Securing your LED Light bars

[J-BlickPhoto]

I have 3 led light bars mounted on my Baja rack. Short of welding, does anyone have any suggestions on how to "lock" them or "secure" them to the rack? I've considered welding but wanted to see if someone has done some thing else. They're an off market brand...they're not Rigids. Thanks for the help!

FYI, I'm in Houston where stealing is like a second job for some people. My buddy walked into best buy yesterday and his tail gate was stolen.

I haven't used these yet, but will probably utilize something similar when I install some lights in the near future.

Would this work in your case or are the thieves savvy enough to get around this style of bolt?

Here are some options as well, depending on what kind of hardware your setup uses.

I use the "tri-groove" nuts listed here for mu Rigid SR's.

I always try to purposely mix head designs...star+phillips+hex....

f' em...if they want them that bad, they're going to have to pull their hair out to get them...

Another great way to through them off course is "hide" the heads completely..

Thank you for this information as well. I was wondering how some of you guys were safeguarding those expensive lightbars.

Ah Houston, how I miss you...
Let's face it, in The Bayou City stealing is the only job for some people.

F250. He said he walked in for 10-15 min. They were probably waiting in the parking lot for his model.

Ive got some left over spanner nuts I ordered from mcmaster-carr if you need a few, 1/4-20 and 3/8-16. The only thing you would need is the wrench. Let me know and Ill send a few over to you, just pay the shipping.
