I use security allen head screws and once its bolted up under my "new" roof rack You'd be hard pressed to remove it IMO
Some bolts and nuts I've even drilled so I can lock wire them as well.
Not going anywhere soon

Currently the lights sit out in front of the rack on brackets, but I'm thinking when I get the light bar it'll probably get mounted under the front Rhino bar. Gets it back further and lower to avoid some reflection off the bonnet. Just need to get wiring up there first. I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to this stuff and already the idea of a bit of exposed cable going over the gutter, along the gutter, over to the awning is annoying me.

yep, cables on my little 10" light bars are on the left end also (drivers side). Mounts along their length.
Just thought that i'd add, that if if I were to mount them underneath my roof rack, then essentially all I would need to do is flip them, so the mounds would be on tip of the bar, then the cables would then run to the passenger side.

I think I'll be doing this soon. Will run 2 x 7 core 4mm trailer wire up from the B pillar I think. This gives me plenty of room for future use and is enough to power 2 x hid, led bar, led strip in the awning, side work lights and rear work/reverse lights

That's a pretty nifty way of doing it Mudski. Your not limited to having the rack leg over the B pillar then.

As a few others have mentioned. My bar, as well as most other I've seen, have had the cable at one end. But the bar can be flipped either way, to suit.
Just my experience.

I just use 4mm twin core wire with a waterproof plug on it so if I need to remove the rack I just unplug it. The white marks you can see on the wire in the door jam is just dirt from the door seal.
