If you get wheel lock lugs you better make sure you keep a tidy cab cause the keys are notorious for going missing just when you need them most. My ram came from the factory with them and I ditched them on the first day. I have met people on the trail with flats and no key.
One could simply attach them to the car jack

There is, but i didnt hear the greatest feedback. It works like the "hose clamp" i used but without leaving an exposed screwdriver fitment. I guess i'm hoping a thief will give up before he takes the time to survey the situation after it wont detach (like it had the additional lock) and go back for lighting and a long screwdriver to remove the clamp if he recognizes it.... :rolleyes:
They are exactly that, glorified hose clamps. I bought one for my F150 and it wasn't worth the effort to return it.

Car Alarm? With the most obnoxious warning and volume set to highest level and motion sensor on most sensitive setting. :LOL: Won't make you any friends in the building if it goes off all the time, but you will be doing everyone a favor if it scares off thieves looking for an easy quick hit with little chance of being caught. If you have line of sight from your window you can easily see if it is false alarm and disable with your remote. Down here in SW CO we have gun racks in the back window and "Protected by Smith & Wesson" stickers that seems to help ;)
Friend of mine went with car alarm and was away from home without his car and when he returned one of his neighbors had taken an axe to the hood until they cut the battery cable.
