I like that idea, but sadly it's against the law, lol

Y? And how do we amend this? The ******* in government irritate the vagisil outta me.

Bigger concern is that alarm never sounded. It was set. So my question is 1, why didn't alarm sound (factory)...

I wander why you factory alarm did not go off.

Reason is that when they use the screw driver method, it's as if you unlocked the door manually from inside. The truck doesn't know the difference.

How about electrically charged door handles?

@The Car Stereo Company already has this listed on his website!

Yep....

I'm getting a red whelen blinky light installed. lol... cause I like everything whelen.

I also installed Jimmi Jammers on all the doors, hood, and tailgate.

Jimmi Jammer Passive Truck, Car and SUV Security

These Jimmi Jammers protect your locks from being punched with a screwdriver, like what happened to Wassy.

I recently discovered that the Jimmi Jammers DO NOT protect against the slim jim. So I just installed a protective cover around the door lock rods inside the door.

I installed the jimmi jammers as well. A fairly easy mod and well worth it in my opinion.

Any recommendations on the fake alarm light?

If you are asking about the one in the picture I posted, that ain't fake, that is a real alarm light for the Ford upgraded alarm system with smart phone remote start.

Wolf has the same thing as myself, just they installed the security light in a different location. I put the light in myself and it was rather simple to do, just pop off the plastic gauge cluster cover and right in the center next to the clip you can drill the 9/32 hole to put the light and can be see easily from the outside. It is open under that cover so the cable just drops down though a hole and plugs into the module.

Yep. Rick's location is definitely more visible than having the LED on the steering column cover. I added a leather cover from RCE to the gauge cluster cover, so the leather would need a hole for the LED if it had been there. I still think about adding a second LED but haven't gotten around to it.

What about taking something off the truck?

I know when I lived in Cali and had to park my CBR outside, I always removed a relay switch so it wouldn't start. One night it paid off! Anything like that we can do on our Raptor?

They make switches for hot rods - like a master switch - that disables the starter. But I know some of the rods don't have the complicated electronics like our trucks. But I would think that a heavy switch could be used to at least disable the starter cable. What do you think @The Car Stereo Company
