the state but I don't know how you guys put up with all the inept legislation.

Hey buddy, I'm going to post on my thread regarding lockers. I wondered if you might try man. My Spartan is going crazy popping all the time, on straight aways and like two and three times in a couple seconds, etc. I love the same, it never lets me down off road, but I have an opportunity to get an ARB, with a v6 carrier, for really cheap. Only problem is, I immediately got lit up with warnings from a bunch of crawlers out here near me, on instagram, who adamantly dislike ARB lockers, and who may have all kinds of problems with them. I won't go on, I'll just bring it up on my thread. Just curious what you thought.
that alarm would be pretty cool, there is a video floating around on facebook of some douchebag that locked himself in a car while trying to steal it..dumbest crook on the planet,

will check out your thread and see if I can help you out..

yessir, it would have been nice if something would have come of the cameras, but as you pointed out- truck is still in my possession, now to just keep it that way

Hoping the tweaker who messed with the trekker gets whats coming to him.

I have an old car book from the 50's that has a chapter on how to wire a coil up to your car to shock the piss out of someone messing with it.

Its a shame how easy Toyotas are to steal. Especially 80's models. I always block mine in with The Taco or 99 runner.

Yesterday a guy in my neighbor hood got his Chevy 4x4 stolen. He is just as passionate about his truck as we are our Toyotas. Got me to looking at anti theft devices now.

Neighbor 1: "Is...is it morning already?!"
Neighbor 2: "No, I think Robb's testing his lights again."

Looks good!

You know it is kind of funny a few people slowed way down.
If i had some red and blue filters I probably could have had them going the other way
