D-rinds shackels?
How's it going I have a little problem with people stealing d-rings off my rig. I am in college and for some reason drings are a hot commodity over here. I have had 3 stolen off my bumper. I've also had to modify my winch so that people cant pull it out while I'm parked somewhere. Anyway I was wondering if there was a way to modify my drings so that they won't be stolen as easy? So some kind of locking mechanism. Thanks for the help!

i thought that a couple of times too. come out to missing shackle on the front. but then another time, one shackle was so loose, the pin was only a couple of threads to falling out.
maybe you're just losing them rather than someone stealing them?
i now tighten mine with an adjustable.

X2 on the loc tite. And use the red! I have had a few ripped off, now I only get the screw together ones and coat the threads with red loc tite. Never had one walk off again! I wouldn't weld them, I have had to take mine off and use them to put two straps together, it was hard enough to get it apart with loc tite let alone weld.

I had a problem with people stealing my D-Rings on my other rigs, I found a very simple solution, I kept them in my recovery gear bag until they were needed. I never had one stolen after that !
If you want to keep them on your rig, Expect them to get stolen at some point.
