I bought a battery disconnect switch at a commercial truck parts store.
I then removed the ground wire in my battery box. Enlarged the hole so
that the switch could be mounted with the control part inside the tool box.
Drilled a new hole beside the switch for the ground strap. Hooked up the
wires and now since you can put a padlock on the toolbox lid after the
seat is lowered you now have a " dead " and secured vehicle.
No one will see this little modification unless you lift the seat, open the
toolbox and flip the switch.
FWIW, I have the original tool pouch, with tools, and the jack inside the
toolbox and neither has hit the switch unintentionally while driving.
Hope this helps.
