GPS Tracking Security Recommendations

[ADVtraveller]

I'd like to install DIY install - GPS trackers on my FR toyhauler and Polaris Rzr UTV. Any recommendations with those with experience would be great.
LoJack is a bit pricey, as I'm thinking in the 200 to 400 dollar realm. Or less. And I'd like to be able to remove it, and LoJack hides the unit.

Looks like there are several under $100 on Amazon. Was reading comments on one where he caught his wife visiting her “boy Toy”.

That's funny for us, sad for him. Unless he is looking for divorce ammo...
That being typed, I want it for security purposes. We keep our trailer stored, and it would be nice to see where it is if it disappears. UTV too. Got too many custom and personal mods done to get a shock if I go to pick it up and it's GONE. LoJack is good stuff, but so secure even the owner doesn't know where it is on the vehicle.
Want something I can move if I trade up.

It was this one.

After my first trailer was stolen from a storage yard, I was definitely putting a tracker on the replacement. After a bunch of research I decided to give this a shot:

So far I'm a fan. Not very expensive and the monthly charges are very reasonable. When I take my trailer out for a trip, I soon get a text and email letting me know my asset is on the move. Bang for the buck wise I don't think it can be beat.

I recently read that thieves activate a device which negates LoJack (or other tracking device) when they steal a vehicle so, you might want to look into that before dropping a wad of cash.

I hadn't thought about it but there are devices to defeat trackers.

A shame one has to do this.

True.

And thanks, DavidBo,; I think I'll order the Trak 4. 50 bucks and the yearly rate is peanuts compared to others.
As for GPS defeating devices, I don't know but I'd guess most RV and RZR utv thieves are opportunity - bad guys. Not high tech Breaking Bad types making a living with a GPS defeat device. It's more like tweakers looking for a new lab or venereal disease nest. My FR is a 2011, not a Lamborghini. No succesful professional thieves would give it a second look with faded decals and such. But, I could be wrong. But I do appreciate the info, thank you.

Thanks to all for the feedback.

Thank you. I just ordered 2 of them.
