I am about to buy a light bar and mount it to the bull bar. What security measures do you take to ensure low life don't steal it?

I drilled a hole in the top tube and and panted inside then bolted it up inside ( real pain to do) with locktight and a blob of silicone over the nuts then finished it off with rubber grommits, looks great I can put a pic up if you want

Why not just remove it till you need it?? Thats what i'm doing, plus it shouldn't take more then a whopping 5 mins to install anyway.

Why show it off if your worried it'll get knocked off!!

i have tamper proof nuts on mine, down the road both got theirs stolen one night and mine are still intact, not cheap but effective.

Those button allen head with the tamperproof pin like Rhino have ,I drilled mine out to 8mm and retapped them, but if they want them, theyll
get them. Would be easy enough after a few beers staring at it to come up with a solution. Nylocs are good cause thief then needs 2 shifters.
Just had an idea What size bar going down to Laser cutters shortely.

Where do we get these tamper proof thingies from? I was gonna put a tack of weld from the arc welder on the nut to thread...
