You can break the power wire to your fuel pump, splice in a switch.

I dont remember which wire it is but if you pop off your rear seat and acess the fuel pump wires, and grab a multimeter with the ignition on youll figure it out.

There are few idea threads out there. The fuel pump idea is one.

I have a fuel pump kill switch installed.

You need 12 guage wire, a switch and a soldering iron.

The fuel pump wire is under the middle seat in the wire cluster.

It is a black and yellow striped wire.

I cut that wire, soldered in my wires and a switch and I was good to go. If you do a nice job like me, you can run all the wiring beneath the carpeting and have the switch be wherever you want it.

There are closer wires on your ecu if you have the nerve and skill to hunt down the wire and splice in a switch. There is even a power wire for your ecu, you can kill fuel, ecu power, or spark. There are others but you don't want to tell thieves on this forum all your plans.
