SXS security

Recommended Posts

So I just got a new RZR and will be using it to get around on my upcoming hunts. I have never worried about leaving my truck parked in the past, but a RZR might be a little easier to steal. Any suggestion like cable locks or ill switches? I'm also curios about equipment. Ill have a spare belt and the tools to swap it out and tire plugs. Are there small jump boxes and compressors that can be stashed away without taking up too much room?

Been thinking about security myself. Read a thread on another forum where the guy came back to his machine deep in the back country and it was gone. :( 

Wouldn't take take much to drop it in neutral and winch it up a trailer.  Ive searched online but haven't found anything worthwhile. 

Was looking at this.

I store all my gear in a bed box.  Compressor, jumper box, belt, tools, tool straps....etc.

I know there is a lo jack option out there as well.  Adding a kill switch might not be a bad idea.  I also have a small tote that I store my compressor, jack, some tools, plugs, fuses, tow straps and a few other small items in.  I usually just throw it in the bed and hope no one takes it.

Kill switch is pretty easy on most things. Or a valve on the fuel line to kill the fuel.

Do these new machines not have an imobolizer? Or whatever the particular company calls it. Meaning the key has to be programmed to start it. If not the a kill switch and a boot would be good. I’d say 9/10 times you’ll be fine but that one time would worry me. I don’t own a side by side and I don’t lo-Jack my boots but if they cost 20k I pry would! As far as the pocket jump boxes go, they work great! I use one at work.

I usally try and park in hard areas that its about impossible to push or turn around. I guess you could install a kill switch or something? I have a lock box set up for my rzr tho. it mounts to the bed and i have 2 locks on it. assuming if someone was well prepared they could get into it but should keep most people honest.  pretty much the set up i'm running. I replaced the wing set up tho with some different bolts and a lock washer set up.
