I was not aware of what's involved to relocate the wire, went by my shop but they just glanced at it didn't really look further in.
Good to know it's simpler than I was told.
Would be a good time for black lower bumper if the assembly is coming off
Also have it shoot out a bunch of tazer electrodes, might get lucky and catch them trying to drag off a buddy or 2I was talking to someone about putting a trap wire into it that when broken would set the alarm off. Wouldn’t be too difficult, just reroute the hood pin circuit trough it with some changes, you rip out the wires and the vehicle thinks the hood was opened… hmm, now I have 2 things to work on
That is a good idea however no matter what you'll still need to open the factory harness shielding/wrap a bit to pull the harness back into the engine bay and or behind the rad support. If you don't the factory plug for the horns are still in reach to the thieves and can easily be unplugged. I had a steel tube covering the entire harness from the horns right to the steel rad support and those bastards still figured out a way to get inside of it and yank the connectors off. You need to get the connection point well inside the engine bay.For the less "hands on" guys some kind of relocation harness would be ideal!
I had my local off-road warehouse move my horn to the bulkhead driver side of the engine bay. Simple install, they didn't remove the bumper/grill, used the existing mount and it took them less than 2 hours. Paid somewhere around $300. The horn is definitely less loud than it used to be, but not necessarily in a bad way....you can definitely still hear it.
It's not nearly that involved. In this post, I talk a little about the relocation my buddy and I did while installing the shock sensor:

Going to try this myself.It's not nearly that involved. In this post, I talk a little about the relocation my buddy and I did while installing the shock sensor:
Add a Shock Sensor?
I’ve been looking at the Add-A-Shock Sensor kits for a bit now; just curious if anybody here has one and what your experience has been with it? I certainly don’t want a bunch of false alarms (I’m wondering if opening the tailgate will set it off?). I park on an incline also: not sure if...
I didn't take any before or "during the install" pictures, because it's so simple and straightforward, anyone who can turn a ratchet and can cut and splice two wires can do this easily. It would take your average mechanic less than 30 minutes to do, so $300 is a little out there.
