My samurai has a clifford alarm on but has no fob
now the thing is im after security but should i
*get a fob and get it programed
*rip it all out and replace
*rip it out and use other security eg pedal box.
i dont know if its worth having the alarm on a off/on road vehicle, could it potentially cause more problems than its worth or are they pretty good alarm
any input is appreciated thanks you

Re: clifford alarm help please
I don't know much about clifford alarms but mine came fitted with a gemini alarm system, It used to set itself off all the time and stranded me in a car park once, SO i ripped it out, It was pretty simple when it came out and the only immobilising it did was through a relay in line with ignition barrel, which I simple connected back together. Now I use a Disklock on my steering wheel instead

I know its been some time ,
Clifford alarms r crap, they drain the battery so much, if you havent ripped it out yet,then do so.

Re: clifford alarm help please
I was thinking about fitting a racing quick release steering wheel to my truck as security, but decided that the smaller wheel would make it a bugger to turn. One thing I do is leave the T-box in neutral in car parks, as some oiks these days probably wouldn't realise why there was no drive.....if they managed to get her to start in the first place.
There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Re: clifford alarm help please
I was planning on doing that to mine! One for the front axle, one for the rear. I've got the centre drum handbrake on my t-case, so it seemed logical, if I'm adding an "extra layer of protection" to add linelocks to the calipers. Hiding the controls of them seems like a great way to prevent the car going walkies. Individual linelocks could make great fiddle brakes, though...
