Protecting your BOV
#20
Resurrecting this thread as I'm about to lay up the car for a while.

Wheels will be removed and the vehicle left on axle stands in a locked barn.

To make it look less attractive again, its possible to pop the headlamps without tools in just a couple of mins each. These will also be stored away from the vehicle.

One thought that came to me is, that after removing the battery, it is very easy to pull the two main ECU computers on the vehicle.

Keeping the ECUs in a metal enclosure away from the vehicle would ensure the vehicle is fully immobilized, and the enclosure would be afforded a gooddegree of electromagnetic shielding

For sure it'll take a very determined thief to make off with it in that state, and hopefully the dilapidated state will also make it look uninteresting for scavenging from.

I expect the time to disable it to this level and put it back to full operating condition will be around 1.5 hours each way. Most of that time will be for the wheels off/on as the vehicle is heavy, as are the wheel-sets.
