Securing Bolt ons
I've been looking at lights and other things that bolt onto the outside of my jeep, however they're only bolted on.
What is going to stop a thief from simply unbolting the new mod and walking away?
Loctite?
Tack welds?
There's gotta be some sort of security bot available similar to lug security devices. Or maybe a cable lock?

You can buy small cable locks.. I used several bolts when only one is needed and also cleverly hidden zip ties... Not 100%but they have to sing for their supper.

securing lights etc.
Light force makes some real good locks(McGard) that secure the bolt so no one can get to them. Also I have used security lock nuts from Mc Master Carr.

x2. I paid 35 bucks for my Hellas. I would rather lose a 35 dollar light instead of 400 bucks in body damage. Locking them up will do more bad than good.
