Securing my Landrover

[Bensouthall]

Leaving at the end of the year for my TransAfrica attempt and want to make the vehicle as secure as possible....

So I've got new doors fitted, had all of the locks renewed, fitted window guards to the rear door and the side window (only one as I have a roller shutter fitted to the other side) and have an immobiliser installed, but I need to make it even MORE secure - from talking to other more experienced travellers!

Does anyone have experience of what to do to make the doors less likely to be broken into eg van-vault style locks, I want to fit something to all 5 doors and need some guidance on systems that are avaliable for a Landrover Defender 110, or ones that can be made to fit.

Another area is the windows, the weakest most obvious point of entry. Apart from fitting window guards to all of the remaining doors and front windscreen - do methods such as security film really work? They don't offer much visual deterant more a means of slowing a would be thief down. Again all views welcomed.

If you have any tricks or cunning security ideas let me, and the forum, know.

Thank you,

Ben
