Hi everybody, I'm new here and this is my first post. There is an easy way to make that with very low cost. You can disconnect the engine ignition system, the fuel injection pump, the clutch safety relay or all of them at the same time, using a hidden magnetic swith that you can activate with a little magnet. Description and schemes are quite long, so I'll post them only if any of you are interested.

Well-- I have it planned out... going with the fuel pump.
In doing 'research' , I dissected the power distributon center (PDC -- the fuse/relay box) found what wire runs between the pump and PDC.
It is dark blue with an orange stripe-- about 14 gauge.
Anyway-- what happens when the pump circut is broken and the engine is cranked, well, first of all it doesn't run (it may for a second, until it runs out of fuel pressure)... then the wierd thing is that it keeps cranking all by itself!. This also happens when the automatic shut down (ASD) relay is removed, if you want to experience it yourself!
I can't express the how the stomach drop felt when I cut that wire.
The good news is it works!

The good news is it works!Where did you wire the switch/cut the wire, if you mind me asking?
As a side note, it did work, twice. Window broken, door ajar, jeep still parked. very nice....

I bought this a couple months back and haven't installed it yet. Its a magnet style interrupter that will only start once you place a magnet against the position you select. I hope to have it installed soon as I am currently doing alot of electrical wiring on the jeep to get all my switches installed.
