SVC Baja front bumper security

[Deleted member 12951]

For those that have this bumper with Rigid LED or perhaps other LED brands, How are you securing the 30" LED?

I found that Rigid sells security screws:
Rigid Industries LED Lighting | LED Lights, Offroad, Marine, Truck

But the special bit is too big/long to fit as the space between the nut and the side of the inside bumper is too close.

The only thing I can think is weld but really don't want to do that...

mine are tied into my alarm system. nothing like a train horn going off when you are trying to be sneaky

Don't have a rigid but, how mine mounts the bolts are on top the bar making it tough to get to the nuts. I also rounded off the nuts so that a wrench would be able to take them off.

Don't remember the post, but someone on FRF, ran a cable lock throught the cooloing fin area and locked it to there truck.

You can trim the tool stem or tack weld it.

How were you able to tie it in to the alarm system? I'd like to do that with mine as well.

you have to open up the wire harness and connect a wire to the ground as close as possible to the light, then use heatshrink to close it back up. run that wire to a relay and then connect the relay to the instant trigger to the alarm. this way, if the harness gets unplugged or cut, it triggers the relay which sends signal to the alarm.

That would be me ... 1/4in stainless cable through the 50in top Baja and 3/16 plastic covered cable through the ones on teh bumper. Lots more salt down there.. I made loop and locked to the frame in a way that is hard to get to.

That's great, thanks for taking the time to explain!
