Making LED Lightbar Anti-Theft

[SteadFAST 4Runner]

These LED Lightbars are pretty easy to steal (except the ones behind the grill) because you just need an allen wrench and wire cutters.

I am posting because I havent found a thread dedicated to trying to make one somewhat theft proof. I see that Rigid has some locknuts but wondering if anyone has other recommendations and PHOTOS!

Rigid security kits are outrageously priced. I am working on some theft proof nuts that are much more affordable.

Another option is to weld plates onto the end of the bolts, or cover them in a JB Weld type resin.

Ive also seen a few mounts (more for bumpers and such) that literally pinch the light bar so it cannot be removed without cutting the mounting tab off.

I looked around at several options, security torx, torx and 6 sided. I ended up using Triple Square, a type of bolt used on Porsches and some other german cars. I had the drivers due to owning a Porsche and I know most people dont have the tools needed to remove them. Not perfect but less expensive than Rigid's option and leaves me feeling decently secure.
