I would think if you got a large battery shut off you would be able to mount that on the front end somewhere (zip tied or build a plate to mount to grill or maybe bumper) close to the battery and just run your main power from your battery terminal through that and a return to your main harness, so just adding the loop between the terminal and your harness through a temporarily mounted switch.

Should be pretty basic.

Do they require a fuel shut off or fire cut off? On a diesel you'd have to have a fuel cut off but what do they require for gas trucks?

they require a wire out the rear to hook to a cable so if you break free from the sled it breaks conection and your vehicle shuts off i have been told run a 10 guage wire or larger to the ignition fuse but dont know if it will trip the security system
