Just wanted to let ya know I have had LoJack installed in 4 of my Cruiser. They actaully came out to my house and installed them. After having a Cruiser stolen last year and more and more Cruisers stolen in my area we decided LoJack was the best way to protect/recover our Cruisers if ever stolen. Its a very simple system and was no problem installing even in a fj40. I also added on 3 of them the Early Warning feature that calls and emails you if your Cruiser is moved without you(actaully without the key fob) in it, I like this because I have more than one Cruiser.

I am not trying to pimp LoJack but it will recover your cruiser if stolen. Its newish to WA, but the cops are loving it as they know when they get a car theft and the car has Lojack in it they WILL catch the scum who stole it..........and prolly recover some more cars at the same time.
Short version of how it works. When your car is stolen, you report it to the police, they enter it in there system as stolen, this activates the Lojack unit in your car and it puts out a radio signal. Local and state police cars/planes ect are equipted with LoJack recivers(range is 5+ miles) when a cop picks up the signal the unit in his car tells him which way the signal is........so he can close in on it. LOJack works in parking garages and under tree cover....where GPS doesn't. Not all areas are covered by LoJack, they are adding more areas all the time. There is NO monthly or yearly fee. You pay once and thats it. About 1/2 the cars recovered the owners don't even know they have a Lojack, they bought the car from someone who had it installed years ago........but it doesn't matter it still works.
Just last week there was an Acura stolen up north of me in an area where the local cops don't have LoJack installed in their cars yet. But a Tacoma cop happens to live in this area and he had a Lojack reciever in his car.........on the way home he got a signal, he called the State Patrol(who I think all have units) and they raided the place where the car was........see picking up a signal lets them get a warant to search the house and property
Car was recovered in less than a day, the doors had been takin off and that was it, owner of the car had no idea it had a LoJack unit Most cars are found undamaged and within 24hours
if you happen to live in WA State and own a Cruiser I have aranged some VERY special pricing(not quite 1/2 of retail, just a bit over cost and no one discounts LoJack) thru Connie.........who I had sign up as a LoJack dealer(thru the car lot she works at) And yes I got mine at cost FWIW cost is $345, retail is $695, she will charge $420 for Cruiser owners. There are other options(like early warning is Cruiserhead cost of $225) you can get and they are also discounted for Cruiser owners. Connie makes NOTHING on this, she had her fj62 stolen last year and it SUCKED, she(and I) don't want this to happen to others, so thats why she is doing this. Even at retail I believe its worth doing. Bad news is Connie is changing jobs soon, she is hoping to become a LoJack dealer at the new place(powersports dealers) but she isn't sure if she can as its not in a active LoJack area.
So if anyone is interesed PM me and I'll put you in touch with Connie. But even if your not in WA........think about getting a LoJack unit.
any questions I will try to answer, I picked the installers brain today to a few hours
again Connie or I make NOTHING on this!
