JaySS Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 i bought the truck a month ago, and i live in the tacoma WA area. the lojack was the first thing i asked for when i bought the truck and they did it that week. definately a good investment if you live in a sketchy area.

SS Silv Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I am we-tard-ed. What's a lojack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT13 Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I am we-tard-ed. What's a lojack? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The patented LoJack System includes a small radio frequency transceiver hidden in up to 20 places in a your vehicle. Each LoJack System has a unique code that is tied into the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). When a theft is reported to the police, a routine entry into the state police crime computer results in a match of the LoJack System's unique code against the state VIN database. This automatically activates the LoJack System in your car, which emits an inaudible signal. Law enforcement authorities who are equipped with LoJack vehicle tracking units - in their police cruisers and aviation units - are always listening for a LoJack signal. Police use the LoJack vehicle tracking units to track and recover your LoJack equipped vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle, how much does lojack or a decent alarm run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaotik1 Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 If any of you get the lojack you may just want to concider the early waring system. What it is, a little thing that hangs on your key chain, and if the truck/car is moved without this being in there you are notified via, phone,pager,cell, or whatever... Nice add on to the lojack. But always remember if someone wants it bad enough it will be stolen no matter what.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
