I use the hitch safe every day when I go surfing. It does have a rubber cap that covers the front so you can't tell. It is a little over priced but it is better than just putting the keyes in the gas door or some other random spot on the jeep. Even bashing it with a hammer to get it open would not work since you can only access the pins from the inside when the drawer is removed.

 

Thanks for everyone's feedback.

It is a bit pricey but I'd rather pay more for more security than I need than pay less for a piece of junk that gets my Jeep stolen.

 

One more thing.

Since we have been on the subject of keys.

Does anyone know what is involved with getting a key copied?

I have automatic locks, factory 'alarm' etc. but when I get this Hitch Safe I will only want a simple key in there. Not a key with the buttons.

Will a hardware store be able to copy it or do I have to go to the dealership?

 

I believe the keys need to have a chip in them and then programmed...

 

$69 and free shipping...

I was looking into getting a key copied that will not start the vehicle just open the doors. The reason is so I can keep the ignition key in my car and the door key in the hitch safe. I decided I would rather have my ignition key in the hitch safe (i call it that because it must have a chip installed in order to start the vehicle). With doors and top off sometimes, it is more secure in the hitch safe then it is inside the jeep. I think that might help answer your question

 

Yes I paid the same price off Amazon with free shipping.

 

I have the HitchSafe also (got it free from work). It works great, but you do have to be careful when off-roading. I dropped into a big mud pit and didn't think much about it until 3 days later when I was cleaning the Jeep and tried to open the safe. The mud had sealed it shut and it took me a couple of hours to get it open

 

I wouldn't buy this hitchsafe just for the fact that some crackhead may see it and think that you got something valueable inside that they can hawk.
Pass on that product.

I went to an autoparts store and got a door key cut for my Rubi for 99 cents. I have it cabletied to my jeep. When I need it, I just twist the key, the cabletie breaks off. No tools needed.

Doesn't start the jeep, but it get's the doors open.

 

The cheapest way that I know of is to pick up one of these Rock Keys http://www.quadratec.com/products/pr...hp?kw=rock+key From what I've heard you can get it cut at any hardware store then you can program it your self, I believe the instructions for programing it are in the Jeep owners manual. Hope this helps. - KY
