Not true! You can always add another d ring to that one so you can put the strap

LOL so now do we need to question whether to leave the second D-ring on to be stolen, or should we keep that one in our rig where we should have kept the first one? Maybe weld it on?

Make a chain out of D rings, so it is 100% customizable and weld some of them. Maybe every 7th one. Lol

Seriously this is why some people laugh at this forum. Who would even consider welding the D-rings on? That's just stupid.

I keep mine in my recovery bag. One is always in the Jeep, along with a treestrap, to use with my winch and my factor55 in case I need to pull someone out of a ditch....

How about weld them on and then coat them in a fast acting strong adhesive? Kind of like gluing a coin to the ground and video taping it. Better yet, put a video camera with an isolated battery so you can get footage of them trying to remove them.
