First mods to my new Rubi

Will your Rubi have a Sentry key engine immobilizer? If so then I've read that you may have to make your alarm play with it in order to make it work.

Let me know what you find - I'm definately interested in putting an alarm with a proximity sensor in my new TJ (will be ordered on Monday).

Just a heads up for you, you are posting in HTML that a lot of folks on this group can't read. Lots of folks are on mainframes or on other than microcrap systems and can only read text. You could be missing a lot of opinions...

Well, in that case, perhaps you'd consider learning how to use a computer and knock off the HTML. And stick the smileys in the same place....

If you lived outside of the snowbelt, I would suggest taking a bye on the undercoating. It isn't needed. Having said that, I have no idea what the salt does.

There is nothing from the factory, but I am sure you can find something if you look long enough.

Is this really a Jeep question, or is it a remote starter/alarm system question? There are many variables that go into the answer for this sort of thing, and the variables that are important to me are likely not very important to you.

This sort of thing is better answered by the guys at the alarm stores. They should know what the systems are that come on the vehicle, and what is needed to play well together with their stuff.

It gets between the undercoating and the floor eventually, and then you are

****ed. You'd better get all that stuff off before you start welding. I lived in the rust belt when every ten year old car with undercoating was a candidate for a new floor. That is how I know this.

Undercoating is the best thing for road noise. Imho, that is the only reason to use it. You can also get jute padding to go under the carpet from J. C. Whitney and other places. I believe that Whitney has it custom cut for the Wrangler. It is great for soaking up water and causing the floor to rust from the inside. I am cheerful today aren't I?

I have a one-eighth inch thick form fitted vinyl floor liner in my YJ from J. C. Whitney, with no padding under it. This is some tough stuff. The vehicle came from the factory with galvanizing and undercoating, so that takes care of the road noise and (I hope) corrosion protection. Once a year on a sunny day I take the liner out, wash the tub, touch up the paint, dry it, and hope for another rust-free year.

Actually when I went to order my Sport the other day a chick came and showed me accessories, including:

undercoating - "..this is a wrangler, i plan on having a thick coat of mud under it"

interior stain stuff -".. does it get out mud?"

Security system with auto door locks - i said ".. the wrangler doesn't have power locks" she then said "there are 2 sensors" and i was like "..you make the doors power" she said "yes" , yea right..

if somethign is galvanized then it shouldnt' rust.

doesn't the jeep come with 7/70 rust warranty? you'd think they probably do a good job of rustproffing knowing that many folks take them into wet areas...
