photo optic sensor or biometric through a relay photo optic sensor should be mounted in a discrete area you have to cover the sensor with your finger to activate the sensor which activates the relay which allows power to the starter then you can turn the key and start otherwise turning key will not do anything you can also use biometric sensor which will basically do the same but now only with your finger print

Could you have a switch wired to the fuel pump?

Bright red Club on the steering wheel. Visible from outside the jeep so it deters thieves from even breaking a window, which is annoying too.
Or use a combination of ignition kill and a club.

Yup. Splice the fuel pump wire into a hidden switch. The motor will turn over and maybe start for a second then die.

The only sure fire way to prevent jeep theft is to not own one!

When I used to work in the industry we used to mount a high beam switch from a old van under the carpet and route the ign power through it,... Tap the carpet and it was dead , tap it again and it was live,...

Simple and cheap and so simple no one ever found it
