I've got a 2wk old 99 R/T and the first thing I did was have the Lojack
installed. I've since had an Alpine 8081 alarm with all the bells &
whistles (radar sensors for interior and exterior protection, etc.) Factory
airbag lock bolts and spare tire lock. Lastly forget the club, I bought
this thing called an "AutoTazer" that clamps to the steering wheel, it's
cool! If someone grabs it when it's armed you get a 50,000 volt shock!
