I can recommend the Jimnybits ones! The OS is a bit fiddly to mount though, and you will need a bloody strong drill bit! I used an 11mm cobalt bit, and drilled 4mm pilot holes. Slow speed on the drill and not too much pressure, the chassis is bloody hard!

Mounted some L brackets to the hidden threaded holes in the boot floor so I can tie down tools etc.

Getting concerned with the increasing number of Jimny thefts I have bought a Stoplock Pro for the steering wheel.

I did a bit of a Google for the top 5 Steering Lock and this one (along with the Pro Elite*) came top.

* Stoplock Pro Elite has a deeper bend in the arm.

Edit: I have just read the instructions and they recommend fitting it with the black casing (lock) at the bottom of the steering wheel.

I have one of those for my Jimny. Its alright as a visual deterrent and will slow them down a little. I have removed one myself in a carpark with a hacksaw I had just purchased from Halfords, plenty of strange looks, no one asking what I was doing!
This is --- A) a sad reflection on the "don't get involved" society,

I looked a lot rougher than I really am, or C) a bit of both.

Don't loose the key

or you to can find out how long the take to cut off.

Mine sometimes pushes in the horn whilst being fitted, makes me jump every time, not sure mine will fit bit at the bottom, arm hits windscreen.

Yokohama Geolanders, Sony head unit, NAUTILUS Air Horn, DRL conversion, Rear cargo space, Elvis Bobblehead, transfer Guard, Indian hanging Elephant, Koni Heavy track dampers, Custom SS exhaust, Voodoo Doll, Adventure Rack with LED ight bar, vintage ERIBA caravan usually attached (yes it's slow)

Like you say it is a deterrent. If they really want your vehicle they will get it. But if it is quick take in any vehicle then making your less promising helps.

It does fit mine the other way, that is one bad thing with the Nautilus horn, when you press it accidentally
