I recently purchased a warn winch and Fab Four winch mount.
My father in law mentioned that he always had issues with people trying to steel his winch so he tack welding the nut to the bolt.
The way the winch bolts to the mount I don't think I'd have space to get a welder in there and a grinder if I ever needed to remove the winch.
I've seen the factor 55 winch lock bolt but if it's available to anyone to purchase, if the scumbag stealing people's winches has gotten wise to it, he will have purchased the key making the bolt a waste of money.
I've been looking into tamper resistant bolts on a website called loss prevention fasteners but it seems they can't be bothered to sell to me.
Which leaves me here. Not really sure how to mount this winch securely and don't want to risk it being stolen.
How do you keep your winch secure?
