"Security" bolts? For light bars etc? Suggestions?

Hey fellas,
I keep seeing lightbars getting knocked off, and was wondering what you mob use as security bolts.

Thanks

I have drilled the bolt and used a castle nut and split pin.
You can buy security bolts, allen heads with the pin in the centre
Mind you the allen key costs a small fortune

Unless you spend about $40 bucks on the fasteners nothing much works against a full on thief but tamperproofs deter the opportunistic ones that only have a shifter or a multi tool

$20 (or free to shop lifters) gets you a set of drivers for almost every common security bolt in use, tri-wing, security torx, security allen etc

I use Lightforce security nuts on the spotties and the light bar is on the roof so a pain to steal. The Lightforce ones are good but someone with a pin driver and hammer will remove them with some effort and noise.

$40 for a pair on eBay

I have them as well...........

wont stop someone with time and patience, but will stop little sods thinking they can get away with it

I lost my reversing spots off the back of my car a few years ago, they are now double nuts with locktite 406 and something else..........

You could mount a truck battery in the back for sole purpose of making your nuts and bolts live, would deter people from trying again

Or put a extension cord that you can hide, plug in to 240v over night sometime touches it it's going to hurt and they won't do that again

Maybe even drill a small hole in the end case of
the light bar and use some loc wire as a deterrant

Unfortunately setting a 'man trap'
will result in a lengthy prison term.
And accidentally killing your kids is a
frowned on, just a little bit too.
