It's just my opinion, but if you want decent audio in your jeep, go with some kind of hidden system.  Something with a remote, so you can stick the stereo where no one will find it.  

One other option i've seen ... make a 'fake' faceplate that looks like it's allready been stolen.  have wires sticking out, etc.

Even with the hardtop and doors ... they'll get in if they want to.  They'll just do more damage getting in.

A couple of hasps, a rivet gun and a matching master lock set come to mind...

there are two ways to solve this problem.


94 has a separate key to the ignition, however the doors and the glove box and some times console have the info you need to make a key for the doors. the glove box will have 4 of the 6 bits of info a locksmith needs. to save time and money pull the glove box door off and  bring the door and jeep to the lock shop. they can make a key..


or if the locks you have are crap buy new lock cylinders at auto zone and install them your self. they are not expensive but are a job if it is the first time.  you may want to swap the cams from the old lock onto the new to avoid snapping the older plastic.
