Parts suggestions
So I'm working on getting things together for the next stage of my build which is custom front bumper and then finding a way to do D ring mounts for my rear bumper. The problem is I have had friends get their accessories stolen when their cars parked at night. If I'm going to do front D Rings I want them to be lockable does anybody know if there's a product like this already or if I will have to manufacture something of my own?
I mean worst case scenario I just removed them when they're not in use. That brings me to my second item. Does anybody know where I can get a disconnect plug kit for a front winch? Because I am concerned with things being stolen I had already planned to put a 2 inch receiver on the front bumper and just use a removable winch tray. The problem is I've only ever seen disconnectable winch plugs on military vehicles. |
Something like this?

I'd just make my own pins out of some bar stock, make them a bit long, and mill a hole on one end for a padlock.

Ummmm how much are you paying for D Rings that a $45 lock makes sense?
I'm more concerned with a removable winch setup because the last thing I want walking off in the middle of the night will be a $400 winch. |
Well, to be honest, I'm not even sure my solution of making pins really makes sense. Thinking about it, I probably wouldn't keep the D rings on the Jeep. Rather, I'd keep them in a tool or ammo box in the back until needed, along with a tow strap and the like. On my Silverado I have a trailer hitch that I don't keep on it. I stow it under the back seat until I need it. Take 30 seconds to attach and I'm ready to pull.
Unless it's the look of the D rings that you're really going for? In which case I suppose you're going to have to do what you need to do. I don't think $45 for this purpose is worth it, but you may. That's up to you. :-) -T. |

It's not so much the d-rings costing money as it is I just don't like watching my **** walk off. It all spawns from my buddy. He bought a nice 05 dirtymax and it had one of those 24 in LED light bars on the front bumper. The first night he had it the light bar got jacked.
