Default Top down luggage / equipment security...

What does everyone use for security to minimize the grab and go theft when the top is down?


I am heading out on a road trip at the end of the month, and looking for some ideas. I am thinking about getting some of these:http://www.campmor.com/webapp/wcs/st...0226&langId=-1

I have seen them used for backpacks and looked them up today. I think these will work as I can secure it to the tie downs or roll bars. Any other suggestions?

This is probably your best bet, although a little more expensive. I guess how much is your stuff and piece of mind worth. Also, out of sight out of mind security too.

I think the Tuffy security drawer would be the most secure,
I'll probably get that. And I intend to have the EVS-1 perimeter
alarm installed as well.

I had one of these (see link below) that I used with my last Grand Cherokee. Turns out it works very well with my new JK (and even matches). For normal day to day driving with the top/doors off, I do not leave anything in the Jeep that I am not willing to part with.

But tomorrow we have a cookout at work and I needed to bring a propane tank, some chairs, and a portable radio. It is going to be nice out and I wanted to leave my top off but do not want this stuff to walk....so this attachment works well for planned trips where you might want to lightly secure some items....certain it can be broken into, just keeps the honest folks out.

Plus, with this, I do not lose any rear cargo space by mounting something back there....

I love how we all refer to the people that only steal stuff thats not bolted down as the honest ones. We should call them incompetent theives!
