How do you keep someone from stealing winch??
Is there a device to lock down the bolt nuts or something so they can't just unbolt it and walk away??

If u are good at welding u could weld your initials on it somewhere and take a pic because if it gets stolen u know if it is yours, they arnt that common on like cl and other sites

I mounted my fog light brackets with the winch bolts then the adjuster bolts are torques bolts... I doubt many jackers carry torques sockets around. Although tack welding the nut would be safer!

Just a small tack weld on one side of a few bolts will work great, you don't need to do all of the bolts, and just grind the weld off if you need to remove the winch for some reason.
