Kill switch

Nemo, I use a heavy plastic covered cable looped snugly around the clutch pedal and through the steering wheel (turned) with a padlock on it. If someone really wants your ride they are going to stalk you, show up with a trailer and a winch and drag it on. In those cases you must have good replacement cost insurance. For the casual thief hanging around the parking lot, the heavy cable will stop them. They will need to go inside and by a heavy duty cutter to get the cable off, and then they still have to get it running. Hopefully that will draw some attention and slow them down. It is not hard to start a classic CJ without a key that's for sure. A piece of wire from the battery to the coil, give it a push and pop the clutch, and your on your way! A fuel shutoff somewhere is the best way to prevent a "Hot Wire". They wont get far. When it stalls they will have to figure out why it stopped and then find the fuel shutoff. By then you should be there with a .45 Colt.

If your going to leave it for a long time, Larry's pulling the rotor is also a great idea.
