    I did a search but couldn’t find anything.

    I was thinking how quick and easy it would be for someone to unbolt and take my running boards.

    Anyone have any good ideas for securing them?
    Thanks

    I have never ever heard of nerf bar thefts. If that is, in fact, a thing. You could try to find one of those security torx bolts.

    Ok thanks. Maybe I’m just being paranoid.
    I was just thinking that the bolts are so accessible making the bars easy to steal.

    It’d take anyone with a power drill with a socket bit about minute and half to take them off. 12 bolts and it’s gone. But not a big market for them.

    If it happens, just take it as a good excuse to get sliders.
