Im getting ready to install my 52" roof bar just wondering what everyone is doing to help there light bars from being stolen. Looking for ideas if pics are available
I've heard pretty good things about carolina metal masters. They've got a couple of different styles. Since Rigid type lights are HUGE among the jeep community, a search on their forums may yield something else. Here's a couple pictures of what they offer. looks like they're in the $40 range.
I also heard that the chinese bars run a different size thread on their lights. I don't have any yet to compare, but I have heard that CMM has customized the threads on their locking nuts in order for them to fit the chinese bars. I'm sure a call to their customer service would clarify.

Reason: could be important
It's possible, but I think the idea is that since it's almost a sphere, it should be difficult to get vise grips to actually grip enough to get a turn on it. I could think of ways to get them off though, but thieves seem to be mostly looking for the easy steal and don't typically carry around a bag of tools.
buy cheap light bars so you dont have to worry lol
I agree! I bought a Chinese 10" LED light bar off ebay for my four wheeler. It was one with Cree LEDs. Cost $89 and works great! Saw a rigid one in person in the showroom of a local shop and think mine is just as good quality as the rigid. It's been covered in mud and sprayed with a pressure washer and still works great.
Well I mean I had a cheap ebay light bar, and have a rigid now and the quality difference is substantial. Lol. Im saying at a roof bar that is super exposed, its not worth it. I couldnt sleep if my truck was outside with 2k bucks easy to steal
Locked light bars
