I have an EMP Shield on my house and it gives me some peace of mind. So I got one for my Bronco (which is stuck on ice mountain). the engine bay looks a little crowded so wondering if anyone has installed on of these already and how it went? FYI- this device is like a huge surge protector to protect against lightning strikes and EMP attacks.

Like a foil had for your bronco?

I joke, but the prospect for an EMP style attack grows every week. Lightning strikes should not really be a concern given the design of vehicles being more narrow at the top than at the bottom and large rubber tires makes the chance of a strike on a stock vehicle low and if it does the effects even lower. There's a great top gear episode on this subject.

do you really think the car jacker is going to give up if the emp doesn’t work if they really want your car. No, they just resort to more conventional tactics

Get yourself a personal protection dog , body guard or a gun. Because all that anti-emp device is going to do is piss them off.

I was clearly joking. Everyone knows birds aren’t real
I wish the government would fix the leaks in their surveillance drones. Those drones park in the oak tree above where I park my bronco and they leak all over the hood.

If you truly wish to create a proper faraday ”cage” per se, within the engine compartment, the most important thing would be to electrically ground the “cage” part.

Create a fabricated copper mesh, in 4 panels (top / left side / right side / front), and then ground each one together [think electrical grounding wires]. The difficulty is going to be the lack of earth ground when shielded by the massive rubber tires. Maybe a trailing copper “drag” ground?

Sorry bud, but this device will NOT protect from EMP, which goes through everything in all directions. You have to wrap the item to be protected entirely in copper mesh or equivalent. FARADAY CAGE)
