    Those of you that have these brackets, how do you prevent theft? I am interested in these and set on @CaliRaisedLed but I am concerned about someone clipping the wires and unbolting the pods. Is these a bolt or something that can be added to prevent theft? Thank you

    Although cool, these would be last on my list to install.

    I'm not fond of any of the current mounting systems out there... but hey, "they work"

    Thats what i have on my set. I just went to homedepot and found them there. nothing is theft proof just slows them down and make them move on. Same thing with the tailgates.

    Pretty good actually! There are newer pods from @ragofabrication and freedomled that I would jump on. Mind you they arent Rigid pods but they do exactly what I want when I need them.

    It also depends on what kind you buy. There are different level of pods. I think 5op is the newest ones. The ones I replaced my fogs with are just normal pods, but my ditch ones are 4op.

    Thanks for the info. @ragofabrication if those 5D pods are going up soon I may just wait. Is their going to be a hefty price difference between the 18W and the 5D?
