Of course that won't keep someone from dumping a soda cup or trash in the back.
How'd you secure the flyrods? Just curious from one angler to another

My 98 XJ was broken into 3 times over 10 years. Im sure it will happen to my JK at some point. I just dont lock it and keep it insured. I have a lock box for under my seat for anything of value.

I'll keep these things in mind. My JK is for trails and a few weekend cruises only so I always have it in the garage, and I live in a fairly quiet area which helps out. I'll keep putting things in the back behind the seat of the 2 door. Tinted windows help, but I also have a black blanket in there to cover stuff up. If you didn't know better, it looks like the carpeting.

I had a soft top and half doors on my TJ and thieves put a nice "L" shaped slice in my soft window to get in rather than unzipping....

Not a JK story, but in my old XJ Cherokee thieves busted out my back window even though the door lock on that side was broken and not locked. I was totally loaded up for a camping trip and they left all my gear intact and only stole the beer.

Nice to hear you haven't had any issues Karl. I hope I don't have any either.

In our area they don't go into the Jeep they take your wheel cover. Had two "Life is Good" stolen in the past month!

Never lock my Jeep and it drives the wife nuts. I rather they just open the door rather than cut my top. God won't be able to save them if I catch someone in my Jeep.
