Nice truck, what are your plans for it or are you going to keep it standard?

Welcome to the forum pal, I would get a remover able boss and some extra security on this. We are having a fare share of these been stolen, I was hit in jan this year sadly. I am back in another one now and the 1st thing I did was update the security, they (unts got away with the 1st one, but they are not getting away with this one.

Thanks all for the warm welcome.
Plans in the short term are to leave standard, but no doubt a few cosmetic tweaks here and there. Long term I’d like to change the roof colour and alloy wheels to black. First thing is security... please what works and what have you folks done? Considering a tracker? But really want to stop them in the first place. So where to look? Immobilisers, electronic or just a great big pedal lock? Been looking into security hinges and brackets too. All advice gladly and thankfully received. Mark |

In my opinion with regards to security I would go for a minimum of removable steering wheel and Optimil lock, quality pedal lock and tracker.
If you have the luxury of a garage or other secure building all the better, if not consider driveway alarm and security lights. I think everyone on this forum would agree, the more layers of security the better. Defender 90XS SW Mini Countryman Cooper S Morgan Plus 8 |

As said already plus a decent telescopic security bollard. That and the latest Clifford alarm/immobiliser are my recommendations.
