I picked up a Kargo Master safari rack off of craigslist the other day and was wondering if anyone has made or bought some locks for the mounts.
I've had my Jeep broken into once already out here and wouldn't want to give them an opportunity to simply unbolt and snag my rack.

 

You have it attached to the factory roof rack?

 

No, it's not attached to the factory cross bars.

 

To get it off the roof, what type of fasteners would you have to remove?

Bolts and nuts?

 

Obviously other than the picture I pulled off the web, I have no first hand knowledge of the Safari rack you have.

For general hardware, a quick Google searched pulled up stuff like this

Kinda pricey

Personally I'd just tack weld a couple nuts or whatever that I could get to with a grinder if I HAD to get them off.

 

bicycle cable locks and/or tamper proof fasteners should slow down thieves:

I highly doubt somebody would go through the hassle of stealing a rack.. but i'm sure there are ways to secure it down! But then again there are always ways to get it off.. I'd just leave it. Kargomaster racks arn't a one man job to put up there. They are HEAVY. You will hear it crash into your roof if anybody tries to steal it.

 

Idk, people do weird things nowadays. I thought the rack was fairly easy to move with the guy I bought it from, but maybe we're juss really strong. Haha jk, anyways, thanks for the input. Here's a pic of it on the XJ, but I'll run out and take a picture of the mounts.

 

Here's the mount. Just two hex bolts on each mount. Idk if this picture will help at all.
I work hard for all of my stuff, so basically, I was just thinking of ways to prevent it from getting stolen.

 

I wonder if you could do roof mounts and gutter mounts? I have gutter mounts and if you did both I'm sure it wouldn't go anywhere anytime soon. Probably different heights though..

 

I was thinking about just switching to gutter mounts. I don't really like the hex bolts. What do you think of them?
