Well I got a chance to install my Jimmy Jammers.
These are steal plates custom made for the Ram that fit inside the door to stop thieves from jamming a scew driver up under the handle and getting into the truck.
If you recall I just got my truck back from the shop a while ago. This was the 2nd attempted theft on my truck.
I found these Jimmy Jammers on the net and I installed them myself.
The whole thing took about an hour. I must say the first door was a bitch. Once you know what you are doing it goes quite smoothly.
The right hand door took me no time at all.
You do have to take off a bracket so that you can slide the jammer up in place. The instructions say you don't have to but it sure is A LOT easier if you do.
Check out my install pics if you like.
I used a magnet scewdriver just incase I dropped one of the nuts... and I almost did!

Nice! My truck was broken into in that fashion before I bought it. The damage done to the door is still there [>:]

Do you have a address to the site you picked these up from?

 

Here ya go... I should have put this in earlier.
They are about $30 if I remember.

Search Jimmy Jammer on the site.

 

I installed those a while ago as well, they were a pita to install. Took me about 4 hours. I lost almost all of the nuts and had to buy new ones, of course a couple of days later while driving I heard them drop down from whereever they were lost [:'(]

 

why spend the money when they can just break the window with the screwdriver?

 

so whats the deal with the screw driver? this is the first time i heard about htis.... special to the rams? rutrow raggy!

 

Check out the website... a picture is worth $$$$

The bad guys can get into ANY vehicle with door handles like on the 99 Ram, Ford and Chevy have them too.

The whole idea is to slow them down from getting in... make them move to the next vehicle.
Mine was JAMMED during broad daylight between 10am - 2pm in a grocery store parking lot!
They would not smash the window in this situation.
If they smash the window they are going to make a BIG NOISE and create a lot of attention.

 

Not to go off subject, but why don't they just make 2 small cams that record entries into a "black box" if the vehicle is broken into? Nobody even pays attention any more to alarms.
Anti theft measures only keep out honest people...

 

that is worth the money then, because what they did to my 88 sable was they just busted the lock in with a screwdriver.
